These colors definitely made me think of flowers and Spring, so that's the direction I took with this challenge.
I used products from many crafty manufacturers to create this. The flowers were part of the Stamptember 2024 collaboration with Altenew and Simon Says Stamp. I have oodles of floral stamps but no azaleas until this stamp set made its way into my craft room.
I started by stenciling the stamped image with Altenew inks (listed below), then using the matching die to cut it out. The background panel was die cut from white using a Honey Bee Stamps layering frame die, then I softly ink blended some orange in the middle so that it would highlight the floral arrangement. It was then layered on a panel of Concord & 9th Clementine cardstock and added to the card base. The floral image was added onto two additional die cut layers, then arranged on the card, along with fussy cut the sentiment to finish things off.
I hope to see your card in our gallery this week and definitely encourage you to visit the challenge blog for more inspiration and ideas from my talented teammates! The challenge remains open until Friday 1/17 at 3pm EST.
Thanks for visiting and take care!

Stef... great card! Azaleas are a great flower and such a good reminder spring is around the corner (miss them from Connecticut). Very interesting Honey Bee frame... and unique. Super card!
Stef, another beautifully colored card. Your florals are fabulous. I love the die cut corners, too.

Such a pretty card, Stef! I like the fancy corners and your wonderful azaleas!
What a bright and glorious bouquet of flowers. The corner cut outs make a great frame for it. This is such a cheery start to the New Year at PP. :-)
These flowers are a breath of fresh spring for sure! Just the ticket for our cold, cloudy, snowy days! Just gorgeous!
Oh, Stef! What a stunning card! I love the vibrant color of the flowers. They are gorgeous! And that background frame die...be still my heart! It is amazing! Have a wonderful week!
I just love the bright pop of colour from those azaleas Stef - just stunning! The soft orange behind highlights them beautifully and I love the corner detail die too. Wonderful!
These flowers are so bright and pretty, Stef!
