My card for the stencil challenge with Double D Challenge.

For the Altenew challenge.

I am using Altenew's Build-A-Garden Dear Dahlias set. 

It has a stamp set, a stencil, and a die that all mix and match. 

A great price for all that you get in all the Build-A-Garden sets. 
I will show you how many different things that you can do with these build-a-garden sets. 
My first card is done just using the stencil. 

Using the stencil on white card stock it made a quick and easy card. 
I used these inks for blending. 
Flower - GKD Sweet corn, Distressed Ink Mustard Seed, and Dried Marigold. 
The leaves are Distressed Ink Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint, GKD Dark Sage
Bell flowers are GKD Moonlit Fog and Dark Sage
I did go over some areas with colored pencil. 
The base is GKD Lemon Drop and for some interest,  Altenew's Diamon Frame cover on the base. 
Check out the above picture. 

For the next card, I colored the main flower image with Copic Markers and die cut with the matching die. That was adhered to a layer that was dry embossed with 
Altenews' Window Slats 3D folder. 

The last card is just done with the dies from this set.
I added some silver embossing powder to the leaves before putting it all together. 
It is a straightforward process to assemble the flower as there is a 
keyhole to match up for each layer. 
Then I dry embossed the background with  Altenew Dotty Circles 3D folder.
After embossing, I decided to add some leaves and just used the stencil for that.
A few gems from my stash completed the card. 

Here is the best part! 
Altenew is offering a $50 gift card 
to the winner of this challenge. 
Get your crafty on!

Also you can enter for another chance to win at the monthly Altenew Inspiration Challenge for August.

Here is my card

I used a layering stencil from The Greetery called Tartan Builder on the front panel, of course using the navy and lime colors. The die cut sentiment is Simon Says. From there, I just followed the instructions on Jennifer's video.
