Peony Garden stencilled background


Another post today!  I am making cards left right and center today it seems.  This one is for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge for STAMPtember make your own background.
Another goodie that I ordered from SSS is the newish Memory Box Peony Garden stencil.  Brand new and I am also entering into Darnell's NBUS #2
So happy for all of these wonderful challenges!
 I made my background by spongeing on 3 colours, SU Pistachio Pudding, PTI Melonberry and Staz On Dove Grey.  I layered onto a Smokey Slate Card front and used Smokey Slate ink for the PTI sentiment.  The ampersand was cut twice, once in Smokey Slate and once in SU silver card stock.  I layered together, slightly offset and that is this simple wedding card. 
Thanks again for your visits,
Hugs-Chriss

  1. This is really beautiful, Chriss! It reminds me of that pretty patterned vellum paper that I used the other day. Is it on vellum paper? I see the excellent sponging, but it's also then overembossed in white for those great blooms? Wow, it's awesome and so perfect for a wedding/anniversary card. The offset hamster stand is a perfect touch, too!!

    Thank you so much for your third entry into my NBUS Challenge! I really appreciate your support! You are welcome to keep on entering if you like. Your name can only go in the hopper three times for a prize, but that doesn't mean you can't keep on linking that NBUS if you want!! Hugs, Darnell
