The Flower Challenge: Clean and Simple

I am playing in The Flower Challenge #70 CAS Clean and Simple Challenge.


I could not resist a CAS Challenge using new products from Altenew.


Quick Clean and Simple card design...
I used Altenew "Watercolor Stripes Stencil" for my background.
I laid an A2 size piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper on to my
"Stick and Stamp Mat" and then covered with the stencil.
I love how the stencil sticks to the mat and no longer have to use masking tape.

Then used make up brushes to blend the yellow and green Distress Oxide inks
thru the stencil.  Removed stencil and placed paper in MISTI.
Stamped the Altenew "African Daisies" over the stripes background with Versafine black ink
 and heat embossed with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.
Used the same technique for the sentiment,  which is from the same set.

Die cut the border with Penny Black "Leaf Stitched Frames"
attached to SU Basic White 100# Card Base and Done!

I loved how my CAS card turned out and will be sending it to my
dear 93 year old friend,  Daisy:-)  Enjoy....

Love and Hugs,

Supplies:
Stamps: Altenew African Daisy.
Paper: SU Basic White 100# and Strathmore Mixed Media.
Inks: Versafine black and Distress Oxide yellow and light greens..just used what was already on the brushes.
Accessories: Stick & Stamp Mat (SSS).  MISTI.  Penny Black Leaf Stitched Frames Die.  Ranger Clear EB Powder.  Heat Tool.


Adding to NBUS #40 Challenge.......used the Altenew Stencil and Stamp set for the 1st time:-)
