CARDS
I adore Altenew's genius layering stamps. The flowers are so easy to stamp and turn out beautifully with the layers of color and intricate details. I used the Warm and Cozy and Green Fields ink sets from Altenew to create these flowers....
I layered it with a black and white striped pattern paper and then finished if off with a sentiment from the new Wildflower Garden Stamp Set and some clear droplets.
_____________________________________
Another new flower set this month is called Hope. These big blooms are beautiful and work great for a background or just one simple detail on a card.
I used the new Doodle Die for the background. I added in some Picked Raspberry Oxide Ink Blending along the bottom for on ombre style background. I added in one bloom and set of leaves with a heat embossed sentiment and sentiment die to complete the card.
_____________________________________
If you follow my blog, you know I love clean and simple. And white space! So I had to throw in one CAS card today.
This set is called Focus on You. The flower stems are so easy to color and die cut. I stamped that sentiment in black ink and added the bloom on top with foam tape for dimension. Definitely a quick and easy card for a friend!
The next stop on the hop is over to Enza's blog. :)
