CAROLINA ALL SPICE LAYERING DIE SET
This layering die set creates an awesome an flower using layered die cut pieces. Here is my completed card. I love the way it came out. I inked a piece of white cardstock using Altenew set of yellow ink cubes to create a gradient of colors starting with the lightest color from the ink set. I inked white paper using another Altenew ink cube set for gradient green ink to die cut the leaf pieces. I also used a mini paper pad of gradient green card stock from Altenew for a few of the leaves. I used the direction guide to layer the pieces to create the flower. For the smallest and last piece of the flower layout, I colored the white paper with a Copic marker. I did the same steps to create the three leaves. I used the Altenew Burlap Texture Die for the background. I inked white card stock using a blue ink cube from Altenew that I used for the Burlap Die. I kept some of the die cut squares in place for additional accents. For the Thanks die cut word from the set I used glossy black paper for the top layer and two more layers from black cardstock. Great tip to create a layered die cut word. All of the pieces of the card- the layered flowerd, burlap die and thanks word were all die cuts from the Altenew collection. A stunning card and so versatile .

Beautiful card. Perfect yellow petals and I like the blue burlap die cut behind it.
Thanks! The die cut was perfect to add for the background. Thanks again.
So beautiful! Gorgeous yellow!
Thanks so much.!
The yellow flower is so appealing.
I love Yellow and Blue together and your design is fresh and lovely.
This is perhaps my favorite on the whole hop! I love the subtlety of the color range in the yellows — some of the others hurt my eyeballs! This really gives them a place to rest.
Wow! Thanks so much! Sometimes less is more. I love the warm yellow colors too! Many thanks!
Beautiful card! The Burlap Texture die is such a wonderful backdrop for that gorgeous yellow bloom!
Thanks so much. I like the die fir the background too. Thanks!
Lovely card. And having the card mostly in yellow, shows the versatility of the flower die. No need to worry about finding a color combination or not having enough supplies. The light blue background die looks beautiful and delicate behind the flower.
