Altenew July Challenge

I’m right under the wire with these cards. Every month I think I’ll get to the monthly Altenew Challenge, and it just hasn’t happened. I was determined that I’d  make July’s challenge since I absolutely love the inspiration photo.

Thanks to Stef Perry, one of my DT members at Color Hues, I now own the Altenew Craft Your Project Kit: Fragrant Florals. I’ve hesitated many times about these suites of products, but Stef’s card was so beautiful, that I broke down and ordered this one. I’m not sorry. The floral image is huge, and more than fills an A2 card front. I decided to cut it into two pieces and create two cards.

I used a combination of Pinkfresh Studio and Concord & 9th inks to inkblend the florals with the four piece layering stencil. I love how it came out.

After cutting it in half I layered both pieces on separate cards with an embossed brick pattern. I found three of these in my stash. I don’t own the embossing folder and didn’t write down the manufacturer when I used it at a friend’s. 

The sentiments on both cards are from Altenew’s  One-Go Birthday Greetings. 

I’m also entering this in the Inkspirational Challenge: Use a Stencil.

Hopefully, I’ll be back tomorrow with another challenge card that’s due by midnight tomorrow. It’s a bit iffy since we’re planning a trip to the local amusement park if it’s a nice day.
