Hi friends! I’m so excited to share today’s clean and simple card with you! I’m using the gorgeous Altenew Meadow Burst Stencil Set, which comes with 5 stencils to create this beautiful, layered arrangement. I literally just received it in the mail, and I couldn’t resist jumping right in to play with it! It’s such a fun set that makes creating these stunning designs so easy.
I was inspired by the color palette from the Altenew Inspiration Challenge and the 30 Days of Crafting Challenge - Day 16 when creating this card!
To bring this design to life, I started by layering the stencils, carefully adding each color one by one (Red Sunset and Frosted Foliage Fresh Dye Inks). I loved how each layer built upon the last, creating a beautiful gradient effect. The soft, blended tones gave the arrangement such a peaceful, harmonious feel. The stencils made it so easy to achieve those rich layers.
Once I finished layering the image, I decided to take it a step further by using a rectangle die to cut into the design. This added a bit of structure and frame to the card, highlighting the beautiful arrangement while giving it a clean, polished look. It’s a simple touch, but it really helped focus the eye on the stunning layers of color I created.
Next, I adhered the layered image to an A2 white card base using foam tape for some added dimension.
For the sentiment, I chose a beautiful phrase from Elegant Sayings, stamped it in bold black ink, and then cut it out using the matching die. I popped that on foam tape as well to keep the clean, dimensional look going. To finish off the card, I added a few Altenew's Satin Gold Sequins for just the right touch of sparkle and shine, bringing it all together beautifully.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!
