It's the first Monday of the month and that means the kick off of a new stamp set of the month series! The stamp set of the month for August is by Altenew, the Sunflower Daisy stamp and die set! It is a beautiful set, very pretty, realistic, and detailed. So, somewhat out of my style. But, I love the look of this stamp set so much I just had to play with it and make some cards in my style with it. Plus, I love to take on a challenge. So, let's take a look at my first card with this set.
I really do love how the large flower looks so realistic and has so much depth.
Here's a look at the entire stamp and die set.
If you look closely at this set you will see that the images are labeled, so you know that you are to stamp al the "A" images together to make one flower and all the "a" images together to make the center of the large A flower. And the same for the "B" and "b" images for the smaller flower. The "C" images create the large leaf image. There are also a few filler leaf images as well as some sentiments. And as you know I love a set that includes some sentiments.
I used Altenew inks for my stamped images. The reason why I decided to give Altenew ink pads a try is because they sell them in sets of 4. Four colors that work together, So you don't have to guess when you are doing stamp layering. In this case I used three inks from the Pocketful of Sunshine set and one from the Delectable Delights set. The Hazelnut ink was used as my darkest color on the flower, for the shadows. It really helped this image to pop.
The background of this card is a Gel Press print. I love making my own backgrounds on my Gel Press! I have SO many backgrounds that I have created and need to use them up and I thought it this card would be a good place to use one of my prints. Since the making of this background is not part of today's post I am linking other Gel Press video's for you here:

As a part of the August Stamp Set of the Month series I am also challenging myself to decorate the inside of each card I make. Take a look at the inside of today's card.
When you create a card do you also work on the inside of your cards? I'd love to know, leave me a comment below.
