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!
