All About Layering 3 - Project #2...

Hi! My second post of the day is the homework for Day 2 of Altenew Academy's All About Layering 3 class taught by the Lydia Evans. I really love the simplicity of this look.

Here is my card.

I started by stamping a bunch of images from the Peony Bouquet stamp set by Altenew on some white paper. For the flower, I stamped only the layering images and omitted the outline. For the large leaves, I omitted the base layer and for the smaller leaves, I stamped only the outlines. I die-cut everything with the coordinating dies. The sentiment is from the Painted Greetings stamp set by Altenew and I stamped it with Mudra's Jet Black ink. 

After the card base was dry, I arranged the die-cuts the way I wanted and adhered them down with glue. The flower is popped up on some foam tape to give it some extra dimension. Here is a closer look at the die-cuts.

Notice the lovely splatters I got with the Jet Black ink. I diluted the ink with water and used it to create my splatters. Before this, I always had to dig out my acrylic or watercolour paints since none of the other inks gave true black splatters. I am in love with this new ink. It stamps really crisp and dark and dries very fast. Here is another look at my card.

I hope you liked my card. I am entering it in the following challenges:
