The mix of In the Woodland Stamp & Die & Coloring Stencil Bundle with the Note For You Stamp & Die Bundle is such a beautiful combination!

Speaking of beautiful, how wonderful are the new crisp dye inks?! I'm in LOVE!!!!

Here's what Altenew shared about this fabulous new Build-A-Flower bloom,

"Bring sweetness to your projects with some lovely florals! This stamp set features a beautiful honeysuckle flower and accompanying foliage to beautify your handmade projects. The flower includes an outline layer and four coloring layers. The set also has two individual leaves and a pair of leaves coupled with a lovely bud. All layers have been labeled on the acetate sheet for ease of identification and use."

And here's what I created with this stunning floral....

You are the sweetest, indeed! SO incredibly gorgeous!

Altenew Supplies Featured: Build-A-Flower Honeysuckle, Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink, Martian Terrain Crisp Dye Mini Ink Set, Gel Printing Soft Washes Paper Pack & Wildflower Paper Pack.

Let's take a closer look at this loveliness...

Aren't those Honeysuckle florals just divine?!! Truly stunning!

I colored mine with the beautiful Martian Terrain Crisp Dye Mini Inks & then stamped the outline leaves onto one of the mint green papers from the Gel Printing Soft Washes Paper Pack.

So simple, but so effective!
