The Birch Press Peony Bloom layering die set is one of a range of layering dies that are sized to cover a whole card front, meaning that you need little else besides the dies to complete your card. The set contains three dies which each produce one layer, the design is basically the same on each layer but the cut away areas get bigger so that you can see part of each of the layers below. By using different coloured, either contrasting or complementary card the layers produce a stunning effect. The dies cut a rectangular frame with large peony blooms at opposite corners, there are two separate leaf dies so you can cut these in different colours and also choose where to position them or not use them at all. The dies are easy to use and create instant colour, shape and texture for your cards.
As you can see in the example above, shades of red and pink look beautiful for the blooms, whilst the separate leaf dies make it easy to cut them in green for a realistic look. All this needs now is a simple greeting and the card is complete. It would be easy to cut and adhere the layers together and then cut out the peony blooms to use separately or in a different arrangement as well as the leaves.
