Welcome
This card features my new layering stamp set from Altnew – Springtime Azalea.
My stash of wonderful designer papers doesn’t seem to get used often, so when I saw The Flower Challenge was paper piecing, I decided it was time to use some. I white heat embossed the outline flower on pink designer paper, which has a light floral print. I then stamped the 4th detail image in Altnew in Coral Berry, the stamens in black ink and the small speckled image in Altnew Pink Diamond ink.
The leaves were white heat embossed on some multi-coloured green paper and fussy cut along with the flowers.
A piece of dark green card stock was cut using My Favorite Things Die-namics Stitched Basic Edges.
The white heat embossed sentiment came from Altnew’s Stunning Cosmos and Sketchy Floral sets. from The flowers were arranged along the edge of the green card.

OMG this is so clever!! I would never think to stamp the image details on to patterned paper. I never do paper piecing so this was a challenge in itself but I’m so impressed with your design and ideas, I think I need to do it more often!! I love the simple, clean design and the curved black/white background is so stylish too. So glad you joined us at The Flower Challenge this month!!
