Hi Creative Friends,

Hi Creative Friends,
I am having so much fun making cards using the few new background dies from Penny Black. You have seen me feature the All In One Oval, and there is the All In One Ocatgon too. But today I am using another favorite, Frame It and a wonderful floral stamp, Pansies, all from Penny Black.
Hi Creative Friends,
Today I am sharing a very simple but elegant card design using the beautiful Purity stamp by Penny Black. I love the graceful bending spray of orchids and its utter simplicity!
Hi Creative Friends,
You might think I am obsessed with peonies, and in a way I am. The peony flower is so beautiful and they create gorgeous floral displays like this one in the Spellbinders Peony Background press plate. I am also in love with the BetterPress letterpress system by Spellbinders! It creates a deep, crisp, impressed image, I think it looks so luxurious!
I have created a video showing you two ways to use this beautiful background (see below).
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.
You can hot-foil this floral spray in any color you like and get different looks just by varying the cardstock and the hot-foil color. For a super fast card, just hot-foil on colored cardstock. Or, you can hot-foil and color it using your favorite medium. I chose to watercolor mine so I used hot-pressed watercolor paper.
