Always and Forever card

When thinking about summer, weddings often come to mind and these two cards turned out beautifully and would be very suitable for wedding or anniversary or even a sympathy card.  What I love most about both of these cards is they were quick and easy to make.
 This card was created using a Whisper White card base layered with a Petal Pink panel that was adhered with Seal+ adhesive.  The top panel was a combination of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper(DSP) and Vellum cardstock.  
The sentiment is from the Forever Blossoms stamp set and was stamped on both the Peony Garden DSP and the Vellum cardstock using Basic Gray ink.  The Vellum was adhered onto the Peony Garden DSP, making sure the sentiments lined up, using Seal+ adhesive applied in the flower and sentiment area.  
The peony was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto Whisper White cardstock and colored with light and dark Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends and then cut out using the coordinating die from the Peony Dies.  
The Peony was adhered to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.  
Frosted Elegant Faceted Gems were placed around the 
Peony for the finishing touch.
This card was made using a Whisper White card base, followed with a So Saffron panel and lastly a Whisper White front panel.  The Whisper White front panel was stamped with the peony stamp from the Prized Peony stamp set in Basic Gray ink.  The leaves, stem and budding flower were colored using Light Mossy Meadow and Light and Dark So Saffron Stampin' Blends.  
The Peony flower was cut using Whisper White cardstock and the Peony dies.  The flower was fairly easy to put together. 
The peony die for this flower consists of four dies that build onto each other.  The smallest section, slides inside the next bigger section, which slides into the next bigger section and so on.  At first it looked a little intimidating but it went together pretty slick.  Stampin' Dimensionals were placed behind the flower petals on the first couple of rows of lower petals 
to give the flower some definition.  
Once the flower was built and adhered to the card front using Seal+, the So Saffron cardstock stamen, which was cut using the Peony die, was adhered to the center of the flower using a tiny dab of Multipurpose Liquid adhesive. The Always and Forever sentiment, from the Forever Blossoms stamp set, was stamped in Gray Granite ink.  Clear Elegant Faceted Gems 
were added for accent.
