The Flower Challenge has been on almost all month and the challenge is to use a die cut. It happens all too frequently that I put off getting a card made until nearly the last minute. The Altenew Stargazer Lily die has been on my desk at least all month, but finally I made a card with it.
I die cut the lilies with the. Spellbinders Specialty flower paper which does make it easier to shape the petals once you’ve colored them. I pulled out my ink daubers for these and used several different inks from Pinkfresh Studio. After I assembled the lilies, I splatter some white ink over the them.
For the background I chose a piece of Smoky Shadow cardstock which I die cut with Altenew’s Dotted Scales Debossing Cover die which adds subtle, but lovely, texture to the card. The sentiment is from The Ton’s Easy Expressions: Birthday.
In addition to The Flower Challenge, I’m entering the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More: Any Occasion, and another entry to Darnell’s NBUS–the lilies first run!
These lilies look amazing on the textured black background Karen. Love the way you coloured and splattered your flowers. Vicky x

Oh, how pretty. Love how you colored the lilies and the splatters just make it even more beautiful. Thanks for playing over at The Flower Challenge.
Beautiful card. There isn’t anything that I don’t like about this card. Another card masterpiece by you.
What I love most, Karen, is that you used a panel of dark cardstock behind those stunning lillies. I am swooning over your card! The subtle use of splatter and gold baubles just tops it all off perfectly! So gorgeous! I’m so glad you decided idea to join us at The Flower Challenge this month!
I agree totally with Steph, this card is perfection! Absolutely stunning! The lilies look amazing – I will have to check out the paper you used. Thanks for joining us at The Flower Challenge!
