Flowery Smile

 Hello All,

Today I will be sharing and playing along with The Paper Players, Time Out Challenge, and Retro Rubber Challenge. I will say this card is a labor of love. Enjoy!

This card features a stamp set from Altenew named Dainty Bouquet. One thing Altenew does well is flower stamp sets and these Dainty Bouquet is no exception! It is downright beautiful and its vintage styling is so pretty, elegant, and timeless.

The top of the card illustrates the base layer stamp while below you see its detail and color. The black sentiment proves to be a nice divider between the two.


I decided to die cut the flower image for some texture and interest.

Yes, a labor of love! I have at least nine sheets of cardstock stamped with this set. It had some mistake or another. Sometimes it was the layout that didn't work, other times I felt it overlapped too much. Was it worth it? Absolutely! But I'll let you be the judge.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes are headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and healthy.

All the best,
