Pretty Peonies

Hey stampers, Anni here!

Today I am sharing two simple cards featuring Mama Elephant’s Pretty Peonies.

I started by stamping the flowers with embossing ink on watercolour cardstock and heat embossing it with white embossing powder.  For the colouring I used ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens and a waterbrush. Then I fussy cut out the images.

I wanted to create a clean and simple card and let the flowers stand for their own. So I asked myself: What could I add to make the card more interesting without taking the focus from the flowers? I decided to go with decorated rectangle die cuts. Reverse Confetti’s Lacy Scallop Frame dies are perfect for this. I die cut the rectangles from white cardstock and matted them with matching coloured cardstock.

For the sentiments I chose simple ones from Lawn Fawn. One is from the set Tiny Tags Saying: Birthday and the other one is from the set: Happy Happy Happy.

Both cards took something around 1,5 hours what is fairly quick for me – I am a real slow time crafter- and I had fun making them!

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty weekend.

Pretty Peonies Treat Boxes

Hey stampers, Anni here!

This week again I had the pleasure to meet some crafty friends. And of course if you meet crafty friends you need some crafty gifts. So I made little gift boxes. I used a die by Lawn Fawn called Scalloped Treat Box - as I told you before: one of my favorites. I die cut it from cardstock.

 

For the decoration I stamped some of Mama Elephant's Pretty Peonies and embossed them in white on watercolor paper. For the colouring I used ZIG Clean Colour Real Brush pens. I just added colour to the edges of every petal and let the water do the work. Then I fussy cut the peonies.

For the sentiment I die cut a label included in Lawn Fawn's Fancy Box die set and stamped one of the messages from the Mini Messages by Mama Elephant on it and embossed it in white.

Thanks for stopping by and have great weekend.
