Beautiful card. Love it with the leaf frame cover die. What flower would I like to see next as a BAF set? Hmm. I love the lilies they have done so far, so maybe a Tiger Lily?

Beautiful card and I love how your mum looks against that gorgeous, vibrant background. Great contrast with the leafy frame. Altenew already has so many stamps of some of my favourite flowers – sweet peas, morning glories, peonies, poppies… One thing I would love to see, if they don’t have it already, maybe something else – one of my favourite childhood memories is climbing over the schoolyard fence into the woods behind and picking wild strawberries – I love the look of the plants, and the flowers, as well as the small juicy berries – I would love to see a berry stamp set with the foliage, flowers, running vines, and the berries. Not just strawberries either.

Such a bright sunny looking card with the yellow to orange blended background Zinia. Good to see on these cloudy, rainy days of winter. I’ve not been a carder a long time & only discovered Altenew a year ago, so maybe it’s already been done as a build a flower stamp set, but, I’d like to see a rhododendron flower & leaf & bit of stem. Thanks!
