Simply make

1 Stamp the peony stamps

twice in grey ink across the

bottom-right corner of a

panel of white cardstock.

Stamp again onto a piece

of copy paper and cut out

masks for them.

2 Cover the stamped peonies

with the masks and gently

blend Fossilized Amber and

Spun Sugar Distress Oxide

Ink onto the panel.

3 Blend in from opposite

corners of the panel, letting

the colour fade out towards

the centre. Remove the

masks to reveal the white

 owers, then layer the

panel onto grey cardstock.

4 Stamp the peony for a third

time on a separate piece

of white cardstock and

die-cut. Add shading and

depth to all three of the

 owers and leaves with a

grey pencil before mounting

the die-cut peony over the

top using 3D foam pads.

5 Stamp and heat-emboss

the ‘THINKING OF YOU’

sentiment onto a piece

of dark grey cardstock, trim

and cut it out. Adhere as

shown and add mini

enamel hearts as a

 nal embellishment.

2 Stamp the outline peony onto

a panel of white cardstock

which has been cut slightly

narrower than the front of an

A6 card blank.

3 Cover that  ower with a mask

and stamp again, repeat

over the whole card front,

overlapping the  ower images

as you go. Move the  ower

around slightly so that they

are not all pointing in the

same direction.

4 Die-cut a heart from the

bottom-right side of the

stamped panel and colour

the  oral images on the

die-cut heart.

5 Cut the same heart several

more times from dark grey

cardstock, layer together

and add the coloured  oral

heart on top.

6 Add a strip of Washi tape

down the left-hand side of

the card front and adhere

the stamped card front on

top of that. Drop the die-cut

heart back into the aperture

that it created. It will be

lifted up by the cardstock

layers underneath.

7 Stamp and heat-emboss the

sentiment onto a piece of

dark grey cardstock and die-cut

with a smaller heart die and

adhere onto the card front.

Try keeping your flowers monochrome and

adding colour to the background instead
