Introducing:

Timeless Peonies

Painted Peonies

Delicate Polka Dots

 Pink Cosmo Twist Mix

For my card today I stamped the beautiful new Timeless Peonies.  This layered stamp set is pretty awesome.  I have never worked with anything quite like it.  I found the easiest way to stamp this set is from the outside in.  That means I started by stamping the background first, in a beautiful shade of Crystal Pewter gray.  Then I stamped the leaves using
The Ton's Soft Garden and Bright Fern.  I saved the layered peonies for last and they lined up beautifully.  One thing I do want to mention is that this design is very forgiving.  If you slip up and your stamping is off a little,  you won't even notice when your piece is finished.  You achieve a beautiful background print, customized with the colors you choose.   I used Rose Quartz, Soft Garnet and Red Sangria for my peonies.

This would have been a beautiful one layer background on it's own but I decided to bump it up a notch by die cutting some of The Ton's  Double Stitched Rectangles (Large).  I stamped the front of the folded card base with the new Delicate Polka Dots rubber cling background stamp.  Then I glued the outside of the floral piece onto the front of the card. The next piece I bumped up with a little dimension tape then added a sentiment from the new Painted Peonies stamp set.  After I finished this card I realized that it would make a beautiful shaker card. Darn it!  Too late.   Instead, I just glued down a whole bunch of the new Pink Cosmo Twist Mix inside the little sentiment window to make a faux shaker card.  It almost looks like a real shaker!
