Stencilled Blossoms & Diamond Frames

Playing with the Altenew Hill Blossoms stencil & Fine Frame Diamond dies and the Spellbinder All the Stars stencil.

I've done it in 3 different colour combinations, and used different techniques with the dies ...

as an embossing folder,
as a panel and
as a frame.

I started with my favourite colour - blue of course! The die was used as an embossing folder using the rubber mat, then I masked it and distressed around the edges to give some depth.

My second has turquoise flowers. Kept the die cuts together to create a panel. The flowers didn't flow as I wanted, so I cut off the top 2 and tucked them behind the panel.

Third option I really wanted to use the Altenew Sugarplum and Nature's Wonder Ink sets. I used just one of the frame dies and inked it with the same ink so that it would match the flowers.

Soft Hill Blossoms

One of my favourite stencils this year is the Altenew Hill Blossoms stencil. Such an easy way to create a lovely layered flower. The bonus is that you can get the matching die!

I added doodles to give it a more whimsy look ... extending them on to the embossed layer.

Soft Blossoms

First time playing with the Altenew Hill Blossoms Stencil! Doodling gives it another look (see Norine Borys' card - so inspiring).

I wanted to keep this very pale, so when you do the first layer, use a very light touch - you should almost not be able to see the colour.
