How to create a simple layered flower look:
To create the layout, I started by die-cutting various flower and leaf shapes from leftover pieces of cardstock and patterned paper. I had lots of 6×6 Altenew Paper Pack scraps and I don't like throwing them away so die-cutting is a great way to use up those leftover bits and bobs.
Once I had finished cutting out all my pieces, I created the background. I used an 8.5″ by 11″ white cardstock and used Altenew Artist Markers to create a striped pattern. I love using this technique in my background. Instead of artist markers, why not try watercolors or the Altenew Watercolor Pencils?
Once I had my backdrop done, I placed a piece of embossed white cardstock which was in my “to use” bowl, and added the floral elements. I constructed two clusters. One with yellow and orange tones to match the yellow of the artist marker and another with pink/blue tones. I opted to use a black and white photo as it will not clash with the colors chosen for the layout and at the same time, it will add contrast to the page.
This layering set is such a fun set to use. You can check out this post showing how this set can be used to create individual layered flowers.
