Another die with a big impact-the Flower Garden Cover Plate Die! I colored the white die cut with my Copics, then used pink sequins for the flower centers-it's really pretty in real life. The sentiment is from Spellbinders Natures Botanical Garden Sentiments, a Betterpress plate

 I've had this Hero Arts "Peonies" for a long time, and had never used it? Why? I just found it! And since it is retired, it can be found on some reseller platforms. But Hero Arts does have this peony set now-the Peonies Bunch Stamp & Cut-and they have the matching stencils! This card was super simple to assemble after I had colored the leaves and flowers. The background paper was out of a DCWV Alphabet pad with bright pink solid cardstock at the edges. I hadn't colored with my Copics for a while, but I would definitely pick a different dark pink if given a do-over. Oh well.
