STAMPIN' UP! PRIZED PEONY CARD FOR PP505

It is a few YEARS since I joined in an online card challenge.  The current sketch challenge at The Paper Players has broken the drought!  I really like this layout:

I instantly thought of the beautiful Peony Garden papers, and adhered three of the different patterned pieces to a Whisper White panel.  The top right panel is a Petal Pink subtly flecked paper that reminds me of musk lollies ... anyone else, in Australia/New Zealand?  I have used Petal Pink ink, and second-generation stamping, to stamp peonies over that piece.  After I'd mounted all three paper pieces to some card, I embossed the panel with my Subtle 3D embossing folder.

You can see the stamping on the DSP, and the added texture, a bit better here:

The sentiment panel is a piece of Whisper White card, cut using the Switched So Sweetly dies.  I subtly stamped the diamond-pattern stamp, from Prized Peony, in Petal Pink ink, after stamping off onto scrap paper first each time I inked it.  I then stamped the words in Gray Granite ink.

I really enjoyed working with a different layout to my tried and true "norms".  Especially with so much extra time in my craft room these days (we're in lockdown in Melbourne, until mid-September), I think I need to start participating in some more challenges, to think outside the box, creatively.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop in my online store, just click on any of the thumbnail images below.

**ETA:  I found this image online, of musk lollies, for my overseas friends.  They are a pink "candy" (we call them lollies or sweets) with subtle flecks of lighter pink or white:
