Peruvian Lillies

 

 April Sponsor: Altenew

Altenew will present a $30 gift card to the winner of this months challenge at Die Cut Divas.

The Challenge is to make an Anniversary or Birthday Card. 

Remember to use a die-cut or dry embossed item in your submission.

Here is my project-

 

 

Pretty much everything but the ink and paper are from Altenew. I just love the Peruvian Lily dies. You can make them out of any color, any size card. I think an A6 or A7 size would have been better for two flowers, but I really wanted to use the Essential Textures: Gilded Marble Press Plate (with Lisa Horton's Cloud Nine Copper ink) so I made it an A2. I also embossed that background with the Zellige Tile 3D Embossing Folder as an experiment. I like it, but some people may not. Finally I finished with a sentiment from Rosa Gallica stamp & dies.

Make sure you enter your birthday or anniversary cards for a chance at that great prize!

Altenew will present a $30 gift card to the winner of this months challenge at Die Cut Divas.

The Challenge is to make an Anniversary or Birthday Card. 

 

Remember to use a die-cut or dry embossed item in your submission.

Here is my project-

I like this challenge, as I always need birthday cards! I bought this die set just recently, even though its an older set from Altenew (Fantasy Floral Die). I chose blue roses because I like unusual and/or different color combinations. The leaves are out of a brushed silver cardstock that was very difficult to work with, so I won't do THAT again. The lattice die is also from Altenew (Moroccan Lattice Cover Die), layered over a very pale blue cardstock. The vertical sentiment is from Crealies Texto Negativo Happy Birthday die set.

Here is my project-

 

 Simple card to make once I figured out the background paper (It came out of an old 6 x 6 tablet called GCD Studios Special Delivery)! The scalloped die is an old nesting die from Quikutz (Nested Scalloped Squares), and the cacti and sentiments are from Gina K. Designs (Stuck on You). I colored the cactus and pots with Copic markers in what I hope are desert colors.

 I chose the Gina K Sweet Spring Stamp & Die set for this card (available at several retailers I found doing a search). Perfect for a lot of my friends & family who are avid gardeners. The sentiment is from the Spellbinders Betterpress & die set called Natures Botanicals Garden Sentiments. The images were die cut with Lil Inkers Anytime Tags. I colored the images with Copics, and used small colored brads from my stash to attach to the cardstock. And OMG is that background cardstock old-20 years or better!

 I've had this Hero Arts "Peonies" for a long time, and had never used it? Why? I just found it! And since it is retired, it can be found on some reseller platforms. But Hero Arts does have this peony set now-the Peonies Bunch Stamp & Cut-and they have the matching stencils! This card was super simple to assemble after I had colored the leaves and flowers. The background paper was out of a DCWV Alphabet pad with bright pink solid cardstock at the edges. I hadn't colored with my Copics for a while, but I would definitely pick a different dark pink if given a do-over. Oh well.

 

This card was super simple to assemble after I had colored the leaves and flowers. The background paper was out of a DCWV Alphabet pad with bright pink solid cardstock at the edges. I've left it sentiment-less as this would make a good birthday, thank you, etc.
