Shades of pink with the contrast of black and I immediately thought of the Calming Bouquet washi tape.
Thought I would go with a slimline card this time. I hand drew the line to give a frame.

... Altenew February 2023 Inspiration challenge
I'm so happy that this set of 4 products has arrived from Pinkfresh Studio. They came up with the brilliant idea of matching the stamping set with the die so it can all be cut in one go. In addition they have washi tape that can be cut with the same die, and a stencil to colour.
I decided to cut one set of the washi tape and make a set a cards.
I ended up with 4 cards. It's a quick and easy way to make a set of cards to gift!
Another shot to try and catch the gold embossing to match the gold foiling on the washi tape.
The second card is very CAS. I needed a Sympathy card and I wanted to keep it soft and airy. A splatter of ink to tie in with the NBUS "Reglettes Ronds" die from Simply Graphic. (Ruler circles die).
Card three was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch. I die cut the circle from the panel, then embossed with the Rustic Linen embossing folder.
The last card of the set used the wreath. I didn't want the full circle so decided to trim off one edge. Found some patterned paper in my stash and added the thin gold strip of washi from Altenew.

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.

... Addicted to Stamps and More : Make you Mark
When people ask me "What is your favourite flower?", I find it impossible to give one answer! There are so many I love ... Delphiniums, Sweat Peas, Roses, Lavender, Hydrangeas, Freesias, Bougainvillea .... and Cornflowers. I had such a lovely garden of Cornflowers last spring.
So for today, I will pick cornflowers ...
I used Distress Inks : Chipped Sapphire with a little Black Soot and Pine Needles to make my watercolour background.
It might have been difficult to work out where the washi was ! So you can see it was the cornflower. I love this washi!
I paired it with the cornflower die cut.

This time I'm using bits from my left over stash. I found the already cut washi tape, plus the acrylic painted stripes. I added the new (to me) painted grid washi and golden washi.
