I repeated the process with the stand-alone filler images. Next, I stamped the leaf layers using Olive, Parrot, and Bamboo inks from the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3i9sk"><span style="color: #e06666;">Tropical Forest</span></a></b> Crisp Dye Inks.

The stencil pressed into the paper leaving a lovely impression). I'm always looking for ways to get the most out of my stash, and this approach is a great way to do just that! Once that was done, I spritzed the card front with Enchanted Gold Paint from the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3hrxt"><span style="color: #e06666;">Metallic Watercolor Set</span></a></b> and <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3fwhh"><span style="color: #e06666;">Jet Black Ink Spray</span></a></b> to create an artsy look. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXCarFigwHzJnsSKGoF4fl86bM4YfbGYnl-OjsPAcvtDcJHWsFeW3XSGJn0SmnxbuvBTmta3dLWpdlFgqXgJmjlAX7eFTRjlU31jGRctLSoPNWKqWzxFnPQGam_6klodqxvecwW1eWtHcDsGtOd9y4gJr6Blb8WaN82qJfiSDX-xzLnS9IAPvrk2Fe2A/s1200/Altenew%20Ethereal%20Roses%20Stamp%20&%20Die%20Set-Beveled%20Squares%20Stencil-Creative%20Edges%20Lace%20Die-Card2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1182" data-original-width="1200" height="630" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXCarFigwHzJnsSKGoF4fl86bM4YfbGYnl-OjsPAcvtDcJHWsFeW3XSGJn0SmnxbuvBTmta3dLWpdlFgqXgJmjlAX7eFTRjlU31jGRctLSoPNWKqWzxFnPQGam_6klodqxvecwW1eWtHcDsGtOd9y4gJr6Blb8WaN82qJfiSDX-xzLnS9IAPvrk2Fe2A/w640-h630/Altenew%20Ethereal%20Roses%20Stamp%20&%20Die%20Set-Beveled%20Squares%20Stencil-Creative%20Edges%20Lace%20Die-Card2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the greeting, I used the new <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3jtow"><span style="color: #e06666;">Floral Henna Stamp Set</span></a></b>.

I ran the embossing folder with the White Cardstock panel through my die-cutting machine to create the raised image. You could very easily leave it like this, but I pulled out my <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0mo"><span style="color: #e06666;">Watercolor 36 Pan Set</span></a></b> and did some loose watercoloring to highlight the absolutely stunning detail in the Embossing Folder. I did do some subtle washes of color on the background in coordinating colors. I think the effect is quite dream-like and ethereal. Once it had dried completely (you can use a heat gun if you're in a rush), I splattered the card front with Enchanted Gold, Aquamarine, Prasiolite paints from the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3hrxt"><span style="color: #e06666;">Metallic Watercolor Set</span></a></b> to add some extra metallic shine.

I did a few layers of ink blending to make sure that the color was really vivid and saturated, then spritzed some plain water into my hand and splattered it onto the blended card front with my fingertips, immediately blotting it up with a paper towel.

Next, to colour the butterfly, I used some vibrant blue and purple Copic markers to do flick feathering to the image. I started the lighter color on the outer edges of the butterfly wing, turned my paper around, and then used the darker colour towards the inside of the wing. After coloring the butterfly, I cut out the shadow wing from <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0m7"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">White Cardstock</span></a></b> and coloured it with <a href="https://shrsl.com/3h3ms" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Lagoon</span></a> ink and then adhered the layers down using <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3i9tf"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">foam adhesive</span></a></b>.

This made my job so much easier- I would highly recommend using the suggested ink colours if you want to create the same effect as depicted in the packaging. For the pencils themselves, I picked an ink slightly darker (or lighter) to act as the other coordinating shade in the pencil barrel and then stamped away with the help of my <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3ekf5"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">MISTI Stamping Tool</span></a></b>.

Then, I watercolored the panel using Lava Rock Brush Markers and drug the color out loosely with water for a soft, watercolored background. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS0j7IFzDln3Jayx6B1I7DSBfayCm2a449sDULviGfZK5E3XN7DMiI4LFj-rLfW7OxJzBI1lK7d8_kNHCYWDOu_bpriItUYBgxCF0wraJOLKab5YgFmoXJs_b7l0xVC1EAargDl6zdogMtggN73bZmIjCIezZSplVupWs_WV2ZH9c7yz2vpfj6Hr51BQ/s1282/Altenew-BAG%20Magnificent%20Branch-Pattern%20Play-Diamond%20Stamp-Simple%20Alpha%20Die%20Set-3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1282" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS0j7IFzDln3Jayx6B1I7DSBfayCm2a449sDULviGfZK5E3XN7DMiI4LFj-rLfW7OxJzBI1lK7d8_kNHCYWDOu_bpriItUYBgxCF0wraJOLKab5YgFmoXJs_b7l0xVC1EAargDl6zdogMtggN73bZmIjCIezZSplVupWs_WV2ZH9c7yz2vpfj6Hr51BQ/w600-h640/Altenew-BAG%20Magnificent%20Branch-Pattern%20Play-Diamond%20Stamp-Simple%20Alpha%20Die%20Set-3.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once that was done, I splattered the card front with Enchanted Gold, Sterling Silver, and Rose Quartz paints from the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3hrxt"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Metallic Watercolor Set</span></a></b> for a fun, artsy look. I also used some <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3fwgx"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Antique Gold Metallic Spray</span></a></b> to add some shiny, shimmery gold splatters to the flowers and leaves.

The thick charcoal die cut pops off of the center of the heat-embossed background! Then, I stamped the sentiment from the <a href="https://shrsl.com/3i30d" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch Stamp Set</span></a> onto a strip of <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0m7"><span style="color: #cc0000;">White Cardstock</span></a> </b>using <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0nh"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Obsidian Ink</span></a> </b>and affixed it to my panel using<b> </b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3c33q" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">foam adhesive</span></a>. The sentiment in the set isn't present in a vertical line, so I masked the stamp to have it combined into one line. Many of your sentiment stamps can be masked off to create different messages. Simply arrange your stamps on the block, then place a piece of tape over the word(s) you don’t want to stamp. You can use clear tape, washi tape or any other kind of low-tack tape!</div></span><div style="text-align: center;">\<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP2l2oNDPCVtsNB0l0tzmQuAw9SQ8EcGAlVUYDkV3kAxgBD1T7Mv9PBGnXPecI4mzUmDYmzzmqBRkVRGiceR_l-rpNHEiUCwTnZYQagXPRdQRT-Onidl2o60dp3HS2xtO5Mn1-I5K57xpKPhEFPRKRV89sntosOfRc0KlFwWzoJszsBo5NjKc_GcBC-A/s1228/Altenew-BAG%20Magnificent%20Branch-Pattern%20Play-Diamond%20Stamp-Simple%20Alpha%20Die%20Set.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1228" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP2l2oNDPCVtsNB0l0tzmQuAw9SQ8EcGAlVUYDkV3kAxgBD1T7Mv9PBGnXPecI4mzUmDYmzzmqBRkVRGiceR_l-rpNHEiUCwTnZYQagXPRdQRT-Onidl2o60dp3HS2xtO5Mn1-I5K57xpKPhEFPRKRV89sntosOfRc0KlFwWzoJszsBo5NjKc_GcBC-A/w626-h640/Altenew-BAG%20Magnificent%20Branch-Pattern%20Play-Diamond%20Stamp-Simple%20Alpha%20Die%20Set.jpg" width="626" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To complete, I adhered the panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base using <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0oc"><span style="color: #cc0000;">tape runner</span></a></b>.

