Instructions: The ready card base measures 6" X 7 1/2". For the top panel, choose the pattern paper from the Sweet Peony Designer Paper Collection and cut 5 3/4" by 7 1/4". Distress the edges with the paper distressing tool and tear a little more as shown for extra interest. Cut dark pink pattern paper a little bigger than the top panel so that it can create a border all around the top panel. Layer both the papers using foam dots. Tuck in a piece of white die cut from Sweet Heart Border die as shown.
Cut 2 pieces of pattern paper measuring, 4" X 5 1/2" and 3 1/2" X 4 1/2". Create banners and distress the edges using the paper distressing tool. Mat both the banners on white cardstock, showing a little white border around. Layer both the banners using foam dots and adhere it on the left side of the ready top panel.
For flowers, stamp multiple images from the Small Sweet Peony Cling Set and Large Sweet Peony Cling Set with Archival plum. Cut them using their coordinating dies and paint them using Magenta Hue and Vibrant Fuschia. Shape the flowers inwards using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit and assemble one large, 2 medium and 5 buds. The flower centers are created using yellow thread pollens from Icraft and styrofoam buds which are painted green using archival ink leaf green. The buds have green sepals which are cut from green paper using Classic Sunflower die. The filler flowers are created using Wildwood Floral Stamp and die set. They are inked using Archival ink, Buttercup and then shaped using Deluxe flower Shaping Kit.
For leaves, the images from Classic Rose Cling Stamp set are stamped using Library Green Archival, Cut using its coordinating die and painted using Leaf Green and Olive Green. Shape them using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.
Once all the elements are ready, create a bouquet on the banners as shown and finish the card by adding a sentiment from the paper collection and add Crystal Clear Powder for extra sparkle.
