Yellow Roses


It's been a rainy holiday weekend here, which has prevented me from getting outside to weed. Instead, I took the rain as a sign and stayed inside to create a few floral inspired projects.


I am totally smitten with the Altenew multi-layering stamp sets (this one is Vintage Flowers). This is my first go at creating one, and I used the Altenew May 2016 Inspiration Challenge for my color choices.


I was skeptical with my stamping ability at first, but after the third layer was stamped I was simply blown away at the flowers that were produced. I see a lot of roses in my future! After I stamped my panel, I added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp, trimmed the image into a square and mounted it onto blue cardstock. I then finished the card by just adhering the matted panel onto a white cardstock base, with a minimal white border.

  1. Those layering stamps really are awesome aren't they? Love how you combined these different flowers. (And try not to be too bummed out about not getting to do the weeding...) :)
