Hello and welcome back! Today its all about the Build A Flower: Honeysuckle stamp and die.
Hopefully your coming to visit me from Colleen Balija blog and if not you can start here or visit Altenew!
I made two cards for the occasion. The first is a slim line card and the second is a A2 size card.
For my colors I selected Shades of Purple and Green Meadows along with a Black and White design. I used the Gradient lines washi tape and the Enamel Dots: Essentials Black and White colors.
I started by cutting my cardstock to 3 1/2 by 7 inch white 80 lb cardstock, then added my Gradient Lines Washi Tape to create a quick background. I created 2 flowers with the Build A Flower: Honeysuckle using the layering guide in Shades of Purple and Green Meadows.
I added a layer of white cardstock to add a bit of structure and a landing for the blooms. Which in turn broke up the lines, to give my designs a bolder look. The sentiment was added as was the Essential Black and White enamel dots.
For my second card, I used the same supplies, adding Jet Black cardstock to the mix. I also turned the washi to get another style that worked beautifully with the Honey Suckle. I also used another sentiment from the stamp. As for the enamel dots, I included one of the hearts in my design.
Again, using the same Shades of Purple and Green Meadows and using a single bloom and a pair of leaves. The were so many wonderful sentiments in the set to choose from, but I kept it simple and uplifting!
By changing the direction of the Gradient lines washi I made the A2 card look larger. Again I used the Essential Black and White enamel dots to finish my card.
Up next we will begin again at Altenew!

DeleteAsters tend to grow like teenagers--tall and gawky. Most varieties reach 2-4 feet in height; dwarf asters stay smaller, of course. Keep your asters under control by frequently trimming stray branches and spent flowers. protectandheal-dnu
