Altenew Crown Blooms

I finally opened my bottle of Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray which came in my Simon Say’s Stamp June card kit, and had fun making a bunch of backgrounds!  For this one I used a cool grid stencil and then sponged Shaded Lilac, Iced Spruce and Fossilized Amber distress oxide inks over it!  This card also features my brand new Altenew stamp set called Crown Blooms and I just love the images!  

I stamped the flower and leaf using Brutus Monroe‘s fabulous Raven Detail ink onto Bristol Smooth card stock, then enjoyed coloring with my Zig markers!  I didn’t buy the dies because I intended to use my Scan N Cut machine to cut the images but wasn’t very successful with that, so ended up fussy-cutting.  I stamped the little cluster of flowers onto the background several times then arranged my blossom and leaf over them.  The addition of a few coordinating pearly-thingies were a pretty accent!  

This little sentiment is from Brutus Monroe‘s Super Sentimental set and I heat-embossed it in white onto a strip of black card stock then adhered it to the blossom with bits of foam tape.  Lastly, I mounted the whole panel to a base card of lovely gray Bazzill card stock.  I know I’m going to really enjoy making more cool backgrounds and using my new Altenew set!
