Hey there friends! I’m so excited to be joining in the Altenew June 2019 Stand-Alone Die New Release blog hop! If you started from the beginning of the hop you would have come from Emily Midgett’s Blog. If you’re just starting here, WELCOME. You can make your way around the entire hop by clicking the link at the bottom of my post.
I started my layout today by cutting the new Color Wheel Die three times using scrap paper. I then positioned those die cuts horizontally on a sheet of white cardstock. I then pulled a few mists from my stash that I thought would blend well together (a couple pinks, oranges and yellows) and started spraying the paper, so I essentially used the Color Wheel Die as a stencil. After I removed the scrap pieces of paper I had this really soft, pretty color on my background.
I then cut the Virginia Rose 3D Die multiple times using similar colors as the mists. I assembled the flowers and was AMAZED at the amount of texture those flowers have after they are put together. I especially love the layers that were cut using textured cardstock.
I arranged the flowers using the tone-on-tone technique with the mists. I almost wanted to stop there! HA! The colors and texture was just so pretty! I decided on a black and white photo so it wouldn’t compete with the colors I had on the layout. The photo is of my two dogs sleeping on the couch. We went from itty bitty Shih Tzus to these very large dog so we affectionately call them the “bigs”, so I used the title “My Bigs” for this layout using the Black Alphas from the Altenew Reflection Scrapbook Collection.
This layout was really easy to put together and it actually took my longer to assemble the flowers than it did the entire layout!
Now you can take look at my process video:

Bright and beautiful layout indeed!
Oooooooh – love those sleepy puppies – that is a great layout. They are truly living life on a bed of roses!
Striking layout and wonderful use of color. Beautiful.
Your layout is so cool: I like how you used it in the negative aspect to leave the white after misting the page. You Virginia Rose die cuts really do steal the show from your “Bigs” dogs! I agree that a black and white photo 📷 was crucial here; it really makes the page complete! Great job!
Love the bright colors behind the photo!
Wow! Such bright sunshiny colours! Love the flowers made with the Virginia rose die.
WOW! Your layout is spectacular, Kelly! I love the combination of the Color Wheel Die and the 3D Virginia Rose Die…the colors are so bright and beautiful! You have a real eye for color and design! Thanks for your wonderful inspiration!!

How cool to use the color wheel as a stencil! Great idea, and it looks fabulous as the backdrop for those gorgeous Virginia Rose flowers on your colorful layout. Love it!! Thanks for some great ideas.
What a beautiful layout! I, too, love the 3D flowers and would love to add the Virginia Rose to my collection! The dark green accents and black alphas look great with the bright flowers!
Fabulous layout for this cute photo. Love the vibrant colors.
You were brilliant to give your page texture by using the Color Wheel Die! Ingenious!!! I love the texture that it gave your page. The 3-D Roses are gorgeous with the colors you used. Great job!
Great design with this release…bright, bold, and of course the cute pooches are a great addition! Thank you for the inspiration!
