I love mixing colors and this time, I mixed light pink ( Pinklicious), bright pink (Magenta) and coral (Coral Berry).

For the leaves, I used Lime, Firefly and Shadow Creek. After stamping the peony and leaves, I decided to use the Layered Geo Cover Die A as stencil and inked up the upper portion of the card.

Have you ever tried using your covered dies as a stencil? It is a great ways to stretch the cover dies as they are more expensive.

For embellishments, I used the Warm & Cozy Enamel Dots as they are perfect for adding splashes of colors.

I love using cover dies for stencils & this one worked great! Beautiful flower & thanks for saying it's easy to line up. I'm to the point of not ordering layering sets without knowing if it's easy or more difficult to line up.
