Peony Hugs – Unity Stamp Company

Happy Sunday crafty friends! I hope you are having a good weekend! I have been able to start working in my garden which is one of my other loves! It feels so good! I am actually headed back outside shortly! Today I am sharing another card design using the Peony Hugs – Unity Stamp Company. I LOVE this set! The gorgeous full blooms are amazing and is designed by artist Graciellie Designs! This gorgeous set is still on SALE today – you can find it here, as well as here is a link to the amazing flash sale from this weekend! I am truly grateful if you use my affiliate link! Thank you!

I started by stamping my image on kraft card stock. I love kraft paper and the rustic vibe it has! If you saw my home, you would know I love the country/rustic vibe! I wanted to use colored pencils for my coloring today. I used a variety of shades of yellow, deep orange, and a deep brown on the flowers, along with white. I always start from the lightest shade and work my way to the darkest. For my leaves I used a light green, dark green, a teal, as well as a little yellow in some areas. I really let my pencils do most of the work as far as the shading, in a couple sports I may have pushed to hard.

I then used my brother scan and cut to cut my peony image. I set this aside. I then chose the same kraft for a card panel. I used a combination of white, gold, and black splatters. I then used a hero arts rectangle die to cut the outer edge of the kraft and a Gina Marie designs die to add the dot details to the inner portion of the card panel. I adhered the panel to a brown card base (Recollections 120 lb paper). I used foam adhesive to adhere my floral image and I used all 3 sentiments from this beautiful set. I adhered them in various spots on my card panel. I then added 3 Nuvo drops in black.

I hope you enjoy this card! If you love this gorgeous set I encurage you to add it to your cart today! Have a wonderful weekend! I truly appreciate your time and your encouragement!

Hi everyone! I am stopping in with a quick blog post….I was so excited to share with you that Unity Stamp Company has released the beautiful Peony Hugs from the artsit Graciellie Designs into a red rubber stamp! This stamp is so beautiful! I couldn’t wait to make a card! Unity Stamp Company is also hosting an amazing weekend flash and inventory sale! You can see it here. If you are inspired by my card, I would greatly appreciate you using my affiliate links! Thank you so much!

I stamped 2 images using the beautiful peony cluster. I used Canson Mixed Media paper. This is a light weight paper, but I knew I was going to do a light wash of color, so I knew it would be ok. I used distress inks to watercolor my peonies. I used picked raspberry and evergreen bough. I did each color twice. I used a very light hand on my coloring, this is different for me. I wanted to create a subtle, but very beautiful floral image. What do you think?

Once my watercoloring had dried, I used my scan and cut to trim these images. I then set them aside and aslo under heavy books for the night. I used a Gina Marie Designs background die. I love this die. I cut it in black cardstock and adhered this to my panel. The next day I added some gold splatters to my flowers. I played with a few different layouts, but once I was happy, I adhered them with foam tape to my card. I added my sentiment and a few sequins and my card was complete!

I am so excited about this beautiful stamp being released in red rubber, Peony Hugs! Its truly stunning and if you agree, visit my links! Be sure to check out the amazing flash sales – here !

Have a great night! Crafty Hugs,

I started by printed the floral frame on Neenh 80lb card stock. I wanted to use alcohol markers for this image and work on my coloring with these markers. I am beginning to truly love alcohol markers and now I want more markers! For todays card I used my Altenew artist markers. I am happy to share the colors I used if this interest you! I had fun coloring this beautiful stamp! I felt this stamp was so beautiful I wanted to create a 1 layer card this time and have the florals and coloring be the focal point of my card!

Once my coloring was complete I used my arteza colored pencils to add more depth to the nooks and crannies! I love this so much because it truly changes my coloring! I added shades of a dark purple and deep blue to the corners! Once my coloring was complete I used a Gina Marie Designs die cut and then adhered the panel to a black card base.
