Two for one Peonies

 My friend Esther gave me a very generous gift for Christmas, and bought the same for herself, so we decided to use our new crafty goodies to each make a project and post them together! Make sure you visit @escards on Instagram (click HERE) to see what Essie has made!

I stamped and stenciled the Billowing Peonies stamp once on a large piece of cardstock, cut it with the coordinating die, and cut it down carefully to create two cards from the one image!

Floral hello for Paper Rose

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm sharing a card I made for Paper Rose Studio.

I began with some watercolour paper. I stamped and white embossed the Blossom Bouquet clear stamp four times around the edge of the panel. I used the ink smooshing technique to add some soft colour to the background, before adding more intense colour to the flowers and leaves using watercolour pencils. I cut the Fancy Script Layered Hello die from dark pink cardstock and adhered it to the centre of the panel, and adhered the panel to a white card base.
