Build-a-Flower: Wild Rose

I am currently working on another Altenew Academy Project. I drew inspiration from categories in this new class to make this greyscale card. I was thinking of a high contrast bouquet that looked like it could be tattooed.

I applied a light layer and light outline using Warm Grey Mini Cube Set for the flowers. I used the coordinating Altenew Artist Markers (Set B) to add little spotted elements to the flower petals. I omitted the outline for the leaves and used the darker shades to fill and color the Wild Rose leaves.

After die cutting the stamped elements, I arranged my flowers and foliage on top of a black splatter background. I framed the bouquet with the Fine Frames Diamonds Die Set. I used one of the small sentiments to complete this geometric and high contrast floral arrangement.

The grey scale card is unexpected! How beautiful. Before I read how you die cut it and the thin black diamond, I was thinking you drew a disappearing triangle in. So much easier your way!
