Altenew NEW RELEASE Die Cut Flower, April Kiss Camellia!

Hi all!

Have you visited yesterday's Altenew video hop?  Yours truly has a video in it...eeekkk!!!...  There is a giveaway that is open until 3-11, so be sure to visit and make a comment to get entered to win a part of a $300 giveaway!

Onto today's card...I was inspired by the Inkspirational Challenge image with the peachy coral, pinks, and mint green deliciousness in the photo.  Make want a cookie real bad....

I have challenged myself to use items I haven't touched yet, or used in forever for the next 60 days.  With that in mind, this card started off with some lightly shimmered heather grey cardstock that has been on the shelf for ages.  It's a very pretty color and the shimmer bits are a lovely touch, but where it's from...no idea... it's been there that long.  For the background, it's been paired with Altenew's new Moonlit Silver glitter tape...which comes out in a couple weeks.... with a panel of Honeycomb Daisies in white cardstock over the top.  That die is a little like the edge of the cake stand, don't you think?

Altenew April Kiss Camellia flower die set

The new April Kiss Camellia flower die set is so beautiful!  It's also incredibly versatile, as you don't have to use all the layers to create your flowers, and they can even be made in different sizes!  If you want to see a sample of that, visit Jennifer McGuire's video from yesterday's hop.  She showcased this die set in all it's glory...I love how she thinks outside the box...

The edges of these flowers were inked with layers of Pink Pearl and touches of Coral Bliss inks to give it that peachy-coral color.  The leaves were then inked with all the inks from the Green Meadows collection of inks.

That gorgeous sentiment was die cut from Timeless Sentiments which was cut from white cardstock and the shadow, cut from a panel of cardstock with the glitter tape on it.  Easy way to add some sparkle don't you agree?  Finally, Frosted Foliage enamel dots were added to finish off the look.

Hope you head over the the video hop and check out all the designers and enter to win a part of $300!

Have a colorful day!
