Peony Garden - Just Add Colour

The Peony Garden Designer Series Paper is lovely. The soft and muted colours Basic Grey, Grey Granite and Petal Pink make a lovely backdrop for lots of cards. Today though, I wanted something brighter, with more colour.

I started with a piece that had Grey Granite outline images, and used sponge daubers with Magenta Madness and Mossy Meadow to swirl some colour on my flowers and leaves. I love how easy it is to make some areas lightly coloured, and others darker and more intense.

Once I had added my colour, I didn’t want to hide it all so I just added a sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set, stamped with Magenta Madness ink on Whisper White cardstock. I cut it out with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I love all the stitched dies, with the extra bit of detail around the edge.

A bow tied with Grey Granite Shimmer Ribbon finished off my card.
