My card today has used the following products:-

Peony Blossoms BetterPress Plates (NEW!)

Essential Sentiments Press Plate (NEW!)

Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set

I used a die from the Good Day die set to create a smaller than A2 white panel with a decorative edge. I glued this panel to a white A2 card base.

I hot foiled using the Peony Blossoms press plate instead of using the BetterPress (remember, press plates do both)! I used gold foil and then used Copic markers in RV04, RV02, RV00, RV000, Y00 and Y000 to colour the blooms, inspired by some peonies in our own garden. Leaves were coloured with YG67, YG13 and YG11.

I fussy cut the image and backed it with foam tape and applied to the white background.

I hot foiled the Essential Sentiments all in one go so that I had this sentiment and all of the others for future projects. I used a holographic gold for a little dazzle to do this and the set comes with a coordinating die ... who doesn't like die cutting their sentiments beautifully? I applied the sentiment with more foam tape and a few flat cup gold sequins were adhered to complete the floral design.

I'll be back on Friday July 4th with a second card using products from the release. The Design Team will be holding an Instagram Hop that day with lots of inspiration.
