-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now onto my card!  I used all of the gorgeous layers for the flowers and leaves and added them to an embossed background.  Read on for the details!

First I stamped the beautiful layers of the Tree Peony flower and leaves.  I used inks from the Red Sunset ink cube set for the flower.  For the leaves I used Green Fields ink cube set.  Then I cut them out with the Tree Peony coordinating dies.  The flower centers are inks from the Golden Sunset ink cube set.

Next I created a dimensional background for the gorgeous florals!  I used coordinating card stock from my stash and embossed it with the amazing Beautiful Baroque 3D embossing folder.  Next I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼".  To add some shimmery fun to the embossed piece, I gently swiped the Enchanting Gold Pigment ink pad over the raised areas.  (I wish I could capture the beautiful shimmer in my photos!)  Then I added some metallic gold and white spatters.  When the spatters were dry, I adhered the panel to a top-folding A2 card base.

I used one of the sentiments included in the set and stamped it in black ink.  Then I trimmed it into a banner shape.  I added foam tape to the back of the flower, one leaf, and the sentiment and adhered them to the card front.

I honestly do not know how Altenew continues to create so many beautiful floral sets!  I love this Build-A-Flower: Tree Peony set and it will be in my favorites for sure!  Be sure to leave a comment to qualify for a chance to win!
