Color Hues #69, Inkspirational # 295 and Double D/Altenew

I haven't made a card in a while.  With all the combined birthdays and bridal shower activities, family visitors and great weather for lake fun, I have been too busy.  Most of what you have seen lately was made long ago for my design teams.  After all this time it's hard to get back into cardmaking.  

I did jump in yesterday for a card for several challenges.  The color of Color Hues, the stenciling of Inkspirational and the Altenew collaboration with Double D all combined for this card. 


The flower is from Altenew's Delicate Garden, stenciled with their inks from the Golden Sunset and Sweet Dreams sets.  The sentiment from Dazzling Dahlias was stamped in Galactic Stream and die cut with an Altenew Label Die.  The image was layered three times before adding it to the Dotted Swirls debossed background.  These colors look so wonderful together I may do the same with other images in the set. 

I'm so glad you took the time to drop by today.

You have been super busy and it certainly is hard to jump in after you take a break. I have yet to make anything the past 2 days. Maybe today, we shall see. As for this beauty...it turned out so fantastic! Great stencil work and the depths of colors is perfect, that background is awesome too. I am off to check out this set as soon as I can! Thanks for inspiring and I am glad you are having such a fun summer. Thanks for playing along at Color Hues.

I just love this, your colors are spot on. That Altenew set is stunning and you have used it perfectly. And of course the image just pops of the card because of your wonderful background. Thanks for playing along over a Double D, this is spectacular, my friend!!!

But no one could blame you if you did...sounds like you've had a fabulous summer, especially time on a lake. I'm so glad you had time to join us at Color Hues with this beautiful card. Thank you!
