Flowers with Altenew

Hi! It's Sue here on the Die Cut Divas blog today. For the month of April, our challenge is

FLOWERS

Our sponsor this month is Altenew. They will be giving our winner a $50 gift certificate to their online store. Thank you Altenew for this very generous gift.

Here's my card

For my card, I used parts of Altenew's Perfect Gift bundle including 3D embossing folder, layering stencils and die set. I embossed first, then used the layering stencils and distress inks to add color. The sentiment uses Altenew's Adore You stamp set. For more specifics on how I put together my card, please visit my foleysfriend blog.

Happy Crafting!

Thinking Of You Art Journal Page

 Hello there,

Cindy here to present another Flower theme inspiration.  Today I've created an art journal page featuring Altenew Craft-A-Flower Pansies Layering Die Set.

I did some ink blending on the background paper (mix media paper already slightly colored).  I stamped some text randomly, and applied volume paste thru stencil in selected areas.  After everything is nice and dried, I adhered the watercolored pansies onto the page.  To truly make this my own, I hand wrote "thinking of", the meaning of the Pansies in Chinese.

Altenew is our sponsor this April, and they are giving away a $50 gift card to our challenge winner (randomly selected from all the eligible entries).  Our challenge theme this month is: Flowers.

Remember to use die cut and/or dry embossing with Flowers for our April challenge.  I look forward to seeing your creations.

For further details and full supply list, visit my blog: Escape To Stamping.

That's it for now.  Have a great day!

I used Sunny Studio - Miss Moo stamp and die set. 

I used a free clipart barn onto some white card and then used a mini slimline die to cut it out.  I masked it off and added some Altenew ink blending for the background.  I stamped and die cut two cows and used some Spectrum Noir Aqua pens to add colour.  I stamped, coloured and die cut the little flowers too.  Just love the sentiment from this little set.   It's the cutest mini stamp and die set, so a super good price point. 

Do come and join us with your Critters... just remember to use your die cut machine for something on your card.
