Hello my Doodlebugs friends! It's Michele here bringing you some bright blooms - I can only hope you have a sunshine-y day to match!
I recently added this wonderful Altenew Sulfur Cosmos layering die set to my ever-growing collection - it was love at first play for me! Instead of starting out with white cardstock, I chose a pale yellow, and medium green then added a bit of blended ink to bump up the colors. Like this:
It's always good to follow the guide that Altenew is kind enough to include in their packaging, and online. I love their keyhole, and arrow guides - each numbered and really easy to stack! After figuring out which dies go together, here is how I store them for ease of use the next time:
You will NOT find a stem die included in the set - easily remedied by cutting a slim strip of the same green cardstock and arranging accordingly. But seriously, the set is perfect without it!
Don't they look adorable on this Pinkfresh Daisy Chain cover panel? I had so much eyelet in my wardrobe in my teens - did you?
You might see that my petals have been popped up here and there to give them a more realistic look and I'm sure you've noticed I've used that wonderful Waffle Flower Craft Hello Friend again - I have a little stash ready to go whenever I need one!
Happy weekend everyone!

ReplyDeleteI love my Cosmos too, Michele. I haven't made them in yellow yet but yours are so pretty and cheerful I may have to do that. I have a couple of eyelet blouses now. There's something about the look that I love, including that coverplate.
ReplyDeleteSunshiny happy card, Michele. Love the tips and the eyelet background. I love me some eyelet!! Yesterday, when you posted this, it was rainy and even snowy! But so far it's sunny this morning. Thanks for sharing this delightfully happy card.
