Altenew Layering Flower

Happy Tuesday crafty friends! I have been struggling with my crafty mojo! Work and life have been too crazy lately. I thought one of the beautiful Altenew layering flowers might help to jump start my card mojo.

I never use purple, I don't know why but I decided to try and go out of my comfort zone for this one. I used the Altenew Purple Crisp inks with the beautiful Hope stamp set. I find this one is a lot easier to line-up then some of the other layering type sets and I love the big and bold flower.

Once I die cut my flower with the coordinating dies I looked through my stash and decided to use this Avery Elle Horizontal Stripes Frame die with Lawn Fawn Black Licorice card stock to frame the flower. I then grabbed some Simon Says Stamp Lavender card stock and embossed it with one of my 3D We R Memory Keepers embossing folders. I glued the black die cut panel on top of the lavender one.

Once that was done I decided to die cut the beautiful Simon Says Stamp Leaves Cluster die out of vellum to add behind my flower and leaves. I then used the Altenew Thanks script die with some silver mat mirror card stock by Tonic.

To finish off the project I added a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Wisteria Blossom sequins.

Thanks for taking the time all of the products used are linked and lister below!

Pretty Pink Posh Wild Roses

Happy Friday crafty friends! So happy the weekend is a couple of hours away! My local store has started carrying Pretty Pink Posh and I couldn't resist playing with this Wild Rose set!

I goggled wild roses and my inspiration picture is a little further down in this post, I wanted something a little different and bright!

I didn't have a specific vision for this card, I just loved the colors from the wild rose picture I found on google. So I pulled out my RV00, RV02, RV04 and Y00,Y11 and Y15 to mimic the colors below.

Once I finished the flowers I colored my leaves in YG21, YG25 and YG17 and die cut all of the images. I decided that a stark black and white background would be best for the bright flowers.

I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn black card stock to A2 size and then decided to use my Avery Elle Horizontal Stripes die with Neena 80lbs card stock. I really like the way the flowers look against that background. I then used some Tonic glitter paper and fun foam with StickIt sandwich to die cut the Pretty Pink Posh Thank You Script sentiment. The pink glitter works so well with the flowers.

I debated adding in the white circle back to the centre of the frame but felt leaving the middle black was fine. I am still on the fence, lol.

I put all of my elements together and topped everything off with the new Pretty Pink Posh Watermelon Jewels (I love all the jewel colors in this line!)

Thanks so much for taking the time!
