Finally, it's time share my new creation with this month's Build-a-Flower set!
I know I said that every month, but the release is always so exciting.
Some info about this stamp/die set:
Build-A-Flower: Peony Blossom set includes 1 stamp set (15 images) and 1
coordinating die set (8 dies).
The Peony Blossom Build-A-Flower has a slightly different approach than our
conventional Build-A-Flower sets. The stamp set has three five-petal flowers
accompanied by a shading layer and a center layer. You may use these flowers as
is, or layer them to create dimension. The matching dies will cut the flowers
all the way to the edge without leaving a border.
I took a conventional approach to this stamp set.
Since I like to mail cards out , I made it mail-friendly!
I love the fact that the die cut flower can be used as its own, other than the 3D peony!! How awesome is that.
My card took a little bit a pre-planning. First, I had to decide where to position the flower.
I then made the dry-embossed print with the Tan Embossed Mat.
I then I took out the largest die and used the negative part as mask. After lightly applying ink, I adhere the layered stamped petals and arranged it accordingly. I did the same with the leaves.
I hope that you like my take on this stamp and die set.
Believe me, I have a few more versions!
And.... I have yet to try the 3D version!

Yes Virginia, I can see where this would take some pre-planning but so worth it! This is a stunning card and a fantastic set...I L♥VE peonies.
Awesome card... I love the dimension you get with the dies.
Hi, Virginia!
Using the first layer as a dry embossing layer is a great idea and tip! This certainly helps with making cards mailable :) This card is a beauty! Thanks!
Such a pretty card Virginia! I love this stamp set.
Pretty CAS card. Love how the dies cut without a white border.
Another beautiful Build-a-Flower set! Gorgeous colors and dimension on your card!
A truly lovely card. As I read your approach to this card, I realized the 'thinking' part is critical! You sure did 'think' and the result is extraordinary!
Hi Virginia - love the idea of dry embossing your first layer on the card base then adding the top layers as die cuts - very effective - beautiful card
Love your take on this set; especially like the combination of dry embossing and die cut flowers/leaves. The colors you've used are soooo pretty! Beautiful job!!
Gorgeous as always, Virginia!

So pretty - love the colors.
Very pretty. I like the colors and the embossed background.
Great idea to pre plan this card! The result is stunning! The embossed background is a wonderful touch and adds extra elegance. Gorgeous!
Always good idea to preplan I am learning, slowly. Your card is so beautiful, the fact that you still have so many other colour versions before you 3D them will mean we get to see lots more thankfully from you.

Stunning! I love the detail of the dry embossing, adds so much!

This is beautiful, Virginia! I love the paint splatters & the thread tied in a bow at the top - such a subtle but lovely addition to the card.
