Budding Peonies

I am so in love with the Budding Peony Stamp Set! I promise to move onto other stamp sets soon! I created this fun color combo for the Color Challenge at The Paper Players. I admit, I struggled a bit…without green leaves…but think all the shades of gray work well together!  My pop of Raspberry keeps is from becoming dreary!

I arranged all of my elements based on the fun Sketch Challenge at Freshly Made Sketches! You really have to stop by the blog and see all of the Design Team creations…..great interpretations of the sketch!

I used my stitched rectangle frame to ground my peony die cut as part of the sketch design.  I popped up my peony die cut for extra dimension, while gluing the extra leaves direct to the background paper.  My images is colored with Copics.  I could not resist adding in a tiny bit of bling below my sentiment.
