Today I made a card that uses a stamp set I recently bought by Alex Syberia called Gorgeous Peonies AND a couple of products from the SSS "Out of This World" release, the Here For You stamp and die set and the Windswept Leaves dies. Here is an image of the stamp set:
And here is my card:
I painted a piece of watercolor paper with some Nuvo Shimmer Powders in Catherine Wheel and Cherry Bomb to create the background for the card. I then die-cut it with the SSS A2 Marquee Dies. I attached that to a white card base.
I stamped all of the images in the Alex Syberia Gorgeous Peonies stamp set with Intense Black Ink on white cardstock (with two of the large leaves). I then colored them all in with Colored Pencils. I hand cut them out since I didn't have the matching dies. There are several products that go with this stamp set including the Gorgeous Peonies Stencil, the Gorgeous Peonies Hot Foil Plate, and the Gorgeous Peonies Dies. I die-cut two sets of the SSS Windswept Leaves Dies from vellum. I arranged all of the stamped flowers and leaves along with the vellum leaves together on the card front leaving space on the top right side for the sentiment.
I embossed a sentiment from the Here For You stamp set with Leaf Green embossing powder. I have used this stamp set SO many times since I got it! I then die-cut it out with the Here For You dies. I attached that to the top right corner with foam tape behind it. Funny story - I had stamped this sentiment in black ink and embossed it with bright pink embossing powder. I attached the pink one to the card first and asked my daughter which ones she liked better, the pink or the black. She said neither, that green would look better. I didn't want to emboss another one, but I had to because I'm a perfectionist! So I did and she was right - it did look the best! I added some pearls from the Little Things From Lucy's Unicorn Mix around the sentiment.
I love mixing Simon products with other stamp sets I've purchased. This Alex Syberia Gorgeous Peonies stamp set worked out great with lots of Out Of This World release products. Thanks for visiting today! Suzy
