Altenew Beauty Within general card

 

Hello everyone. Sorry for the brief post today but we are self-isolating because our daughter has covid, and we are looking after her 11-week old puppy who in spite of being adorable is also a cheeky little fella who is into absolutely everything!

It's time to start a new challenge over at ATSM 



and this time we want to see cards that use die cuts and/or stencils. I used both on my card. 



I die cut the scalloped frame in white and then cut it again from pink card. I embossed the pink card with an Apple Blossom square embossing folder and then cut off the bottom with some scissors before attaching it to the white frame.

The flowers (Altenew Beauty Within) were stamped and I then used the coordinating stencils to color them in with dye inks before die-cutting them. The foliage is from the same set and the sentiment is from another Altenew set but I can't find it right now to let you know which set. I left it as a general greeting card that can be used for many occasions depending on what I stamp inside.

You can join in over on the ATSM blog and see lots of inspiration over there.

I'd like to play along at




Thanks for stopping by

Hugs

Oh Carol, I so hope your daughter is ok and doesn't have many symptoms of Covid. Prayers for her and you and hubby!! Went through the same thing with my son, only he lives with me and I was fully vaccinated. So all went well for me and for him as he only had some light symptoms. Yes, puppies are adorable but so cheeky! lol They are into everything and you can't turn your back on them for a second. Much like a toddler. Your card is just gorgeous Carol! I love those blooms and how cool that you could "color" them with the stencils and ink! Love the scallop mats and love how you put the pink and white together. Just gorgeous! Stay well and praying for you all. Hugs, Brenda
