Perfectly Layered Japanese Mums

Good morning friends~ I recently signed up to receive Altenew's Build A Flower Monthly Subscription and my first set arrived last week. 


They make the most beautiful layered flower stamps, it's hard to not add more than one, ok maybe two..... or three to your cart.  By joining the monthly kit program, I find that I don't over-indulge as I'm sometimes always prone to do. 

My first kit included the Japanese Mum set.  This was very easy to line up and the images stamp beautifully!  Altenew's Mini Ink Cube Sets make it easy to build the color layers because the ink colors are already coordinated to give you lightest to darkest colors.  


I found that the  County Fair printed paper from My Favorite Things matches the colors of the ink cubes perfectly!

I'm trying something new to me, so I've linked all the products below for your convenience.   By clicking on the links I'll receive a small percentage of the sale at no extra cost to you and I thank you for shopping along with me!

Your flowers are absolutely GORGEOUS Birgit!! I had looked at this stamp set just a couple weeks ago but ended up ordering another set...now I'm wondering why?!! The monthly program sounds wonderful too, but I've had so much stuff coming in lately that I need to think about it a bit. But anyway, your cards are just lovely...so detailed and I just love the plaid backgrounds too! Well done my friend!! :0)

Your Mums are truly gorgeous, and indeed perfectly layered! Swapping the purple/coral patterned paper to coordinate with your blooms is so pretty!
I adore Altenew's florals the very most, Birgit - you'll love that subscription, I'm sure of it!

Your mums are gorgeous, Birgit! How fun to have a subscription! I love that you found just the right paper to go with the ink colors! As you say, use up the papers before you die - lol! I will have to will my crafty tools to someone who appreciates them so my kids don't just throw it all out.
