CARD DETAILS
I started my card by actually die cutting the image first. Then using my negative piece, I held my die cut image in place with a little bit of purple tape. It is easier to stamp my layering images this way.
I lined my images up in my Misti tool to stamp the layers in various Altenew colors. Then I set off on the side to work on my background.
I masked off the edges with some post it tape and ink blended Wisteria, Hydrangea and Ultraviolet inks. Then I mixed some water with Liquid Stardust onto my craft surface and flicked it onto my background with a paintbrush.
After removing my masked area, I realized a few droplets had gotten under my post it tape. To fix that I went around the edges with an embossing pen and heat embossed silver embossing powder to frame my ink blended area.
I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in silver onto black card stock and fussing cutting. Then added to the front of the card with foam squares.
My second card was fairly easy. I had stamped the Build-A-Flower Lavender in a variety of colors from Altenew. I attached my images to a piece of white woodgrain card stock.
I finished off my card by die cutting the word “Friend” three times from black card stock and attached to the front of my card.
I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration.

Great purple background
Very pretty lavender images, the tiny inflorescence look so delicate, almost real.The sentiments are perfect on that casual font.Love both cards! Thank you for the gorgeous inspiration!
Beautiful cards !

Gorgeous creations, awesome new set!
I’m loving that purple background!! Wow!! Your cards are stunning!! TFS
Oh my goodness stunning use of the Lavender stamp set. I Love them all!
Lovely – love the variety of colours you used on the second card, but that bold inked background is stunning for the first card.
Love how you fixed your boo-boo with the embossing pen! And doing the second card in non-lavender colors makes them look like foxglove or something (not a gardener). Just excellent.
Just beautiful cards! Wishing I had your talent! thank you.

Love your ink blended background, and your stamped flower is lovely. I really like the die cut sentiment in black, too. Thanks for including how you fixed your little ‘whoops’—-always a learning experience for me!
Beautiful cards! They’re both amazing! Love your colors…do you remember what colors you used for the “red” lavender? That combination is wonderful! Love your fussy cutting and the silver embossed edge.
