Prized Peony CAS

As I continue my adventure with watercolor, I decided to try “painting” this image and created a Prized Peony CAS (clean and simple) card.

In fact, it is so clean and simple that I hesitated to even post it. But then I saw the Festive Friday Challenge and it fits pretty well into several of the categories! Here is the #FF0062 banner.

I’ve got CAS design, one layer card, single image, birthday theme, and floral theme! All in one little card! 🙂

Here are the (few) card details:

  • Watercolor paper, 4″x 4″
  • Basic Black Cardstock, 4-1/4″x 8-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″ for a top-folding card
  • Staz-on Black Ink
  • Old Olive and Petal Pink Ink Pads
  • Water Painters and water
  • Birthday sentiment (retired Label Me Bold)
  • Very Vanilla Medium Envelope with Peony Gardens DSP on back flap

This square card fits into a regular Medium Envelope. My recommendation is to put a piece of 5-1/4″x 4″ scrap cardstock in the envelope with it to help it through the mailing process without damage (you never know!)

Another tip on the sentiment: I ran my Black Blends Marker along the side edges of the sentiment rectangle to give the look of black cardstock and popped it up with black Mini Dimensionals. All neat & tidy with no white parts standing out!
