Are you feeling negative about Altenew’s Craft-A-Flowers? I am, but in a positive way lol. Check out what I mean in my video linked below!
Alright, so here’s what I was talking about…… NEGATIVE Space! These layering dies are perfect for this and a fun different way to use your stash too!
This card was very easy to make, I started with a watercolour background which was created with some watercolor refills.
And kept it very clean and simple so that the technique could shine.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Very pretty card. I think the addition of the second layer was the right decision. It adds more dimension to you already pretty card. Love your videos.

Such a pretty card! I do love both variations but think the extra layer on the flower is my favorite. The colours are gorgeous! I’m sold…it’s on order! ☺ Thanks for inspiring!
Wow! I like both versions but the second layer does add such a pretty detail it is probably my favorite. Great video and I will definitely be checking out my CAFs to see what else might work. Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful!you are a genius Therese love the easy coloring and the slightly different color for the second layer,it adds a lot of dimension!💕 Thanks for the inspiration and for the video!

Thanks for sharing your video and for the great idea of using the negative space! Can’t wait to try it with what I already have. So simple, yet so effective. Both ways are gorgeous!
Wonderful cards. My favorite is the first one — the colors are gorgeous and I so love the style. I didn’t realize how versatile the lovely buttercup set could be.
Well, that’s a very unique technique. Thanks for taking the time to do the video.
Your die cut buttercup is just so pleasing to the eye and so soft and pretty. It almost is radiating some magic from it, maybe it is the love you have placed into the card! I just find this so unique! LOVE IT!
Awesome idea!!! Beautiful card! I just love the colors
Beautiful!! I definitely like it best with your second purple layer added. It gives such a rich depth to the flower. TFS!
