Hello everyone. Welcome to the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Cistus Layering Die Set & Gradient Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Lilith’s blog. This Craft-A-Flower Cistus is truly my favorite. I love the petals on this flower and the easy for assembly.
Altenew is also releasing gorgeous gradient card stock that works perfectly with your Craft-A-Flower dies. I did not use the gradient card stock today. Instead I created my pretty colors by using the Altenew Watercolor palette.
Using my palette I was able to create several beautiful shades of pinks and greens for my card today.
Keeping the card clean and simple, I used the Altenew Enchanting Vines 3d embossing folder with white card stock. A simple sentiment across my card base with a black mat and my card was complete.

![Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete my holiday card series this year. The strain of sitting in my craft room for long periods of time is causing my back to endure more pain. In August I had my second back surgery in 18 months and was hopeful that my back pain would be resolved. My healing process has been a LOT SLOWER than I had anticipated and while trying to rush back to crafting, I am not doing my body any good.
With that being said, I am trying to keep my spirits positive and create the best I can right now. That means limiting my time in my room and resting my body. On top of everything I ended up with Covid a month ago and I still have lingering side effects. However I have a strong faith and I know this is just a hiccup in the road of life. Things will be better, my body will heal and I will be refreshed to return to the crafting I have loved for over 20 years. Feel free to catch up on my precious holiday card series in my playlist to keep you going on your holiday cards. Link In bio.
I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and let's bring in the New Year healthy! Until then, stay safe and I'll see you back here soon!
P.S. I did try Amber's @ [17841400753513434:@damasklove] felt holiday wreath while sitting on the couch. Oh SOOO cozy!
