Card of the Day - Prized Peony Birthday

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a friend who is celebrating a special birthday this week (you know, one that ends in 5). A few months ago, she was waffling on whether or not to order the peony set and I kind of convinced her that she needed it, so I had to use mine to make her card!


I've made a few cards with this set but this was the first time I've made the die-cut flower. It seems daunting, but goes together really easily. A bit of sponging on the Shimmery White Cardstock gives it dimension without being too overbearing. All in all, I'm happy with the result!




I'm hoping to hand deliver this card with a little bundtlet from Nothing Bundt Cakes - her favorite!

This card was also inspired by the birthday challenge at SUO Challenges.


Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
