Altenew All About Layering 5



 I was so excited to make this card. Having never used this layering technique 

before I was both excited and nervous. 

I have to say that I am very pleased with the result and am anxious to try it again!

Next time though I will start my layering from the top instead of the bottom!


I used the large flower and the leaf cluster 

from the Altenew Beautiful Day

layering stamp and die set.

Groups of three were colored using

Altenew Crisp Dye Ink Cubes

in Red Cosmos, Golden Sunset,

and Pocket Full of Sunshine.

The leaf clusters were colored using

the Green Fields Cube Set

                                                           
                                                    
                                                                     Using an alphabet die set
                                                                     I cut the sentiment letters
                                                                     and used low tack tape to
                                                                     transfer that to the card front.


                                                        The leaf clusters were stamped 
                                                        using the Altenew Green Fields
                                                       Crisp Dye Ink Cubes and cut with 
                                                        the coordinating die                           

                                                           
                                                         I was nervous about being able 
                                                         to place the die cuts in a pleasing
                                                        arrangement, but was pleased with 
                                                                         my results.
                                                         However, next time I will work from
                                                         the top down rather than from the
                                                                          bottom up.


I was a little nervous about
cutting the overhanging bits
but pleased with the result


I used the prototype to
help me with placement
of the lettering and was
pleased to have a set 
similar to the example


                                                         I worked in some blue sprigs from the 
                                                         same stamp and die set
                                                            as well as the leaf sprigs
