Your Kindness


Hi everyone!  I'm still in the throes of my crafty spending freeze, but I'm actually enjoying the opportunity to pull out some old favorites and work with my unused stash too.

Today I'm sharing a card featuring the Dainty Bouquet set from Altenew.  I am so not good at layering stamps, but I can use them now because of the MISTI, and although this set looks complicated, it is not too difficult to line up.

I started by cutting an A2 sized panel of Neenah Solar White cardstock.  This was placed in my MISTI, and then I arranged the main image/base layer of the floral cluster over top.  I knew I wanted to create a mirrored image, so I placed the image so that when I turned the panel 180 degrees there would be no overlap.

The base layer was stamped with Altenew Silver Stone ink, and I used Forest Glades, Evergreen, Midnight Violet, and Andromeda for the additional layers.


The panel was really easy to create.  Each time I placed a layer and stamped it, I simple rotated the panel 180 degrees and stamped again.  

The sentiment is from Concord and 9th's Thankful Leaves Turnabout and was stamped with Industrial Diamond ink, also from Altenew.

I was really close to  just placing the panel on my card base, but I decided to trim just a bit off the top and bottom of the panel so that you can see a bit of the card base, and popped it up with foam tape.

Because I used the MISTI and mirror image technique, this really was a quick card to make.  Hope you are having a great week!
