Blending and die cut flowers, does it get any better?
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from LAURIE’s beautiful Blog.
Today I decided to play with a few techniques in ONE card! I started by masking a Circle.

And I blended an ombre background and added a subtle pattern using just one of the stencils from the Flowers and Petals Set.

Then I die cut some sweet flowers from the Zero Waste 3D Floral Cover die (this one is a clever design which you really must check out)! And a simple senitment from the XOXO & More Die Set.

Very pretty. I love the soft colours you chose.
Just as sweet as a card can be, Therese! LOve the tone on tone subtle stenciling!

The card is lovely. Never thought about using a circle mask then a stencil to make the background.
I love that you did a circle mask and left the white space. Your card is beautiful
Really pretty card! I love how the flowers ‘fall’ down the side.
This die is awesome way to never have leftover pieces of card stock…beautiful card.
So sweet and delightful!

Love this card, Therese! Your card designs are always so well planned out. It’s all in the details!!!
I like your sweet flower card! Reminds me of the song “Where have all the flowers gone”.
That die is amazing! Just to run it through 5 or 6 colors, imaging all the pieces you would have to help out with so many cards! I also really like how you used the circle, really makes the flowers stand out. Great Job, thanks for the ideas!
Very pretty card–love the colors and dimension of the flowers.
Beautiful card.

This is so pretty! Love the flowers!
Your background and colors makes this card so charming.
Gorgeous as always Miss Therese! I love that you used the tiny circles of cardstock with the flowers. Bling without the fuss! 🙂
Beautiful card. My favorite colors. I especially love the subtle stenciled background.
