I immediately fell in love with this kit when I opened it. The first thing I had to try was the embossing folder. It reminded me so much of Stargazer Lilies that I just wanted to recreate those beautiful flowers. Inks used were from the Spring Bouquet set and Alcohol markers.

Then using the die I was able to glue it down onto a light pink cardstock that I had randomly smooshed the Dainty Swiss Dot Background stamp.

Still using the embossing folder I then grabbed my brayer and began to experiment with Glacier Caves ink set.

This next card was a result of the previous card. I used the scrap piece of cardstock that I was using to clean my brayer as the background. I didn’t want it to go to waste so I used some white pigment ink with the stencil and I must say I really liked how this one turned out.

This got me thinking…

What if I try using Altenew’s mixed media inks on black cardstock? Using the stamp with white pigment ink I then got the stencils out again.

And this was the result! Beautiful, soft and delicate!

Finally I also made another card using alcohol markers and coordinating inks with a gel plate.
I hope you have enjoyed my take on Altenew’s CYLPK Feathered Lilies and that you get the opportunity to experiment with this lovely set.
