Beautiful Peony Blossoms

Hello,

Iā€™m back for another post I made especially for the Altenew Sketch Challenge #9. My layout and colours are based on the image below. Lately Iā€™ve been doing a lot of card making, which I like, but I love scrapbooking and have lots of pages to do since Iā€™ve had a second child! Itā€™s such a great way to capture memories! I would be so honoured to win one of these challenges as I would love to buy the Altenew scrapbook collections to use.



Anyways, I used a white 12 x 12 piece of cardstock for my background. I stenciled on the first layer of the Altenew Watercolour Bouquet in Altenew Coral Bliss Crisp Dye Ink. I allowed it to dry and then used Versamark embossing ink with the second layer of the stencil and Ranger gold embossing powder. Finally, I used the Altenew Sketchy Floral stamp set and some masking tape to stamp portions of this stamp around the stenciled image in Altenew Starlight ink.


On the side, I stamped out some Peonies from the Altenew Build-A-Flower Peonies set. For the first layer I used Altenew Pinkalicious, Pink Pearl, Pink Diamond, Mango Smoothie, Buttercream and Warm Sunshine inks. For the second layer, I heat embossed in Altenew Antique Gold embossing powder and die cut the flowers. For the centres of the flowers, I used the center dies on some Darice Coreā€™dinations white holographic glitter card stock. I also heat embossed in Altenew Antique Gold some leaf images from the same Peony stamp set and the Rose Build-A-Flower stamp set on vellum, which I also die cut.


I then stamped out my sentiment. I used the Altenew Circle Sentiments set stamped in Versafine Onyx Black so that I could add some Altenew Transluscent Pearl embossing powder over the top. I then diecut this with the coordinating die.


I then stamped out the word ā€œbeautifulā€ on some dark blue card stock and heat embossed in gold. This sentiment is actually from The Ton called Peony Notes Set A. This is such a nice and big sentiment that itā€™s perfect for scrapbook layouts. I donā€™t have the Mega Greetings stamp sets from Altenew yet, which are also good for this, but theyā€™re on my wish list.


I then arranged and adhered on all my elements and picture with Tombow Mono permanent runner or liquid adhesive. I also stamped the sentiment ā€œinside and outā€ in Versafine Onyx Black which is also from the same stamp set from The Ton.



Then as a final touch I adhered some AB sequins all over my layout. I always say you can never have enough embellishments as long as theyā€™re subtle!



And there you have it! I hope you enjoyed viewing my page!
