These cards feature the Peony Dies from the Prized Peony Bundle from Stampin' Up!  I did several posts last year (Sept. 15, 16, 17 & 19 of 2020) if you would like to see more cards made using the Peony featured in this Die Set. It is very unique, I just love the way the flower "pops" on the card.

I also posted 3 additional cards yesterday - so take a look at that post for basics on how the peony is made.

These first two cards were made similarly, the 3 peonies on each were made and then simply attached to a piece of Coordinating colored top mat of DSP,  that was layered on a bottom mat of Coordinating Cardstock.

-The peony on this first card was cut from Wisteria Wonder CS and the edges and center piece were colored with Wisteria Wonder Ink.
-The leaves were cut from Old Olive CS and the edges colored with Old Olive Ink.
-The bottom mat was cut from Wisteria Wonder CS.
-The next was "carefully" embossed on a piece of Vellum using the Dainty Diamond embossing folder.
-The feature mat on the top was cut from Mossy Meadow CS.
-Lastly I added a few Iridescent Pearls.


-The peony on this second card was cut from Vellum and then the petals were colored on the back of the pieces with the Real Red Stampin' Blends.
-The leaves were also cut from vellum and coloed with the Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends.
-The top featured mat was cut from a piece of Peony Garden DSP and mounted as shown on a bottom mat cut from Real Red CS.
-I added two pieces of Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon as shown.
-Lastly a few coordinating Enamel Shapes.



-The peonies of this third card were cut from White CS, and the edges were colored with Wisteria Wonder, Mint Macaron, and Balmy Blue Inks.
-The flower centers were cut from scraps of the same color CS.
-The top mat was cut from a piece of Perennial Essence DSP.
-The bottom Mat was cut from Wisteria Wonder CS.




-The peonies on this last card were cut from So Saffron, Poppy Parade, and Balmy Blue CS and the edges and the white Peony ccnters were colored with the coordinating inks.
-The top mat was cut from a piece of See a Silhouette DSP.
-The bottom mat was cut from Pacific Point CS.
