For more tips on creating with the Sweet Peony collection, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/L9_MLkvpGPQ.

Instructions:

For Card Base: Card base is 5x7" on white card. Stamp out one large blossom and 2 small blossoms from the Peony Bud and Blossom Cling stamp using versa mark ink onto Canson watercolor paper. Apply a coat of white embossing powders and heat set. Do this to all three.

Using your Zig Clean Color Brush Markers color all three images using the colors mentioned. I placed yellow in the centers first then went from lightest to darkest, blending out with my water brush. The dark red I only needed to add very small amounts to the tops of the petals. I kept paper towel close to dab off excess color.

Once you are happy with your coloring set aside to dry. In mean time cut a 4.75 x 6.75" on Canson water color paper, tape off edges with blue painters tape. I did this to create a border. Take the Antique Linen distress marker and using the brush end go around the taped edge and create a thick line. Take your water brush and blend this edge out to the center.

Check your colored images and make sure they are dry; die cut these out using the coordinating die set. Set on taped off card to get an idea where you would like them to go. Use the antique Linen marker in the area where the cluster of peonies will go and add some shadow, blend out edges to smoothe the line. Heat set to dry.

Using the small peony bud image stamp in three random areas on outside edge with versa mark ink and apply white embossing powder; shake off excess and heat set. Place down colored images again to decide where you would like your sentiment to go and stamp with black tuxedo ink. Place large peony down first and tuck in one of the smaller ones in bottom left. I decided to place the second smaller peony on lower right corner and trimmed off the edge. I went over the peonies with wink of stella clear. Attach to card base.

Instructions: Card size: 5" X 5 1/2". Start by cutting folded ivory card with the Decorative Oval, leaving top 1/2" of die off the top of the fold. Cut another decorative Oval out of decorative paper and glue to front side of shaped card base. Cut Decorative medallion base layer out of magenta and one from Ivory. Cut the decorative Medallion from decorative paper (medium pink) and from ivory, this will be the "stand" for the card. To make the card sturdier I cut a piece of acetate and glued it to the back of the card over the oval. I also cut a piece of decorative paper to cover the back inside oval as well (both are glued to the back of the card). The paper can be seen from the front of the card so choose something pretty. Glue the "stands" on and make sure they are level so that the card sits properly.

Stamp sentiment with Lilac Posies (a dark pink or magenta ink) on light pink decorative paper then die cut with an oval die. Die cut a dark pink oval for a mat and glue to sentiment then glue to the front of the card, centering. Now stamp and die cut Peony Bud and Bloom twice each then color.

To make the flowers use the stamps and dies for the Sweet Peonies, stamp using the Archival inks and white card-stock. Bring color to the stamped flower petals and leaves with the 3D stamping inks. This will give a beautiful metallic sheen to your flowers. Taking the Crop-a-dile, make a small hole in the center of each petal. Using the flower shaping molds bring shape to the petals. The rose flower-shaping mold was used for the peonies. The yellow stamens are used for the peony centers. Thread the stamens through the holes as you stack the flower petal layers. See the video to see how this is done. Use the clear drying glue to apply the glitter to the flower petals and leaf veins. To decorate the card front flap, make a triple bow from the ribbon with aid of the Zutter bow maker. Adhere this to the front flap.

Arrange the flowers in a cluster tucking the peony buds and leaves under the bow and flowers and adhere. Once all the embellishments are secured to the card front flap adhere the sentiment to the top of the flowers with the hot glue gun. Using the white card stock, stamp the 'Praying For You' with the maroon ink, then heat set with the clear embossing powder. Die cut the sentiment with the matching die.

Instructions: To make this 5" x 6" card start by taking a piece of orange card stock that measures 5" x 12" and score at the 6" mark. Cover the front of the card in a piece of paper from the Sweet Peony Paper Collection that measures 4 3/4" x 5 3/4" and layer another piece of ivory card stock with the same measurements on the inside. I wanted the large flower image to extend off the page by having only part of the image die cut. To do this you need to place only the portion that you want die cut between the cutting plates of your die cutting machine. Only the portion of the die between the plates will cut leaving the remainder uncut.

The Peony flowers were stamped on white card stock using VersaMark and heat embossed with Tea Rose Embossing Powder before die cutting with the matching die and distressed with Orange Blossom ink. After the flowers were distressed they were shaped with the 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold and the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit before accenting the centers with Stamens.
