For my design, I opted for bold bright colors of Fuchsia.
I took out the Altenew Inks and chose all the darker shades of red and purple.
Altenew-BAF Fuchsia-Virginia#1

By following the guide, each step of stamping was easy to do.

To complete the stamped die cut images, I created a green background with gradient effect.

Since Fuchsia are seen as hanging plants, that was how I positioned them.

I love the "dramatic" effect for this card-the dark bold colors and splatter!

Your fuschia are the same colors of the one's planted in a big oak half-barrel in my backyard. Such a joy to see Altenew come out with a stamp set for them. And what a set it is...your renditions is just gorgeous with it's varying floral hues. And, yes, you ARE awesome, too.
