Anniversary Flowers

Welcome

Today's card is done with this beautiful Dahlia layering stencil from Altenew.

So many possibilities and looks can be achieved with this stencil.

I went for a very bold colour.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and laid Stencil A onto my paper.  I inked that up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks and then over that some Blueprint Sketch, blending them together in some areas.
• I removed that stencil and positioned Stencil B into place.  I inked that up with some Peeled Paint then some Rustic Wilderness just to add a hint of a shadow.
• I removed the stencils and splattered with my white Posca pen.
• While that dried, I die cut the frame using this wonky stitched die.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto an A2 card base and popped the frame over that.
• I stamped and die cut the sentiment and pop dotted that over the bkg. and added 2 silver gems just under the sentiment.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Time for a reminder card for 

THE FLOWER CHALLENGE 

You still have time to play along with us!!

We are being sponsored by Top Flight Stamps this month. They are kindly giving our winner an e-gift card for $25. Please check out there website as they have some amazing crafty things there.  

Our guest this month is Tracy from whoistracy.

So here are my card details.

I picked up a few new goodies and wanted to play with them.  I love this poinsettia stamp from Picket Fence and just had to add it to my collection.  

I placed the flower into my Misti and stamped it with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed the image.  Using my Zigs and a wet paintbrush, I coloured and painted in the flower.  I splattered the whole flower with some white acrylic paint for my spots.

When it was dry, I fussy cut it out and set it aside.

I also just picked up this stitched square die from Paper Smooches.  Using a piece of heavy white cardstock, I die cut the square close to the top of my paper once, then moved the die down and cut the rest of the card front as I wanted it to be all covered.

I pop dotted the flower over the die-cut bkg then added the sentiment from Penny Black at the top.

I simply mounted that onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
