blue snapdragons...

Hey there!  Popping in with a card for the current Color Throwdown and I will also be entering it at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.   Almost a month ago I purchased the Altenew Build a Flower Snapdragon/Ink bundle and I have been wanting to use it.  When I saw the color palette for this week's CTD I wanted to give it a try with the BAF Snapdragon set and I just love how it turned out!  I used the Altenew Blue Seas mini cube set and Rock Collection mini cube set to stamp my snapdragons.    As I was working with the stamp set I discovered that doing the die cutting first and then stamping is the best way to go with this set if you want to have die cut images.  I die cut the smaller snapdragon twice and the larger one once from MFT Smooth White cardstock and then stamped them with three shades of blue for the flowers and two shades of gray and black for the stems.  I die cut some MFT Smooth White cardstock with a rectangle die and then arranged my flowers to my liking.  I then determined where I wanted to stamp the sentiment, stamped it with VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink and adhered the flowers with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.   I adhered the panel to a cobalt blue cardstock base and then finished the card off with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins in aqua (two sizes) and black that I adhered with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.  All die cutting was done with my Crafter's Companion Gemini Jr. (Compensated affiliate links used within the body of my post where possible.)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
