Last week I got an Altenew die set - Petite Mountain Aven. I had to look up these flowers to see what they looked like. They are sweet little white flowers with yellow centres.... but for today I was inspired by Samantha Pfrimmer - the guest designer and challenge setter for the June challenge at Altenew and made them little orange flowers.
I was still not well this morning so stayed home and after a bit of a sleep in, I got up and decided to CASE Samantha's card.
I started by finding some sand cardstock for my background. I then used some Distress Spritz Fossilised Amber to splatter the background. Next I die cut the flower 4 times from some off white Fabriano 260gm card and used Altenew's Golden Sunset Crisp Dye inks to add colour to the petals. I die cut out the centres with some dark cream card and used some darker Orange inks (Warm and Cozy inks) to add some blending. Added some Gold Glitter pen to the last layer. Used two different green card - one dark and shimmery and the other an olive green, to cut the leaves. Added a little ink blending on them. I decided I needed something to "ground" the flowers so used the branch from Altenew's Itty Bitty Flowers die set. The sentiment is stamped in black and clear embossed - from Classic Greetings and cut with the matching die.
I'm entering this into The Flower Challenge 103 - Add heat/dry embossing - my sentiment was heat embossed.

These flowers are goregous - nice details with the coloring and leaves. Thanks for playing with our add embossing over at The Flower Challenge.
What beautiful flowers and love how you colored them! The branch was a perfect addition!
Dawn, your card couldn't be prettier - I love that you've turned those little flowers orange! So bright and cheerful and perfectly planted on that branch! You 'dotted the eye' with that heat-embossed sentiment and I'm very happy that you've added it to our gallery at The Flower Challenge!

This is a stunning spray of flowers, Dawn, and I love the way you have used the poppy colors to color and shade them! Great schplatters, too, on that sand paper! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! I hope you are feeling well now. Hugs, Darnell
Love how you deviated from the (usual) rule of three!
