Bursting in Plum and Peonies by Bobbi Lemanski

The "Perfect Peonies" and a simple “thinking of you” sentiment can bring a smile and comfort to a friend in need. The rich plum tones mixed with delicate pink petals add depth and sophistication, making this card perfect for sending love, encouragement, or a thoughtful note to someone special. I'm using the following Honey Bee Stamps products:

For the basics... my Honey Bee Stamps featured project below is made from Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock for the card base and card front panel. All of the black ink stamping was done using Honey Bee’s Bee Creative Intense Black Ink. I use Honey Bee Stamps Bee Creative Precision Glue and for when I want more dimension, Bee Creative Foam Dots With Tab for adhering my elements together. My blender brushes (large and small) are a must for ink blending color on the background, too. For white highlights, I use my white acrylic pen. My card is 5" X 7" in size.

To make this 5" x 7" card, I stamped the longer floral bouquet from the Perfect Peonies stamp set in a dark green and then again in a dark brown/plum ink color. I die cut both of the stamped florals. I also stamped the singular floral bouquet in black on white cardstock and die cut it, too. For the singular flower, I colored the bouquet using the following Copic Markers: RV69, RV55, RV93, RV34, V91, YG67, YG63, YG61, YG25, YG03, Y19, and YR23. Check out my reel where I show how I colored it. I also used my white acrylic pen to add center stamens / highlights. 

To create the background, I used two pattern papers from the Garden Party Paper Pack. I attached them to the background. I layered the larger floral swags over the patterned paper and layered the single floral bouquet over the two using foam tabs to make it stand out. I stamped, die cut and attached the "Thinking of you" sentiment in the lower right corner. Lastly, I added rhinestones around the florals and attached the front panel to the card base to complete the card. Here's a link to my reel.
