Hi Everyone!
Can you believe it’s November? Where has the year gone? It feels like everyone goes so much faster, I have to slow down, take the time to smell the flowers as they say – and how about this one? Altenew’s latest Build-A-Flower is the gorgeous Honeysuckle, and we are blog hopping today to celebrate. If you didn’t land here from Mindy’s blog, you can head on over to start the hop over on Altenew’s blog.
The Honeysuckle is an unusual set, with gorgeous sweeping stamens and flowing petals. I love the little unopened bud that also comes on the leaves. I decided to build up my florals with some additional die cut leaves as well!
I layered up the petals using Butternut, Chamomile and Marigold Crisp Dye Inks. The leaves were made from Just Green, Minty Mint and Hunter Green. I then die cut the images out with their coordinating dies. I also die cut both layers of the Inline Leaves die. I colored the bottom layer with Hunter Green and the top layer with Sweet Leaf and Just Green blended on slightly, then adhered them together. I also spritzed it with Pure White Ink Spray.
I arranged the leaves and florals up the left hand side of a panel of white cardstock using foam tape and glue. I stamped the sentiment in Obsidian Black ink directly onto the panel. To add some more depth, I used Minty Mint and the Castle Motif Stencil to add little faint areas of. pattern here and there. I splattered with Warm Sunshine Metallic Ink Spray and finished with a few gemstones.
