Altenew new inks, layering dies, and debossing - oh my!

 Altenew Open Peony die

I adore layering dies - Altenew has lots of gorgeous ones, and I was very happy to add this Craft-a-Flower: Open Peony die set to my growing collection!

Hello, my Doodlebugs friends!  Yes, it is Michele - are you just a little surprised to see me using blue today?  Now just because I have made it well known that blue is my least favorite color that doesn't mean I won't make exceptions to that rule!  I was really curious about the new inks from Altenew and thought these shades would be a good match for those hydrangea-periwinkle-ish shades of blue I do like!  I grabbed a piece of Bristol card and my Altenew blues and blending tool and got to work creating some paper to cut my Peony layers from.

I'll have more about this pretty Pinkfresh Studio set soon - but couldn't resist this
wonderful sentiment considering the recipient of this card!  The Indigo Skies ink is a wonderful match to these Pinkfresh Studio gems!
I nearly forgot to mention this Dotted Geo Cover die - isn't she lovely?  Altenew really knows how to push my buy buttons!

I really think I'm becoming friends with blue!

Wishing you all a fun and crafty weekend!  Thanks for dropping by today!

    Blue is my least favorite color too, Michele, but you may have pulled me to the blue side with this gorgeous peony.
