Fall Peony Bouquet

I wanted to do a fall version of the cards I created a few weeks ago, using the Lush Peony Bouquet press plate from Alex Syberia Designs.

The plate was pressed in Betterpress Black ink on regular cream cardstock.  I used Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, Abandoned Coral, Wild Honey and Rustic Hinge Distress Oxide inks and the coordinating stencils to colour the florals.

I used two frame dies from The Greetery to cut the images out, and mounted them to some warm brown cardstock with 3D foam adhesive.  A few pearls and pressed sentiments finished them off.

Ruscus

 I used the remaining portion of ink blended watercolour paper with another die from The Greetery - Ruscus (it's a type of foliage!).

This time I adhered it to a black cardstock panel, then mounted it with foam adhesive over some matte gold cardstock on a white base.

I added some irridescent pearls and a gold foiled sentiment.
