I really enjoyed the lesson With a Twist at Altenew Academy. It's fun to use a favourite technique and adding something unexpected.
Here are the products I used on my card:
 |
| Cross Stitch Flower die |
 |
| Cross Stitch Flower Stamp set |
 |
| Sweet Rose Bouquet Stamp set |
 |
| Layered Medallion Cover Die A |
I am in love with the new Altenew cross stitch stamps and dies so I thought it would be fun to use the cross stitch die with a twist.
The twist component on my card is instead of using the stamp which matched the Cross Stitch Flower die, I used the Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp.
On a piece of white cardstock, I run the Flower die through my die cutting tool. Next I created a mask for the flower die and another mask for the area around the flower. With the help of MISTI, I stamped the flower stem using Altenew Inkpads Evergreen and Forest Glades. Then I placed the mask around the flower and the stem area.
Using the stamp set Sweet Rose Bouquet, I stamped the flowers using the Cherry Blossom inks and the leaves and stems with the Green inks on the area of the Cross Stitch die imprint.
For the background I die cut the Medallion Cover die and used it as a stencil and sponged some Distress inks Worn Lipstick and Shaded Lilac. The sentiment is from the Cross Stitch Flower stamp set. To finish off the card, I added some flower sequins.
What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!
