Welcome to the Crafty Bloggers hop. I am part of an amazing group of demonstrators from all around the world. We will be showcasing some of the wonderful products which can found in our suite of catalogues. Today we are hopping using with Curvy Celebrations suite as our theme.
The Curvy Celebration bundle features in the Jan – June 2021 Mini Catalogue but thank fully is available right now on early release. I love combining my dies with other stamp sets so chose to use the Curvy dies with the Prized Peony Stamp set
Simple backgrounds with Curvy Celebrations
So, for my card, I pulled out my Granite Grey card stock and created a card base. I grabbed some of the stunning papers from the Peony Garden Designer Series Papers and die cut them with the stunning Curvy Dies.
I then took a final piece of whisper white cut it with the curvy die and then stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink. Next I embossed the whole piece using my go to Subtle embossing folder.
Before adding to the card base add a piece of the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon, with a small knot.
To colour the Peony I stamp the beautiful image onto a piece of Melon Mambo card using Merry Merlot Ink. Then add some shading using the Melon Mambo blends and a touch of Dark Cherry Cobbler for really deep shading. Stamping and colouring on coloured cardstock is a really simple way to add a pop of colour to any project,
Once coloured add to the finished card with some Dimensional’s and a couple of die cut sprigs from the curvy dies for added interest

I loved this project so much I decided to recreate it in Petal pink.
This gives a much softer colour scheme, but is still really pretty.
