********************************************

I'm always amazed at how gorgeous Altenew's layering die sets are and this Craft-A-Flower: Buttercup is another awesome set!  I love the layers of this sweet flower and the included layering guide makes lining them up a snap!

I created my card base first by stenciling Dark Night ink through the Halftone Stencil with a blender brush.  Then I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼".  Next I inked up the edges of a top-folding card with Dark Night ink and adhered the stenciled panel to it.

I think it's awesome how there's a layering sentiment included in this set!  I inked up a piece of scrap card stock with Dark Night ink and die cut the sentiment shadow.  I die cut three "thank you" sentiments, adhered them together and attached them to the shadow.  

To create the flowers I began by die cutting the layers from the lightest cardstock that's in the Summer Afternoon Gradient Cardstock set.  Then I used a few yellow alcohol markers to add shading to each layer before adhering them together.  I die cut the leaves from a few different green colored card stock in my stash.  Then I created my flower arrangement on the card and adhered it with foam tape and liquid glue.

I love how this turned out and will definitely be using this beautiful Craft-A-Flower: Buttercup a lot!!
