Hello Friends and Happy Thursday! It's also the 15th of the month and that signals a new challenge at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. The optional floral prompt for this month features bright Marigolds in the colors of the season. I love Marigolds and plant them in my garden as a natural insect repellant.
I was directly inspired by the optional prompt and used the Marigold Layering Die Set from Altenew for my team project. The "keyhole" system Altenew has created makes lining up the die cut layers so easy and basically fool-proof.
I've used textured colored cardstock from American Crafts for the flower layers & leaves, and added distress inks for additional shading. The background has been embossed using the Deck Planks Embossing Folder from Altenew along with the Versatile Greetings Die Set, also from Altenew.
Golden Dazzles have been added to highlight the gold mirror card sentiment, and then I decided an Easel Card would be nice so I added additional die cut words as the stopper.
Please join us this month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. We love seeing all the creative designs shared with us. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
