PTI April Blog Hop - Inlaid Peony


Inlaid Peony

This month's theme was pink and navy.  I love this PTI coverplate of a peony.  I've used it several times with watercolor, but this time I thought I would use navy cardstock as the background, then add the white cutout from the coverplace and then inlay two shades of pink cardstock.  I love the dramatic design!  It seemed anti-climatic to add a sentiment, though maybe a tiny one in the left corner would work.  My friend Betty has more than 30 peony bushes in her yard, and when they come into bloom, I get to take home the most wonderous and fragrant bunches of these luscious flowers!


Die:  PTI Peony coverplate
Cardstock:  Enchanted Evening, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Select White (all PTI)
Embellishments:  PTI rainstones
