WWC241 - Dawn's "Feminine Anything Goes" Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  I'm our hostess this week with an "Feminine Anything Goes" challenge.

Of course, as it's a feminine challenge, I just had to go with flowers.

A couple of weeks ago I was totally struggling with layering these flowers (Peony Bouquet set).  My stamps are extremely well used, and have gone a bit discoloured.  I asked some advise on the Altenew Fan Group of facebook and got some great ideas.  So for these I did a mixture of doing a die cut first and using it in my MISTI to do the outline and the first two layers and then used my Stampin' Up Stampamajig to line up the last layer.   I added some of the leaves from the Peony Bouquet and some from the Leaf Canopy set.  The sentiment is from the Leaf Canopy set.

Come join in the fun.  Check out the projects that the artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Mondays at 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (Tuesdays at 11.00am NZ time) to link up your project. 

Purple Peony

Last weekend I did some background using my new Pixie Powders... so today I got around to using one of them

I had stamped Altenew Peony Bouquet over the portion of the background I'd concentrated the purple powder to.   Although it looks simple, layering the different stamps proved to be more difficult than I thought and I didn't quite get it right.  Added some more purple inks to give it a bit more depth.   I decided that all it needed was the die cut sentiment.  It's from Creative Expressions .  One of my purchases last Friday.  I added some washi tape along the top of my panel and then used some fun foam to pop it up.

Hope you have managed to get some crafting done.   It's back to work for me tomorrow as I did not win the BIG Lotto prize this weekend.   I'm going to leave you with a quick photo of Archer.  He's almost 12 weeks now.
