This is my card for CC652. Barbara is our hostess and she has chosen berry burst, pink pirouette and lost lagoon. Dessert Option this week is dimension.
I used the peony bouquet stamp set from Altenew to create my sample this week. This is a 3 step stamping set.
My first layer is stamped in pink pirouette. To get the color depth on the flower for the 2nd & 3rd layers, I stamped off 1x with the berry burst and then the 3rd layer I stamped full strength.
For the leaves, I repeated this same process with lost lagoon ink.
I die cut one of my peony flowers and popped it up on my card. To complete my card I stamped my birthday sentiment on a flag.
Hope you can play along with us this week. Barbara has chosen some great colors and the DT has lots of great samples to get your creativity flowing.

Ah, Mary, what a stunning card! That set is one of my favorites. I love the way you used this week's colors, love the layout, love the popped-up flower, and the way you've set the banner slightly over the edge of the card. Love this!

Mary what a wonderful card. I love how you used the colors. Your layout is Devine. I like the banner in the darker color. The depth you've achieved by multiple inkings and fussy cutting are gorgeous.