Next, I pulled out my favourite <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3fwgv"><span style="color: #e06666;">Tropical Fiesta</span></a></b> Brush Marker Set and used Crimson and Sweet Leaf, and Lime Brush Markers to colour my die-cut pieces in a variety of shades following the layering guide. Altenew's brush markers have a wonderful vibrancy and are available in a gorgeous range of colors! You can use the brush markers as is, or as liquid watercolors with your own paintbrush, which is what I did for my card today. It was very easy to get three different shades of the same colour from one marker and I think this is a great way of maximizing your stash. Once I had all the pieces coloured and dried, I spent some time just putting everything together with <a href="https://shrsl.com/38iqz" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Craft Glue</span></a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9w6e-DzGto14kL_jIWwKo9WADR9HxJB_xy0NH3NvOl1XA1sLl1mh8Kyp4Z5EFb1rwzLkZFX-ca2aaGzYeo4rm1ItNombKKfmyvH4F3qJem4M-VTmttaBzDw5GF0ikE4TBszhjbkjtI3MuOTJ9Xbm-xKjrVEA5Ih-mAlHoK_-bBxhDtSl1ptCe1YHfCQ/s1282/Altenew%20Detailed%20Web%20Cover%20Die-Itty%20Bitty%20Branches%20Die%20Set-Virginia%20Rose%203D%20Die%20Set-Create-A-Wreath%20Die%20Set-Tropical%20Fiesta%20Brush%20Markers-Fragrant%20Florals%20Stamp%20Set-Card1.6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1282" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9w6e-DzGto14kL_jIWwKo9WADR9HxJB_xy0NH3NvOl1XA1sLl1mh8Kyp4Z5EFb1rwzLkZFX-ca2aaGzYeo4rm1ItNombKKfmyvH4F3qJem4M-VTmttaBzDw5GF0ikE4TBszhjbkjtI3MuOTJ9Xbm-xKjrVEA5Ih-mAlHoK_-bBxhDtSl1ptCe1YHfCQ/w600-h640/Altenew%20Detailed%20Web%20Cover%20Die-Itty%20Bitty%20Branches%20Die%20Set-Virginia%20Rose%203D%20Die%20Set-Create-A-Wreath%20Die%20Set-Tropical%20Fiesta%20Brush%20Markers-Fragrant%20Florals%20Stamp%20Set-Card1.6.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next, I trimmed a piece of <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0m7"><span style="color: #e06666;">Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock</span></a></b> to 4.25" X 5.05" and debossed the card panel using the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3hru2"><span style="color: #e06666;">Detailed Web Cover Die</span></a></b> in my Platinum 6" Die Cutting Machine (I positioned my Platform Standard; Die UP with Cardstock Inside; Embossing Mat; XL Embossing Plate and then ran this through my die cut machine as I would an embossing folder.

I coloured the petals using Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose, and Picked Raspberry Distress inks, and shaped them using the loop tool. Next, I coloured the stem and leaves using Mowed Lawn, Shabby Shutters, and Gathered Twigs Distress inks and shaped them with the leaf tool included in the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/37gra"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit</span></a></b>. Then, I coloured the stamens with Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber Distress inks and added <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3gthi"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Yellow Flower Pollen</span></a></b> to the lower tips with liquid glue. Once they dried, I rolled the pieces and adhered them down with <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/38iqz"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">liquid glue</span></a></b>.

Then, with a medium pink Copic marker, I flicked some colour out from the center to add some quick color to the flowers. Once that was done, I shaped the petals using the loop tool and bent the edges upward with tweezers. I coloured and shaped the stamens and leaves as done previously for the hollyhocks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQjggIYBR1ytpRed21TbOYmdh8YIMods49KBP8GxaGT-JwQQQRJakxI4Q81_rZIBWq9f4KwfTmniu6QAXXR-ru6dEALEruOxlMYUfvVvgzFM78mdjQYmduFwVdxTl1hNO_g6qDI5d7FULPKi78OxbtKb-DVdZ5ZOfb72_werTIwGSAlM4k8Kng1fzk_Q/s1200/Hussena-Calcuttawala-2022-Through%20The%20Garden%20Gate-Card1-1.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQjggIYBR1ytpRed21TbOYmdh8YIMods49KBP8GxaGT-JwQQQRJakxI4Q81_rZIBWq9f4KwfTmniu6QAXXR-ru6dEALEruOxlMYUfvVvgzFM78mdjQYmduFwVdxTl1hNO_g6qDI5d7FULPKi78OxbtKb-DVdZ5ZOfb72_werTIwGSAlM4k8Kng1fzk_Q/w640-h640/Hussena-Calcuttawala-2022-Through%20The%20Garden%20Gate-Card1-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to keep the focus on the flowers, so I kept of the design really simple. I created the background pattern using the “ink smooshing” technique. I pressed Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, and Broken China Distress Inks onto different areas of my craft mat and spritzed them with water until they beaded up. I pressed a piece of watercolor cardstock into the droplets and dried it with a heat gun. Once I was happy with the background pattern, I used Antique Gold Metallic Spray and Jet Black Ink Spray to add some splatters to the background to make it extra artsy. I wanted the panel to have a framed look, so I debossed the Large Rectangle Outer Rim and Insert dies from the <a href="https://shrsl.com/38ip8" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies</span></a> for a lovely thick impression on the paper.

