I just HAD to use the Peony from our Flowers for Jan set. I think it’s just gorgeous, and I was inspired to create this one because of peonies I have from my Grandma.
I started by cutting out the Silhouette cut file shapes from this set on Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock. Then I inked the flowers with Memento Desert Sand for a no-line look and coloured them up with really soft creamy Copic colours. My grandma’s peonies that I transplanted in my flower bed are just off white with these beautiful centers that are touches of burgundy. I paired the cut peonies with Flourishes Classic Kraft Cardstock cut with our Perfectly Pierced Classic Window Die, and then a fancy circle Spellbinders Die to frame that out.
As you can see I paired the design with some pretty Echo Park - Everyday Ecclectic designer paper, my all time favourite cream shimmery ribbon, some pretty petal soft ribbon that looks just like peony petals, clear sequins and shimmery facted gems.
This is what my Grandma’s - now my peonies look like, you can just see the touch of some of the burgundy tipped petals in the centre. I love having them, they are a link to my heritage, especially since my Grandma died before I was born, and I am named after her.
Here is the inside of the card. Abeautiful scripted sentiment don’t you think?
So now you can hop on over to see what the rest of our very talented Design Team has in store for you today with these sets:
Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Beautiful Peonies! I know how you feel about them. My mother passed away 12 years ago and I have three of her Peony plants growing in my yard. I look forward to spring when they bloom with such beauty! I have two rose colored and one like yours with the burgundy center. I love your card. It's a good card to send to anyone who id tired of winter! Like me!
