Remembering Velma with Prized Peony

Some years ago, my friend Velma, grew the most amazing peonies!  I absolutely loved them when the morning dew glistened on them, or when they stood out proud and happy against a bright blue sky.  There were several flower beds of these peonies, and my daughters and I though they were the most romantic flower ever.  As our friend aged and she needed to move, I was given the opportunity to collect some of the peonies and plant them in my garden.  Eventually, as my daughters had their own homes, they received their share of the peonies as well.  

Those peonies were the inspiration for this card.  When the new 2021-2023 In- Colors were introduced, I knew immediately that Polished Pink was going to make a PERFECT match to those peonies that I loved so much.  The Polished Pink ink will be available to purchase on May 4th.  Everything else is current product available for purchase now.

Here are the details to help you recreate this card:

• This card is a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" with a top fold.
• DSP is 4" x 5 1/4" - Hint: I used daubers and Early Espresso ink to cover the white cut edge of the paper
• I used regular weight Basic White card stock for the flowers
• I cut apart 1vellum doily as a nod to the lace doilies that Velma had throughout her home.
