Hi, friends!

Welcome to Altenew’s October 2022 Super Subscription Release Blog Hop! Once a month, in addition to their fabulous stamp/die/stencil releases, they also have a Super Subscription release where you can get beautifully curated kits and sets that comprise of coordinating products (Craft Your Life Project Kits, Craft-A-Flower, Build-A-Flower, and Paint-A-Flower sets). This month’s release is as fabulous as any other and I’m always happy to create with them. Be sure to check out the Altenew Blog where this blog hop begins and where you can see more inspiration!

My card today features the Craft-A-Flower Epiphyllum dies. These intriguing flowers are a cacti and tropical succulent. Tugs at my cacti/succulent-loving heart! I googled images for inspiration and loved the dark backgrounds that I saw, so my card is over a black background – which is A LOT of contrast for me!

I die-cut and pieced together my flowers from lots of different cardstock colors, which I will link below. One one of the pink layers of the largest bloom, I used an R85 Copic marker to color the light pink cardstock because I wanted a layer between it and the next color.

I finished my card by stamping and embossing a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips 2 stamp set. I hope you like it and that it inspires you! Be sure to check out the full list of blog hop stops below for more inspiration from this release!
