Altenew 31 Days of Crafting... Day 1

 I'm a bit late to the party, but today got some time to craft.   Every day there is a prompt to create a project. 

I remember I had some music stamps as part of Altenew's Happy Birthday to You set.   I stamped it with some Silver Lake ink onto a square panel.   The sentiment is stamped with Charcoal Suit ink - inside I'll add an appropriate sentiment when it's time to use this card.   The floral image is from the Dreamy Daylilies set.  I die cut with some white card, embossed it and then added ink blending with the matching stencil set.  The centre panel is 5" square and the final card 5.5" square - so I could make the most of the beautiful floral die. 

I did try out some ideas for Day 2 prompt but nothing worked out as I wanted, so back to the drawing board.  

The weekend weather has been lovely and we had two days of being able to lunch outside on the deck - including a Roast Lamb meal today 

Dreamy Daylilies #2

 While I had the Dreamy Daylilies embossing folder and stencil out on my desk, I decided to try out some other colours.  I did a quick google search.... so many inspirational pictures.   This one was my inspiration for today's card. 

I embossed then using the stencil used Altenew Fresh Lemon and Burnt Red for the flowers and Mahogony Bark for the stamen plus Fresh Dye inks - Eucalyptus and Forest Fern for the leaves.   I used a sentiment from Leaf Canopy set inked in Cloudy Night grey ink.   Decided no other embellishments were required.   

I have fallen in love with this lily and it looks stunning in so many colours... pink and yellow ones are on the horizon for sure.
