Hello dear friends and Happy Monday!
I am on the Studio Katia Blog today showcasing one of my favorite stamps from Studio Katia, the Japanese Peony Stamp and Coordinating Dies. Peonies are one of my favorite flowers and I can't wait to see them bloom again in my garden in the Spring.
CARD DETAILS
To begin I stamped out two flowers onto watercolor paper and then painted them in using Mijello Mission Gold watercolors. Once they were once they were dry I diecut each flower and a few extra leaves with the coordinating dies and set them aside to work on the rest of the card front.
To create a lattice like background for the flowers I cut a piece of paper that measured 4.25x 8.5 inches and then used the Halftone Dots Cover Die to die cut the panel, running it twice through the machine to create a larger panel. Before adhering the background layer to the card front, I blended out some Broken China distress oxide ink onto the card front and then glued down the lattice-like background.
To finish off the card, I glued the bottom peony onto the background and popped up the yellow peony with foam tape. The sentiment I used comes from the Birthday Greeting set and the Friend word die comes from the Spring Bouquet Die set. To add some shiny details I used glossy accents and added a few iridescent bubbles along the card front.
