Altenew and Pinkfresh

I loved the first card I saw by Hannelie using Altenew's White Cap Peonies stencils.  Finally added it to my stash and made an entry for the September Inspiration Challenge.  
The Altenew inks are Wisteria, Hydrangea, Ultraviolet, Andromeda, Sunkissed, Orange Cream, Forest Glades and Jet Black.  I splattered Altenew Jet Black ink spray and used their wonderful Dotted Swirls Debossing Cover Die.  I used Gina K Master Layouts 1 to die cut the rectangles.  The sentiment is from Sweet Bouquet and I added a few black enamel dots.  Already sent it off to a friend with major challenges right now.
 
Love that the Pinkfresh Monthly Challenge now has an Anything Goes option.  That let me pull out my 2018 Hello with a Bouquet die.  I've used it quite a bit, but don't remember ever using Fall colors. 
Thought about ink blending a background, but decided to smoosh Distress Oxides on a cream panel instead.  The colors are fossilized amber, wilted violet, peeled paint and vintage photo.  I was really happy with the look of my panel, especially after spraying it with fossilized amber Distress Spritz.  You can get an idea of the beautiful shimmer in my IG post.  The letters are stacked and covered with glaze.  Couldn't resist adding Golden Rod Stickles to the flower centers.  Think this could be for a birthday or maybe even Thanksgiving.  I'm also entering SSS Monday and DCD.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
