Double Fun with Peonies – video

Glimmering Peonies

Hi Creative Friends,

Today I have a card design to share with you that features beautiful peony flowers in a stunning floral display. It is the Glimmering Peonies by Spellbinders.

Or, you can hot-foil and color it using your favorite medium. I chose to watercolor mine so I used hot-pressed watercolor paper.
