Just a little Hello - Sending Happy thoughts with Altenew

Hello everyone happy Tuesday!  

I hope you are having a lovely week - I treated myself some time ago to a Build a Garden collection by Altenew.

The set is called the Daisy Crown collection and I bought the stamp set, layering stencils and coordinating dies, but I've been so busy with other projects I've never got round to playing with it.

So I decided to have a play whilst hiding indoors to try to keep cool.

It's very different from my normal cute cards but I do love to make floral cards.

I used the smaller of the floral images for this card and I've got loads more ideas just need to have the time - who knew being retired would be so busy... LOL

I stamped the smaller floral spray in a light grey distress ink and then used the layering stencils to colour the design before cutting out with the matching die.

The background is a piece of fabulous ink drop paper that I have been hoarding but thought it was about time I used some !...the design has the look of gold foiling but I decided to add more, splattering the panel with foiling flake glue before adding gold foil.

The sentiment were stamped using purple Versafine Clair ink, one directly onto the card blank and the other die cut and then mounted with foam. Finishing touches were a few pieces of gold confetti around the design.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll come back to see my next project 

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
