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 Fantasy Florals

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.
