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.

The flower is made from four die cuts and then assembled.  After the individual pieces were die cut, I shaded each piece with a sponge dauber and matching ink around the outside edges.  You can see that I applied a wider strip of color to the bottom of each piece, and just a bit of color to the top edge. Then the pieces are assembled from smallest to largest, by inserting them inside the next larger piece. The pieces all align at the bottom edge which is easiest to see from the back of the flower.  I attached two glue dots to the bottom of the back of the piece to hold them in place. 

I had made seveal extra Peonies last year and had them in my stash.  These are some of the cards I made with them.  I will be posting a few more tomorrow.

I used Vellum for the the top mat that I colored using Stampin' Blends with Alcohol to color the vellum.  There are many good videos on You Tube that show the process - I suggest watching several  before trying it yourself. There is quite a learning curve.

For this first card I used:

-Bermuda Bay and Magenta Madness Blends,

-Magenta Madness CS for the bottom layer mat under the vellum,

-Magenta Madness and Coastal Cabana CS for the Peony and Leaves,

-the sentiment is from the featured set,

-and a few coordinating Enamel Shapes

For this second card I used:

-Merry Merlot and Old Olive Blends,

-Merry Merlot CS for the bottom layer mat under the vellum,

-Merry Merlot and Old Olive CS for the Peony and Leaves.

For this third card I used:

-Old Olive and Magenta Madness Blends,

-Magenta Madness CS for the bottom layer mat under the vellum,

-Magenta Madness and Old Olive CS for the Peony and Leaves,

-the sentiment is from the Floral Frames Stamp Set.

This piece of Vellum had tiny white dots on it before it was colored.

 Here are all of the cards I made using the July 2020 Paper Pumpkin Summer Nights.  All were inspired by either the kit or cards I saw on Pinterest.

These first 5 cards feature the Vellum Jar:

These three feature the Lanterns:

These 3 feature the Ferris Wheel Die Cut:
