A Fuchsia Celebration

Good morning everyone!  I'm here this morning to share another card using the Sweet Peony collection from Heartfelt Creations!  This is one of my favorites and I actually grow these in my yard!  Yesterday Spring came to East Tennessee and today we are back to winter and snow.  Just a light dusting but cold temps as well.  I'm so ready for warm temps and Peony blooms but until that happens I will settle for these gracing my card fronts!

Instructions: My card size is 5 x 7". Make card base and then emboss the pink cardstock and glue it down. Cut the medallion out of white cardstock and glue it down to the card front. Stamp the Peony flowers with the Berrylicious Ink and color them with this color as well. Stamp the daisies in Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and stamp the leaves with Olive Green Stazon Ink. Color with various inks and then cut everything out.

Run the petals through the mold and shape the flowers, then add the flower soft to the center of the daisies and set aside to dry. Once all the flowers are dry, decide where you want them over the medallion and glue them down. Pick a sentiment from the paper collection and use dimensional tape to adhere to card front. Glue a half pearl over the sentiment tag.
