Here is my inspiration for this months #189 challenge....
Please see below for all details and products used:



  • I started with a 4.5"x6.5" white card stock panel. I used my flower stamp from the Altenew stamp set and stamped them onto plain copy paper and fussy cut them out to create a mask for each element. I then proceeded to stamp out my image onto the white panel I had created, I started with the flower in the middle, I stamped the image using versa fine CLAIR black pigment ink and my stamping block, once stamped I then masked off this flower using the make shift mask I created with the copy paper I adhered this with a little bit of removable tape pen ensuring I line this up correctly over the image. Once in place I stamped another two flowers to the top and the bottom of the centre flower, slightly overlapping each other using the same Ink and method as before. I then covered the other two flowers with the masks I had previously created and continued to stamp the foliage from the same set around the flowers.
  • Once I was happy with my stamping I removed all the masks to leave the image. I then coloured the image using my alcohol markers.
  • I stamped out a thank you sentiment to the right hand side of the main image, and ran around the edges of the card stock panel with my glue pen and added some glitter over the top.
  • To frame this centre piece image I decided to do some matting and layering. I created a black mat and glued the image directly onto this piece using wet glue. I also created a purple pearlescent embossed mat, I ran the purple panel through my die cutting machine with an embossing folder, I added foam pads to the back of this layer to create some dimension, I then added this to another white mat layer and glued directly onto a 5"x7" white base card.
  • For some finishing touches I added some purple flat back pearls around the image and also went over the flowers and the leaf's with a sparkle pen to add a little shimmer when held up to the light.

  • Altenew wallpaper art stamp set
  • Altenew thank you builder stamp set, for the sentiment
