I am vastly happier with my second Pretty Peony card than I was with my first. This will be going to my MIL; for Mother's Day we got her a set of placemats and a table runner for her dining room, and it comes with this fancy little matching thing that holds four sets of chopsticks. We just thought that was cool and she'd like to just use it to decorate her dining table. Anyway, the stuff is artichoke and gold, so I looked for a CC with Always Artichoke
The peonies and leaves are stamped with Regal Rose and Always Artichoke, respectively; the bottom layer is stamped off once and the 2-step part is done full strength. I kinda wish I'd done the leaves facing differently but I figure I'm prolly the only one who's going to look at it that close, except for everyone who might read this part because now you'll look to see what I'm talking about I sponged Creamy Caramel very lightly on the peony panel and did the edges of it and the letters to "age" it just a little and tone down the white...I actually used Shimmery White CS so it's a little fancier. The ribbon is a pink color that SU retired, I forget which one but it matched the Regal Rose stuff pretty good IMO.
