Peony Sympathy ~ #TGIFC274

Happy Friday friends!

We're getting scrappy over at TGIF Challenges...with our paper scraps!  I don't know about you, but I have more scraps than I know what to do with most days, so this was a great challenge to use some of them up!

I held a card class earlier this month and introduced the Peony Garden Suite.  We used a few different patterns of the Peony Garden DSP, which left me with several small scraps.  I happily put them to use to create a background for this beautiful 3D peony blossom.


I was a little intimidated by the Peony dies at first, but as soon as I cut all of the pieces out, I found that they were super easy to assemble to create a gorgeous flower.  I curled the edges up just a bit and sponged a little Petal Pink around the edges to add even more dimension.
I decided to use almost everything from this suite by adding a Dainty Diamonds 3D embossed piece of Whisper White, a little bit of Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and a few little Elegant Faceted Gems.  

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Basic Gray, Whisper White, Petal Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Peony Garden DSP
Ink ~ Basic Gray, Petal Pink
Stamp Set ~ Prized Peony
Other Supplies ~ Elegant Faceted Gems, Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon, Tasteful Labels Dies

Now it's your turn!  Let's see you put your pile of scraps to use and play along this week.

Happy Stamping!

Peony Thoughts ~ Monday Montage



Welcome to an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won't want to miss a single creation from this amazing group of stampers!
Hello from Utah!  It took us two days of travel, but we made it to Rockville, UT to hang out with our very own Wend Weixler! I am so excited to spend a few days with her exploring Zion!  Hopefully we will get in a little stamping time together as well!
I got a new box of stamps and paper a couple days before we left and had just enough time to put this beauty together.  When I saw the Peony Garden suite, I knew it was one that I had to have.  I LOVE peonies...so much that I just planted two more in my yard this year!

The subtle colors in the Peony Garden DSP are gorgeous.  I chose two of the Smoky Slate patterns of DSP to layer, then added the largest peony image colored in Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam for just the right amount of soft color.   
 
The Elegant Faceted Gems provided just the right amount of bing.  I can already tell I will be needing more of these elegant embellishments!

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Basic Gray, Peony Garden DSP
Ink ~ Basic Gray, Memento, Stampin' Blends:  Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam
Stamp Set ~ Prized Peony
Other Supplies ~ Peony Dies, Elegant Faceted Gems

Thanks for stopping by today!  Now, on to the next stop on the hop!

Happy Stamping!
