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!
Meet Expressive Flora:
After getting really comfortable and finding 'my way' I spread my wings
and decided to have a bit of fun with the background layer - #6 in the order
of stenciling quickly became #1 for me as it allowed the 'shift' in their instructions
to make perfect sense to my brain.
With a very simple [unnamed] basket weave sandwiched with that background, I achieved this:
Here's that aforementioned sandwich:
Then this:
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...

Grrrr. Really! I looked straight past this kit with an eye roll until my eyeballs popped out of my head when your yellow and grey confection appeared on the Altenew fan fb group! Now I have to go buy it. Thanks!!! Another item I really need 😜 seriously gorgeous, Michele!

I am so impressed, Michele! My mind is still trying to get around that sandwich. So many beautiful ways to use this stencil and I love every one!
Wow! I would say that bundle is lucky to be in your crafty hands! I love the different color combos and how you added the grid/graph pattern is genius! I'm tempted to buy the series but I'm sure it would just sit pretty in the Altenew box. I'll just enjoy your cards for now ; )
Wow these are beautiful Michele. I love the way you did the last two with basket weave "sandwiched" background. The gray & yellow color combo is perfect. Yes, I think you made a good decision, although I am with you, what do I need another floral stamp/die set for. Most of mine are that, but I love them all.
Wow! You nailed this stencil! Amazing eye candy in this post 🤩
Oh my goodness! These are stunning, Michele. I think you were spot on with this purchase. You get to play with colors and textures and be your wonderfully creative artistic self. Wow!
Wow!! All four of these cards are super stunning. Yes, you needed another floral stencil set, Michele. What wonderful eye candy these are!
These cards are absolutely stunning!!Thank you for sharing .
I saw Jennifer use that set and was smitten but thought I didn't need any more flowers. I didn't realize you could only get it through the subscription. You've used so many different colors for the flowers and leaves and all of them are beautiful, Michele. I also like that you can do something different with the background.
WOW, I am totally impressed with ALL the beautiful cards and also what a brainstorm to create the background, I'll have to give that a try if I have the nerve lol!! Anyhow, I don't blame you joining to get the beautiful stencil, you will get many uses out of it for sure!!
Wowie! You've already gotten your money's worth out of this kit! What a fabulously gorgeous line up of creatively crafted cards!
I buckled up, snuggled in on this rainy gloomy day and drank in every bit of PRETTINESS!! Love the gray and yellow version!
What a feast for the eyes. I look forward to seeing more xx
These are four STUNNING cards made with your stencils alone! Really amazing colors and and card - wow!
Wow! So owonderfully eye-catching Michele! I love the variation in colour combos and the background! Super special! Love them all! :)
This set definitely landed in the right hands Michele as all 4 of your cards are absolutely GORGEOUS and all frame worthy! I love all the color combinations and especially am loving the background with the basket weave stencil...soooo pretty!! I really didn't want this post to end as each card got prettier and prettier! I will definitely want to play with this set when we get together is a couple weeks!! Hugs. :0)
My goodness, these are so amazing. Good move to subscribe. Your cards are stunning as always. Wonderful color combinations and the sandwich!!!
Well that stencil is a stunner and it looks fab in each and every colourway. I love the hatched design on layer 6 too - genius! That subscription was definitely worthwhile!
