A deep dive!

I recently subscribed to Altenew's Craft Your Life series... how I would need another floral set is beyond my comprehension, but when I saw this stencil [and learned this was the only way I could make it my own, I caved.  Buckle up, my friends!  This is a long one!

and decided to have a bit of fun with the background layer - #6 in the order

With a very simple [unnamed] basket weave sandwiched with that background, I achieved this:

Here's that aforementioned sandwich:

and one more to fill another square in my Altenew Fan Club Crafting Bingo!

Thanks so much for stopping by - do you agree that I made the right decision on that purchase? lol  And there is a stamp & die set, and embossing folder yet to play with!

I'll be back...