After I’d finished die-cutting the images, I used blending brushes to blend some Black Soot and Hickory Smoke inks on the left side the panel, sprinkling some water droplets on the blended area, then dabbing them with a paper towel to pull up the color. Once done, I dried the panel and added fine gold and pink paint splatters for a dramatic look. Then, I adhered down the flowers, stem, and foliage around the frame using Hot Glue. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW0ZdYgRT1c81NT6B4n_eZzS8pt5DMespA1yca4orxwXQmIWoLd3d4cbdwzza2YOGxOeXbf5eLT0Xisbo3yyBvqqW9C6kGzxdQ0C8EKgXEeYfu4RzeTuvF33GvVyKsk0FFWjHwmI5WDP2IoAtuLJ36kTErqY9gubAJ6tLjNTHemV3XTrip_DmnOZx_BQ/s1200/Hussena-Calcuttawala-2022-Through%20The%20Garden%20Gate-Card2-3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW0ZdYgRT1c81NT6B4n_eZzS8pt5DMespA1yca4orxwXQmIWoLd3d4cbdwzza2YOGxOeXbf5eLT0Xisbo3yyBvqqW9C6kGzxdQ0C8EKgXEeYfu4RzeTuvF33GvVyKsk0FFWjHwmI5WDP2IoAtuLJ36kTErqY9gubAJ6tLjNTHemV3XTrip_DmnOZx_BQ/w640-h640/Hussena-Calcuttawala-2022-Through%20The%20Garden%20Gate-Card2-3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The sentiment was foiled in <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/398ba"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">gold</span></a></b> using one of the plates from the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3ffwt"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set</span></a></b> on <a href="https://shrsl.com/374h6" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Snowdrift Cardstock</span></a> and popped up on top with foam adhesive.

This lightly textured paper looks beautiful when embossed alone, almost like super fancy letterpress! The huge embossed image covers the majority of the A2 card front. Next, I used the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0mo"><span style="color: #e06666;">Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set</span></a></b> to add some watercolor to each of the petals. Once the watercolored image had dried completely, I added a bit of subtle shading to the centre of the flowers to give it a more realistic finish. I then fussy-cut around the image using a pair of scissors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCVnFPwFBrekcbwjO6PBBZA45rhUl0srEM-f992xjaYqSoG_qGpgkBLRm3VdydSKTU5uQ9j5_tSRQYyIbFy5mKEVXmLrIoPWU05OD0sC41F3bWkC-tSj9GtP2cgCwhYnHeTMQZRPiZFjyfOXH-LxUMaujQv-vJV8brUmYtM3AzvzP9hVW29BfUDY67yA/s1284/Altenew-PK%20Fragrant%20Florals-Watercolor%2036%20Pan%20Set-Hello%20and%20Hugs%20Die%20Set-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1284" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCVnFPwFBrekcbwjO6PBBZA45rhUl0srEM-f992xjaYqSoG_qGpgkBLRm3VdydSKTU5uQ9j5_tSRQYyIbFy5mKEVXmLrIoPWU05OD0sC41F3bWkC-tSj9GtP2cgCwhYnHeTMQZRPiZFjyfOXH-LxUMaujQv-vJV8brUmYtM3AzvzP9hVW29BfUDY67yA/w598-h640/Altenew-PK%20Fragrant%20Florals-Watercolor%2036%20Pan%20Set-Hello%20and%20Hugs%20Die%20Set-2.jpg" width="598" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Then, just like my previous card, I used Mountain Mist from the Altenew <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0mo"><span style="color: #e06666;">Watercolor 36 Pan Set</span></a></b> to add a wash of very diluted blue to the entire background.

