Hello friends! As promised on Thursday, I am back today to show case the 3D portion of the Peony Dies. blossom on the card and on the book mark were cut with the dies. There are five pieces to the dies, four petal pieces and a stamen. The way you assemble the dies is much easier than it looks.
For this card I used the Flowers and More Cards and Envelope set, the Magenta Madness card. I cut a white scallop edged rectangle with the Stitched So Sweetly dies, and stamped and cut greenery from Forever Fern. I used a punch to create the sentiment tag and stamped it with a phrase from the Prized Peony stamp set. I finished the card with Magenta Madness ribbon and faceted gems.
I used two different coloring techniques on the two flowers. I have a favorite, do you? I made the book marker first and I used an aqua painter brush and magenta ink to color the petals. For the card, I used a soft makeup brush and the magenta ink to color the petals. I was very impressed with how the ink spread using the makeup brush. Much easier more smooth than a dauber.
Thanks for stopping by today. The products used to create these two items are all linked below.
