Peonies and Kindness

Today I decided to make a card for three different challenges - the first is the Featured Stamper challenge, the honour this week going to Cathy (aka Mutnik).  I chose her Two Step Stamping Flowers card to case.  I kept the layout, flower theme and overall pink feel and added a sentiment, ribbon, punching, different paper, image and pearls.  The other challenges are this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge to create a Spring Card and the JustRite Stampers challenge to mix and match your stamps!  I used the peonies from Beautiful Blossoms, the border from Breath of Spring and the sentiment from Joyful Hearts!!!  There is an awesome Spellbinders prize up for grabs with the JustRite Challenge too so head on over to the JustRite Inspiration Blog for details!!!

I started with a base of white and layered with aqua bazzill, light pink bazzill and some MME DSP, on which I stamped the sentiment from Joyful Hearts.  The next panel is more white punched with a scallop border punch and layered with more MME DSP.  Around this I attached some 1/2" white satin ribbon.  The main panel has been stamped using the peonies from Beautiful Blossoms and the border from Breath of Spring and coloured with markers and a blender pen.  I cut this out using the Lg Oval Nesties and matted with pink bazzill cut using the Label 10 Nesties and popped the panel up on foam tape.  To finish I added a bow and button to the ribbon and some Kaisercraft Snow Pearls to the bottom corner.
