This sympathy card combines a few Altenew sets. The lilies and leaves on the front of the card are from Altenew's Craft-A-Flower Stargazer Lily die set. I water colored the lilies and leaves with Altenew's watercolor brush markers. I highly recommend them as they are highly pigmented and make water coloring a lot less intimidating for me! The "sending you love & hugs" sentiment is from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life Bewitching Rose set. The yellow die cuts behind the lilies are from Altenew's Linear Crossroads die set. I die cut two of them and arranged them behind the florals. The black background panel was embossed using a brick wall EF from my stash.
For the inside of the card, I used my Silhouette Design Studio software to create a print and cut of the "It feels like Friday, but Sunday is coming" sentiment. I adhered that to my green A2 card base and then stenciled and die cut a design from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Nature's Magic set and adhered it to the white panel to finish the card.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Carrie! Love the lilies - so perfect for snippets. Oddly enough I've been wrestling with Altenew's Lily stamps and dies set here today. Not the easiest to use for sure - should have gone for this set of dies methinks.

Di, I have found that using my stamping platform is really helpful. I die cut the flowers and leaves from some card stock and use the negative space to align the stamps for each layer. I do quite a few at once while I've got everything out, but I know what you mean. I do think the dies are easier to work with.
DeleteThis is absolutely stunning, Carrie. Those flowers are gorgeous and I really like the pinks you used. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely card with us at Word Art Wednesday. Please stop by again soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Karen!
