I made today’s card using products from the Peony Garden Suite: Prized Peony Bundle (Prized Peony stamp set and Peony Dies,) Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, and Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon. I wanted the flower to pop, so I made it in Melon Mambo instead of the Petal Pink in the paper. And I colored 3 pearls with a Dark Black Stampin’ Blends Marker to scatter around the flower.
