For my card, I drew inspiration from the large flowers in the challenge and reached for this Honey Bee Stamps peony die. I cut all the layers from white cardstock and blended pinks and yellows onto the petals, with greens and soft yellows on the leaves.
The designer paper was a Christmas gift from my mother‑in‑law, and it felt perfect for creating a Mother’s Day card just for her. I paired it with a grey cardstock layer and a clean white card base, then arranged the peonies across the panel. A scattering of pink gems adds a bit of sparkle, and the Mother’s Day sentiment is popped up on dimensionals to finish the design with a little lift.
