Hello everyone. Taking a break from pinks / purples / Valentine to create a simple hello card featuring the beautiful Luxe Peony die from the current 2023 Valentine’s collection. The color may or may not have been influenced by blue Monday two days ago. 🤷🏻♀️😂
The peony layers and leaves were die cut from white cardstock. The petal layers were ink blended with light blue dye ink using a finger blending brush, while the leaves were colored with FB2 Copic Sketch marker. The ink blending ended up being too faint, so used light blue Copic Sketch markers to give it more contrast. Glued the peony layers together, then spritz with a shimmer spray for some sparkle (couldn’t capture it in the photos).
A heart aperture was then die cut from white woodgrain paper with the Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out die. Die cut the sentiment from black and white cardstock, then assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.
And that’s it for my card. Thank you for joining me today. Have a wonderful day.
