Altenew Craft a Flower

Hi Everybody,

For my first card of the year I have used the Altenew Craft A Flower layering die set called Sulfer Cosmos, that produces two different flowers, and I really love this set.

The dies are easy to layer as they have symbols on them not that makes it easy to follow the diagram. 

I have used pink card for my flowers and inked the centre of the petals with a darker pink ink.

With fine liner pen I drew in the feint black lines and under some of the petals I have added small foam pads to give some dimension.

Then every flowers has been covered with Accent Glaze from Made To Surprise and sprinkled with glitter.  This gives them a lovely shine .

I have used other die cuts that are on my desk, left over from other projects, to add more interest to the card. 

I will be using this flower over and over again in the future as I love the effect that it gives

More tomorrow ...
