Flower Shadows

Altenew have another lovely inspiration challenge this month.

When I first looked at it, I thought I would use the Cattleya set, but I wanted something smaller and so went with the Golden Garden set. Works so well with the inspiration photo.

The steps I followed :

• Stamp "shadows" on front panel using the thicker stamps in Silver Stone ink
• Emboss the panel with the woodgrain embossing folder
• Die cut and stamp the layering flowers and leaves
• Pop up the flowers and glue it all together

Set of Kindness Cards

I've had this set stamped up and sitting there in the stash of unfinished cards for months! I've finally got rounded to colouring them with Copics.

I had stamped them in Memento Rich Cocoa. I should have noted which Copic colours I used in each, but I forgot. Sorry!

I love the peach and red combination.

This is most probably my second favourite.

Tried with different colours for the flowers and berries.

As I love blue and brown, I gave it a try, but I didn't have enough colours.  I think I should have gone with the more turquoise tones.

Here is the full set. Which do you prefer?

Negative cuts

Having the matching dies for your stamps makes it easy to do negative cuts for the image to peep through.
