Guest Post - Peony Dreams by Bianca Van Noort

This week's guest post is from Bianca Van Noort, who designed two versions of the same card. We liked them both and knew you would too so I shall hand it over to Bianca.

I'm really honoured to be guest designer with you so I made two separate cards using the same stamp and layout only different colours.

Peony Dreams 1

 

At first I sponged the background with Distress ink Old Paper. Next I used the stencil Damask and sponged it with Old Paper. Then I stamped the Chocolate Baroque Peony with Archival black, masked the flower and stamped again.

I colored the flowers with Distress colors Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves and Crushed Olive.Then I took the stencil Harlequin and sponged it with Picked Raspberry. The text came from Key to My Dreams and was stamped with Archival black.

To finish I stuck with some glue on to a slightly larger piece of black paper. The folded base of this card was sponged with Old Paper and the Harlequin stencil was inked on the edge with Picked Raspberry.

Peony Dreams 2

At first I sponged the background with Distress ink Old Paper. Next I used the stencil Damask and sponged it with Old Paper. Then I stamped the Chocolate Baroque Peony several times with Archival black.

I colored the flowers with Distress colors Rusty Hinge, Seedless Preserves and Crushed Olive. Then I took the stencil Cell Theory and sponged it with Rusty Hinge.The text came from Key to My Dreams and was stamped with black Archival.

To finish I stuck with some glue on to a slightly larger piece of yellow paper. The folded base of this card was sponged with Old Paper and the edge was inked with Rusty Hinge using the stencil Cell Theory.

I hope you like them.
