For today’s blog hop I used the beautiful Craft-A-Flower: Magnolia Layering Die Set to create a CAS card.

I cut my flowers and leaves out of white cardstock and used Altenew markers to colour the die-cuts. I used pink shades from Rock Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set D for flowers and greens from Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E.

I added some black ink splatters to the background before placing my flower arrangement and finished the card off with a sentiment from Circled Sentiments Stamp Set.

For today’s blog hop I created a very quick and simple card using the newly released stamps and a coordinating die.

I started by using a masking technique to stamp my flowers and leaves from Garden Delights Stamp Set. Next, I used Altenew markers to colour the images in and to add some simple details.

The sentiment is from You Are Everything Stamp Set. I stamped it with black and die cut it with You Are Everything Die.
