Have Faith Peruvian Lily Easel Card

Today I have a sneak peek at Altenew's new Build-A-Garden: Peruvian Lily set which will be released in February. I'm thrilled to be a guest designer for Altenew next month and am excited to be able to share some new products on my blog before they are released.

The Build-A-Garden sets come with a stamp set, a coordinating stencil, and a mini blending brush. There are also coordinating dies which can be purchased separately. I had so much fun playing with this set! I made these lilies in many different colors and used black ink to stamp some of them and embossing ink with gold embossing powder for others. 

The base for this card is a cut file I purchased at the Silhouette Design Store. I used my Silhouette Cameo 4 to cut it out of white cardstock. Then I stamped and die cut the Peruvian Lily stamp and used Altenew's Desert Night Crisp Dye Ink, Fresh Lemon Crisp Dye Ink, and Fresh Leaf Fresh Dye Ink to ink blend the stamped image over the coordinating stencils. The stencils work perfectly and make me look like I know how to color! Once I finished coloring in the flowers and leaves, I adhered the die cut flowers to the front of the easel card. 

To create the stopper for the easel card, I die cut Altenew's new Have Faith word die set using cardstock I had ink blended with Desert Night to match the flowers. I die cut the shadow die out of black cardstock and also out of black fun foam and adhered them together before adhering the "Have Faith" words on top. The foam layer gave the die cut some dimension so it could hold the easel part of the card.
