Double D - ALTENEW Collaboration - Anything Goes/Stencils

 Dear Ones~

There's something exciting going on over at Double D. We are honored to have been invited by ALTENEW to collaborate with them on a fun challenge. Our challenge is ANYTHING GOES, and using stencils is OPTIONAL. Here is the Mood Board for our Double D Challenge inspiration:

 

Here is my card:

Altenew has some FABULOUS bundle sets which they call Build-a-Garden. These bundles come with a stamp set AND a stencil set which is very detailed with many panels. The one here is called Magnificent Branch. It is a HUGE stamp, large enough to cut apart to make 2 cards. Below you will see a couple cards I made with just part of the image.  Altenew also offers dies to go along with the stamp image as a separate item.  For this card I stamped my own background on a white panel with an Altenew stamp set called Wildflower Doodles. I used Altenew inks in Sand Dunes and Espresso. Then I sponged the edges for a distressed look. After I stenciled in the colors on the image I used my Prismacolor Pencils to enhance the flowers.
