Sisterhood of Crafters is Collaborating with ALTENEW!

  Hello my friends!

Today I have a card for the new challenge over on The Sisterhood of Crafters!

Our theme today is:

 

 DIE CUTS / Optional Anything Goes

 

We are excited to announce that we are collaborating with the awesome ALTENEW company for today's challenge.  They have a wonderful Build-a-Garden Collection  available and the SH DT is happy to showcase projects using some of those beautiful sets.  More details a little further down in my post.  (They are offering an AWESOME $50 GIFT CERTIFICATE PRIZE to our winner ... HOW COOL IS THAT!)

 

Here's the card I've created for our DIES portion of the current Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge.

 

 Did you ever have a time when the card you had in your mind is totally different from what you ended up creating?  LOL  Well, that's the case today.  

Of all my dies (and believe me when I tell you I have a LOT to pick from), I don't know why this one jumped out at me but since it did, I ran with it and this is how it turned out.

 

 This is the die I'm referring to ... Sue Wilson's 'Garden Delight'.

 

I did my die cutting from white card stock then colored in the frame & lattice using Tombow markers.  I had intended on only coloring the flowers that are on the die itself but I had a variety of floral stickers laying on the work table from a previous project and 'just couldn't stop myself'!  LOL

I have chosen to showcase their Build-A-Garden: Rosa Gallica Bundle... here's what I created:

 

This bundle comes with the stamp set (lots of fabulous sentiment included), the coordinating dies and the stencils for awesome coloring fun.  They also include great instructions but if you still need more help, you can always go to their YouTube channel for visual instruction.

 

For this creation, I used stamp, stencil & die for my focus image.  For the background design, I used a 6x6 panel from the Make & Create Happy Watercolor paper pad, the frame was created using the larges die in the Memory Box 'Wrapped Stitched Frames' die set (#30117).  I've popped up the upper 2/3 of my flower using dimensional tape and finally a few little Nuvo drops to bring attention to the Altenew sentiment.
