Gorgeous florals from just a few colors + a blog hop!

Welcome to a blog hop to showcase the August release from Altenew! Today I’m using a lovely Build-a-Garden set to show how just a few colors yield gorgeous results.

I have a video sharing how this card came together:

Leaving a bit of white or light areas really enhances the look of depth on a stenciled design!

    The more I see this stamp set the more I want to get it. Your coloring is so beautiful. You have the right touch when it comes to coloring with stencils. I have to learn to not be so heavy handed!

    Beautiful card! I love how you added the white die to the back of the roses for a little dimension!

    The flowers make my eyes pop right out of my head..They are absolutely gorgeous. No to mention I loved how you created the mojo for us to create one.

    Beautiful card!! I am the same way as you about coloring..,..I’m just not good at it. But give me some layering stencils and I’m all in! You crack me up about getting your DNA all over those greetings lol! As for the splatter…I haven’t really tried it. I’m afraid I’m going to ruin a perfectly good card I just finished. Yours looks great on this card. Maybe I’ll just practice on other pieces of paper and get the hang of it first.

    Cathy, you always make cards look so effortless and pretty! I love the ink blending on the rose petals. Such a beautiful image. Thanks for sharing!
