I love making peonies, using Spellbinders Peony Nesties, so that's what I went with. I crinkled up the paper and sponged the edges, before layering it up and adding a button. I stamped some music on one of my panels because this fabulous sentiment reminds me of the wonderful old hymn, Amazing Grace. It's rare that I make a card without twine or ribbon, but after trying various combo's, I really felt it looked better without.
