2. First very gently with your bone folder or your finger curl the petals. With your sponge or sponge daubers, sponge with Petal Pink on the petals as desired. Start building the peony from the smallest petals to largest. The bottom of the petals all should line up and insert into the next petal.

Adhere the top layer of the leaf with Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Position the leaves under the peony. Highlight with Wink of Stella the peony and leaves.
