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. 

Turquoise Flowers.

 

I haven't played along with The Flower Challenge in a while but this month's challenge called to me.  

I chose to use a Layering Stencil from Altenew to make a mini slimline card.

This is the Hill Blossom stencil and I used three inks from the Deep Seas set... Turquoise, Tide Blue and Starlight.  I added some black in to the tiny centres and added some tiny silver gems.   I cut the flowers out with a Gina K Master Layouts 7 die.  I used the larger of the two mini slimline dies and then added the turquoise layer before adding to a 3.25" x 6.25" base.  The sentiment is from another Altenew set - Classic Beauty.
