Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I created this card as part of my AECP 2 Color Your Day course. One of the lessons in this course is Inspired by Color. My colors are inspired by Altenew's April Inspiration Challenge as seen below. I chose April because this is my birth month and yellow is my favorite color.
I am using the Altenew Craft a Flower Daisy Layering die set. I die cut the flowers on yellow and purple cardstocks with varying shades. I adhered the layers. I added details to the top layer using a Fantastix brush tip and Tim Holtz Distress inks in Shaded Lilac and Fossilized Amber.
I die cut the leaves on a green cardstock and adhered the layers. I also die cut the stem using a slider die.
I trimmed two pieces of the same yellow cardstock at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I added details to one of the panels using the Altenew Dotted Swirls debossing die. I trimmed a fourth of an inch off from each side. I adhered this to the other yellow cardstock panel.
I adhered the flowers to this layered panel to created a floral bunch.
I die cut a yellow strip of cardstock with the Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips die. I applied shimmer to a purple carstock strip. I adhered the sentiment die cut on a purple cardstock. I trimmed off the excess. To create this into a banner, I trimmed a strip of yellow cardstock, trimmed it at 1 1/2". I cut one edge of each piece to make into into a fishtail. I adhered this to the back of the sentiment die cut, offsetting it for the banner look.
I added green sequins for a bit of sparkle.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

6/2024: Altenew decided to change its affiliate program starting this month. Below is my affiliate link to the website. I don't think I can directly link the products I used with this new program. Please feel free to do a product search. I will update as I figure this out. The good thing about this new affiliate program is that I get to earn on each Altenew product you purchase and not only on the product/s I used on this project. As before, there will be no additional cost to you if you make a purchase. It is just a way to help a fellow crafter sustain her love for crafting. While in the Altenew blog, don't forget to check out their new release for this month. Thank you for your support!

That's a daring move to use a colored background! And it worked too! I do like the addition of slight inking in the background which separated the yellow of the flowers and that of the background! Nice job!
