Thank You Peonies

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday! I’ve popped in this morning with another awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share! This pretty thank you card features a tone-on-tone background with peonies die cut from our Basis cardstock in rich colors of red, gold, teal and dark purple! The Basis line is one of my favorites!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Basis Natural 110# cardstock. Next, I die cut the background from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock using the Dare 2B Artzy Leaf Background die. Using the Simon Says Stamp Etched Peony Blossom die, I die cut peonies from Basis Red, Basis Gold, Basis Teal and Basis Dark Purple, adhered them to the card front (trimming the edges as needed) and then adhered the panel to the card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Kat Scrappiness Friendship Greetings stamp set in Memento Elderberry ink, fussy cut the outline, and adhered it to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones (colored with an ivory alcohol marker) from an Eyelet Outlet 3mm clear Jewel Bling Strip.

I cut the inside panel from Baronial ivory and embellished it with strips cut from Basis Dark Purple and Basis Teal along with a leftover piece of a die cut peony used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the same Kat Scrappiness Friendship Greetings stamp set in Memento Elderberry ink and layered the panel on teal cardstock.
