Prismacolor Penoy

     My card today is another I made using my Prismacolor pencils. I've really enjoyed playing with them and have made several others that I will share in the future.
     I put together to stamp companies to create this card. the first being Stampendous. My friend Lynda came over to stamp with me and brought along some new stamps. This one is called Cling Fresh Peony,  Stampendous Cling Fresh Peony-Amazon, and Altenew's new dotted washi tape, Altenew- Dotted Washi Tape and Thank you from Flower arrangement die set, Altenew-Flower-arrangement-die-set,.

Other supplies used:
Prismacolor Premier soft core pencils
Michaels Black glitter washi tape
Recollections White 65# cardstock
Recollections Black  65# cardstock
MFBGOLD-1212-1 gold mirror cardstock
3M Dimensional tape
Sharpie fine tip pen black
Zig glue pen
     I colored the Peony and then traced all the lines of the flower to make then more defined, I did the same with the leaves.
     The background was very simple, I just layered the Washi tape over a piece of cardstock, smoothed it down, and trimmed the edges. Then I added the black glitter washi tape. For the Thank you I cut one in Gold and 5 in white, and using my Zig glue pen, glued them all together.  I needed the sentiment to be the same height as the flower.
     I used dimension tape and some glue to adhere the flower to the background. I needed the glue because the finish on the washi tape doesn't allow the dimensional tape to stick well, but a little white glue and it's perfect.

Peonies in Blue

      Friday my wonderful friend , Linda, and I had a great time together making cards and just talking. we try to get together every week. She has been such an inspiration to me through the years and I don't know what I would do without her, she's not just a friend, she's family. This card is one I created while we were together and was really quite simple, you see, I have a stash of flowers that I've stamped and fussy cut and I store them till I need to make a card quickly. I didn't really need to  make a quick card, but I wanted to try out my new embossing folder and dies. 

Supplies used:
Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp set
Altenew Coral Charm Stamp set
Altenew Create-A-Wreath dies
Altenew inks
Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large #S4-110
Cuttlebug Mosaic Embossing Folder
Fun Foam
Reflection 110 lb. card stock (Ocean pack)
Neenah bright white 65lb. card stock
JustRite #CR-04835 Black-eyed Susan (sentiment) 
Tombo liquid glue
     First I cut the oval from my 4" x 5 1/4" cardstock, then I ran it through my Cuttlebug using the Mosaic folder. I cut an oval wreath with my Altenew die set from another piece of bright white. I glued the wreath over the cut mosaic background centering on the oval cutout, and set it aside to dry. While it dried I search through my stash to find the right flowers and leaves to work with. I've been working with a lot of blues these last few days so these peonies were perfect. I placed them how I wanted them along the curve of the oval and adhered them with Tombo glue.
      I wanted dimension so I added fun foam to the back to raise it. I stamped my sentiment on a separate piece of Neenah 65# paper and adhered the two together, trimming the excess from all sides.
then I adhered the whole thing to my Ocean blue 110# card.
      A fairly simple card with a beautiful result. I hope you like it as well.
