Altenew's 31 days of crafting - Day 8

 Well life has gotten in the way of crafting so haven't managed many of the 31 day prompts.  Was very lucky though to have my Day 1 card get chosen for week 1 winner.  

So, I decided to try Day 8's prompt - 


I have one of the earlier Simple Layering stencils - Flower Bunch 


It's a bit harder to try and line up as there are no numbers on the stencils - difficult to decide what way up the stencils goes... but I managed on my second go to get it matched... only to mess up the flower centre in the lower flower...


I used Altenew Fresh Dye inks  - Aqualisious. Teal Cave, Galactic Stream, Jade, Eucalyptus, Forest Fern, Mauve and Berrylicious to do my ink blending.  This stencil has a matching die thank goodness... I was inspired by Therese Calvird, who showed how to stencil another flower - and in my case, die cut it out!  I popped it up with some 3D tape.  I added some black Spectrum Noir sparkle pen on the centre of the flowers.  I used the larger of the Altenew Mix and Match Frames to cut out a panel which I backed  with some navy card and added to a white base.   I used the Galactic Stream ink to stamp the sentiment 
from Altenew's Classic Greetings.

  4. So great how companies have improved the layering stencils, but you certainly made this old set work for a beautiful card!
