So today in the ways to use it challenge (WT182) Julia asked us to use up some old expensive designer paper. This paper is 3-4 years old, and I can't bear to get rid of it because it was pricey.
The heavy embossed K & Company Isabella Floral printed embossed about $2 a sheet, the base is an embossed vine cream paper and then I used Cowboy Red Gingham flat paper.
I stamped the Peony flower using Flourishes LLC Peony stamp set. I stamped it a few times, colored it in and then cut out the flower pieces and popped them up with dimmesionals, it looks really cool in person. The ribbon is Chocolate Chip satin ribbon from SU (retired)
