PERUVIAN LILY #3

Bought this die set by mistake, but decided it was a good  mistake as it makes such a pretty bold card.  I used the colors from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.

All the products in my card are from Altenew - cardstock, dies and embossing folder.  I love the curvy leaves ef as it makes such a wonderful subtle background for any florals.  To me this is sort of a backwards bridge card.  Will put a sentiment on when needed.
 


Am also entering my card at Die Cut Divas challenge where the theme for April is flowers.  Altenew is their sponsor this month so my card is right in tune with them.  Also is an entry for SSS Monday Challenge - blooming blooms.

Thanks for stopping by...

Peruvian Lily #2

It's time for another TicTacToe Challenge - #268! My card is totally a CASE of a Jennifer McGuire card but I hope that you'll like it and it will inspire you in some way.  Peruvian lilies alstroemeria) have always been my favorite flower - I used to buy two bunches at a time at Trader Joe's and they'd last for several weeks!

I stamped the Altenew lilies with black ink and heat embossed.  Then used the stencils to shade in all the flowers and leaves.  Added some translucent dots to the center bloom and added the little "hello". 


I went down the left side with stencil, any color and flower or it could be almost any which way if you stretch the Mom sentiment to simply saying hello to your Mom!!

Hope you'll join us for this current challenge - it's an easy one - guaranteed!
