Blue Peony Wedding with Pinkfresh




Hello there!  Next week we’ll be celebrating our nephew’s graduation from the Air Force Academy, and his wedding two days later.  We have known this nephew since the day he was born and our families are close.  Our sons are groomsmen and we’re looking forward to a great celebration.  The colours of their wedding are blues and greys, so of course as cardmakers we always want to coordinate!  I pulled out the very lovely Peony Fantasy Bundle, including the Hot Foil plate, the stencil and coordinating dies, and worked with pretty blues and soft greens on white cardstock.  I added in a little coloured pencil blending in a few spots to soften the effect or deepen the blues.  Next, I also embossed some peonies in silver onto vellum using the stamp set and ink blended colour on the back of the vellum.  


I used the Braided and Rounded Rectangle Dies from Pinkfresh to form a frame for my flowers, and also used the Dotted Chevron Coverplate die on the blue cardbase for more texture.  Then it was all about arranging the flowers on the frame!   The sentiment is Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil from Spellbinders and I stacked two small sentiments together foiling them to create a little banner.  

Just a couple of silver enamel dots accent the design.  Looking forward to celebrating this delightful occasion!
