Altenew September 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 Hello friends!

I am delighted to be back to share the monthly subscription hop with you.
We are celebrating this month's Craft Your Life Project Kit, Build-a Garden, Craft-a-Flower, Dynamic Duo and Spark Joy with a blog hop!


For details and inspiration of this hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog.


My project is featuring this month's  Craft-a-Flower. I love the simple shapes of the petals and leaves.
Altenew-Craft-A-Flower Japanese Camellia Layering Die Set-Exuberant Paper Pad

As you can see, it required little effort to assemble the flower and leaves. I decided to keep the petals nearly white and added a tint of pink for the flower center.

To add some dramatic effect, I used the paper from Exuberant 6x6 Paper Pad ( Simon Says Stamp).

I love the modern feel of this paper pad and applied "torn paper" technique to elevate the textures and colors. In top of that, I adhered a piece of Gilded Glitter Cardstock for the WOW factor.

If you have not tried out "torn paper" look, I courage you to try it out and add to your designs.

Altenew-Dynamic Duo Wildflower Bouquet-Simple Frame Stencil
 
 Thanks to the stencil and die, this card came together very easily. If you like fool-proof and easy stenciling, the Dynamic Duo  should be seriously considered.

 I created a "border" with the Satin Masking Tape (Scrapbook. com).

I love the contrast of ink and colors. The stencils allow you to add dark colors without any issue.
