Hello friends!
I am super exited to share some fun and inspiration with you today.
You see, it is my turn to host the monthly Altenew Inspiration Challenge for October.
Seeking
inspiration from nature is my favorite thing to do when traveling. This
past August, I had the pleasure of visiting Iceland. During the tour to a
fishing village, I caught the sight of roadside flowers and there they
were…field of poppy flowers!
I quickly snapped a few photos and it is now the color combo for our October Inspiration Challenge!

The wonderful 36 Pan Watercolor Set immediately came to my mind when creating my own color palette. I die cut the Leaf Frame Cover Die and watercolored the entire panel in Mocha and Espresso. I then set it aside to dry.
For the flowers, I created my own watercolor paper by applying Citrus
Burst, Fresh Lemon, Warm Sunshine, Sunkissed and Orange Cream and let
the paper dry. Once dried, I took out the Wildflower Garden Die Set and started die cutting the larger flowers with Mini Blossom. It really didn’t take long to create as you get so many flowers in one sheet!
To give more depths to the Wildflowers, I stamped the flower center in various colors with Autumn Blaze, Warm Sunshine, Dark Chocolate.
Parts of the Leaf Frame Cover Die
was then trimmed off. This gives the overall a relaxing and fancy-free
feeling. After all, they are wild flowers, right? The “Happy Birthday”
sentiment was stamped from the Botanical You Stamp Set. I stamped more details and added splatter with Caramel Toffee Metallic Shimmer Ink Spray.
I hope you are inspired by the rich deep color combo and please give this
challenge a try (see here)!
I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
