Rural Farmstand and Breezy Day Card

Today I am thrilled to be part of a hop on Instagram for Altenew's August release. If you'd like to hop along for a chance to win gift cards to Altenew, check out my Instagram account @carriesheridan.70 for more information. 

I began this card by creating a black top-folding A2 card base. Then I trimmed a panel of white cardstock to 4 by 5 1/4 and stenciled Altenew's new Rural Farmstand stencil set onto it. I used the new Highland Flora ink collection for the purples you see on the card. Other inks used: Whispering Woodland, Red Sunset, Dessert Dreams, and Obsidian Black (for the sentiment). 

I adhered the stenciled panel to a piece of purple cardstock I had trimmed to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 and then adhered that to the black card base. Then I die cut the pieces for the kites from the new Breezy Day layering die set out of white cardstock. I ink blended the pieces and stamped the pattern on the first kite using a stamp from the new Mini Delight: Sweet Popsicles set and the Highland Flora ink collection. I assembled my kites and added them to the card using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape. 

To finish the card, I adhered the sentiment (this was created using the new One Go: Solid Circular Sentiments Press Plate and coordinating die) to the bottom of the card.
