A Little light relief!...

Happy Thursday,

I thought you might need something softer after yesterdays ginger spice and the darker shades I have coming up this week!

This was the first demo card I made on the One Day Special shows on Hochanda last week I hope you were able to watch it!

I used the Brand New Filigree Peony stamp for the flowers on this one which perfectly matches the perfect peony complete petals die set designed by Sue Wilson. For this I simply stamped them in watering can archival ink onto primrose foundation card and cut them out using the matching die.
I have to admit to a sneaking admiration for these stamps as I simply love the way the filigree stamps look especially stamped on coloured card as I have here with the primrose.  For these flowers I simply stamped all the 6 different sized in the set and cut them out using the matching die set.  I used 2 cut per flower and grouped them in size from the largest to the smallest to make 3 individual flower hearts.

To finish I added a 5mm white pearl in the centre and added a couple of Sue Wilson's stick pin elements along with the foliage that again comes in the stamps and die set.
Ingredients:
Creative Expressions Craft dies by Sue Wilson
Perfect peony complete petals
Portuguese collection background
Lisbon die set
Primrose and milk foundation card
Archival Watering can ink pad
Stick pin elements
Eternity A4 embossing folder

Enjoy...

    The filigree stamps are lovely and the peony dies are some I'd love to have, but I bought the camellia sets so have been resisting.

    Hi John
    Another lovely card. Love the peony stamp and the dies you've used as well.
    I also missed yesterday's card due to no internet connection in London. But I loved it. The dies look stunning in white on the darker background.

    Eh up John
    I'm guessing the Primrose is more subtle in real life but terrific design and stamps.
    Have a great day.

    Hi John,
    I enjoyed the demo and love this card, I ordered the stamp from my local craft store as I already had some of the dies in the packs on offer.
    Hoping my stamps will be in on Saturday when I go to my craft class.
    Have a great day

    Love the card, John, but have to say I'm not keen on the stamps. I prefer a more realistic look.

    Good morning John, the primrose colouring is super but I must confess I'm not keen on the stamping. I think it is the colour you have used and perhaps a lighter toning colour would not be so stark. Love from Jackie xx

    Would love this card for my yellow bedroom - so will have a go at making something similar as I don't have all the goodies you used, but have something else from Sue's collections that will be a good substitute. Will try and remember to put it on my blog when it is done.