When using the multi-layered die sets like the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3gatk"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Garden Picks</span></a></b> and <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3gav1"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Rose Flurries</span></a><span style="color: #f1c232;"> </span></b>Layering Die Sets, I like to die cut a bunch of them, so that I can create several projects at once. It's super easy when the layers are all grouped together in one convenient die set, like they are in the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3gatk"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Garden Picks Die Set</span></a></b>. The Crimson and Fresh Lemon Brush Markers are my favorite colours from the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3fwgv"><span style="color: #e06666;">Tropical Fiesta</span></a></b> Set and I used them to colour my die-cut pieces in a variety of shades. Altenew's brush markers have a beautiful vibrancy and are available in a gorgeous array of colors! You can use the brush markers as is, or as liquid watercolors with your own paintbrush, which is what I did for my card today. It was very easy to get three different shades of the same colour from one marker and I think this is a great way of maximizing your stash. Once I had all the pieces coloured and dried, I spent some time just putting everything together with <a href="https://shrsl.com/38iqz" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Craft Glue</span></a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxLiE7A6Yg2DL9B_HtPF5nBJIpApvtBX-IRYVEI5_w46PmCYO6qE8sZLaYsv03Yl7Fj3KrOw9kLCpEav8MK5BjImk78YNLAm9ZBXJVLC40kI14QO5SRL-JKW_NeJHScKBehwltWY4hB3S9d9HY3zsTMbiEe9KJ6f3JbJTKsmpHHFJqN7Nv18FE8wvmw/s1200/Altenew-Garden%20Picks%203D%20Die%20Set-Rose%20Flurries%203D%20Die%20Set-Layered%20Floral%20Elements%20Die%20Set-Tropical%20Fiesta%20Brush%20Markers-Leaf%20Burst%20Stencil-%20Card3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxLiE7A6Yg2DL9B_HtPF5nBJIpApvtBX-IRYVEI5_w46PmCYO6qE8sZLaYsv03Yl7Fj3KrOw9kLCpEav8MK5BjImk78YNLAm9ZBXJVLC40kI14QO5SRL-JKW_NeJHScKBehwltWY4hB3S9d9HY3zsTMbiEe9KJ6f3JbJTKsmpHHFJqN7Nv18FE8wvmw/w640-h426/Altenew-Garden%20Picks%203D%20Die%20Set-Rose%20Flurries%203D%20Die%20Set-Layered%20Floral%20Elements%20Die%20Set-Tropical%20Fiesta%20Brush%20Markers-Leaf%20Burst%20Stencil-%20Card3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Next, I die-cut some additional flowers, leaves, and foliage for my floral spray from the <a href="https://shrsl.com/3gatn" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Layered Floral Elements Die Set</span></a><b style="color: #f1c232;"> </b>and<b style="color: #f1c232;"> </b><b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3gatk"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Garden Picks 3D Die Set</span></a></b> using Altenew’s <a href="https://shrsl.com/3fwgt"><b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Watercolor Paper</span></b></a>. The smaller layering flower clusters and foliage included in the <a href="https://shrsl.com/3gatn" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Layered Floral Elements</span></a> Set are so pretty and I really like how the die set works well together with the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3gatk"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Garden Picks</span></a></b> and other Layering Die Sets from Altenew. I coloured the die-cut pieces using Sweet Leaf, Lime, Lava Rock, Paper Bag, and Sunkissed Brush Markers from the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3fwgv"><span style="color: #e06666;">Tropical Fiesta</span></a></b> Set and assembled them using <a href="https://shrsl.com/38iqz" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Craft Glue</span></a>.

I just had to create a vibrant rainbow card with this stencil and I am so happy with the way it has turned out! This card would just not be great to send to a friend or dear one, but serves as a great reminder to one's self too. I am thinking of recreating this design on a vertical frame and hanging it in my craft room. I think the quote would definitely help brighten up my spirits when I am feeling low or demotivated. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgi5LJKFGMehzTftbKR72qJUCfdRRIx26eLat9qcan1p8qUWMCDBaQQ35izO55xTVfockvX8QsGFX60pXbecg0bg9Sm8JaU6yT0StUbvG1MKFNlleQWgYs7wGoytE-4TvZoDMGyguEOeHEL9mAvgG_BHzP4fNvOmQbEnMkMQMDpyXphpx76c7KpMiFc4w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1164" data-original-width="901" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgi5LJKFGMehzTftbKR72qJUCfdRRIx26eLat9qcan1p8qUWMCDBaQQ35izO55xTVfockvX8QsGFX60pXbecg0bg9Sm8JaU6yT0StUbvG1MKFNlleQWgYs7wGoytE-4TvZoDMGyguEOeHEL9mAvgG_BHzP4fNvOmQbEnMkMQMDpyXphpx76c7KpMiFc4w=w310-h400" width="310" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I began by trimming a piece of <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3e0m7"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock</span></a></b> to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and lay the <b><a href="https://shrsl.com/3fwvo"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Double Rainbow Stencil</span></a></b> on top using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/3czaq" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Best Ever Craft Tape</span></a>.
