Feel Better Soon


Today's card is for the current Colour Throwdown challenge.  This may be the first time I've showcased these Altenew stamps.  I've tried to work with them a few time with my Zigs but I've never been thrilled with the results especially when comparing them to other beauties I've seen.  Just gotta keep practicing I guess...  Here I went with my favourite technique of paper piecing using solid cardstock.  The leaves are glued flat and the flowers are popped up for a little dimension.  Clean, crisp and simple.


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Periwinkle) Bazzill, (Gumboil Green) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (All from Bamboo Rose) Altenew
Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Dies:  (Happy) Altenew
Gems:  Recollections

Perfect. Yep. The roses and the sentiment are just that; perfect. The dark periwinkle is spot on, and the green is a wonderful companion to them. Then there's your design... gorgeous and so beautifully CAS. I really, really like this card!! Bev
