Peonies Blessings

 Hello,

It's my turn to share another project on the Lunar New Year Challenge blog today.  My card features the very treasured Peonies blooms.  It represents wealth and prosperity.

To make my card I first stenciled the Peonies using Waffle Flowers Postage Collage Peony Stencil set with these inks: Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Ink, Macha Tea Fresh Dye Ink, Bamboo Fresh Dye Ink.  And I applied Altenew Enchanted Gold Shimmer Relief Paste to the flower center.

Then I die cut the postage frame using Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die and Waffle Flower Postage collage Blocks Die with Gold Foiled paper.  I used a red marker to color the white spaces in between the stenciled images, then adhere the gold postage frame die cut on top.  Then I attached the red outer frame (a piece left over from previous project), and then the whole panel goes onto a card base.

Now the for focal point, the banner is cut out from a red envelope.  The best way I could explain what it means is this:  the blooming flowers bring prosperity.  If anyone of you could translate it in another way, I'd love to hear it.  

To add even more Peony goodness to the card, I made a clear Peony seal using Spellbinders Clear Seal Maker Tool and Altenew Soft Peonies Wax Seal.  I matted both banner and seal with pattern paper before I adhere them to the card front.

I hope you enjoy this card.  Will I see you at the link up party?

Shaped Card on Die Cut Divas Take 2

 Hello!!

Shaped Card is our challenge theme on Die Cut Divas Challenge Blog this October.  For my second team project, I created a 3D/box card.

I do miss the warmer days and fresh strawberries picking days.  But fear not, Pink & Main's Berry Pop Up Card Dies came to the rescue.  It was really fun making this one.

I did made a tiny boo-boo when assembling it, I glue the middle layer too close to the front and it looks a little empty in the middle.  So I added an extra layer, now my basket is more full.

Pink & Main is our sponsor this month, they are giving $25 gift card to their store as the challenge prize.

Bring out your favorite dies, make something fun and enter the challenge.  Shaped Cards is our theme, and we have included 3D/box card.  Link up post is here.  See you in the challenge gallery.

Happy crafting!!
