Altenew July 30 Days of Crafting - Day 2

 Another month and another 30 Day Challenge from Altenew.   Day 2 - create a card with a die you've never used before....   

Easy for me... as I got a the Mini Delight Fabulous Flowers and it's associated die set last week and on Thursday afternoon I got time to have a play after having spent the morning with Grace.  It's 2 weeks School Holidays and I was looking after her.  

I went with a very clean looking card.  I started by stamping the little flower from the Mini Delight stamp set in Baby Pink, Fuchsia, Green Field and Shadow Creek inks.   Must say it took a few times to get it layered! Used the die from the associated die set to cut the arch.  Added a sentiment from Morning Asters stamp set.  I used an older Leafy Border die for some added texture on my background.  Added a few little iridescent dots.

Entering this into Darnell's NBUS challenge - first time using this mini delight set.

My morning on Thursday was spent with Grace and I getting our nails done. 

She was very patient as I had a full pedicure and manicure, and she just had the kids nail painting done.  It was a shocking wintery day with lots of rain, so nice to spend some time getting pampered.   Came home and she made a card.   She choses a card I had made and she tried to replicate it with Grace amendments!  She is great at choosing colours and putting her own spin on the cards.  

Hope all my USA friends and followers have had a great 4th of July celebrations.
