With the formalities taken care of, let's take a look at the card I've created with the gorgeous

Paint-A-Flower: African Daisy Outline Stamp Set!

Oh how pretty!!! Those African Daisies are really stunning!

Altenew Supplies Featured: Paint-A-Flower: African Daisy Outline Stamp Set, Sunshine Valley Garden & Water Garden Artist Markers, Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink, & 36 Watercolor Pan Set.

Let's take a closer look at this sweet card...

To create my card, I stamped the Paint-A-Flower: African Daisy in Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink, before coloring the image with Sunshine Valley Garden & Water Garden Artist Markers.

I really love the daisies colored purple - sooooo pretty!

I used the 36 Watercolor Pan Set to paint my background, and added a lot of messy splatters!

Unfortunately, the black splatters really masked my sentiment.

The solution? I double embossed the sentiment in opaque black embossing powder for maximum impact!

So simple, and yet so beautiful!

Here's a few close ups for you...

Simple stunning!

I really hope my card has inspired you to get creating with the fabulous

Paint-A-Flower: African Daisy Outline Stamp Set

Now time to share my project!

"Beauti-Fall" - 12 x 12 inch scrapbook layout

With the change in seasons, I thought it might be time to create some Fall themed projects!

And the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Hello Beautiful was perfect for this!

Altenew Supplies: Craft Your Life Project Kit - Hello Beautiful, Caramel Toffee and Sapphire Pigment Inks, Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink, Wildflower Paper Crafting Collection & Warm and Cozy Enamel Dots.

Such a beautiful page! Let's take a closer look...

Wow! This is really stunning!

You'll spy that I used my blending ink tool with the coloring stencil and Caramel Toffee Pigment Ink to create a base of falling Autumn leaves. So awesome!

I inked the gorgeous florals in Sapphire Pigment Ink, and proceeded to layer them over my falling leaves, and my sweet boy's photograph!

As always, the sentiments included in this project kit were really lovely! For a crisp and clear result, I stamped mine in permanent black crisp dye ink

A sprinkle of enamel dots completed my page. Gorgeous!

I really hope my project has inspired you to get creating!
