I am still really enjoying the techniques I learned over at Altenew Academy Beyond Basic Backgrounds class so decided to use a die to create my own stencil and ink blend a card. I also decided to use the dark pink, pink and light green color scheme of Altenew's September Inspiration Challenge on one of the cards.     Supplies used: Stamps: Ink Road Stamps' Lit AF stamp set (retired) Dies: Gina K Design's Master Layout 2 die set , Altenew's Leaf Mix and Tropical Leaf Mix die sets,  Altenew's Tiny Sentiments: Hello Die Paper: Watercolor paper, Idea-ology's Tim Holtz Jewels Metallic Kraft Stock Ink: Altenew's Red Cosmos dye ink set (Grapevine, Ruby Red, Coral Berry and Frosty Pink inks), Catherine Pooler's Party Dress and Sea Glass
