Welcome to the Altenew hop! It has been pretty snowy and cold here in New England. I have been waiting for Narcissus to pop up in my yard as they are the harbingers of spring in New England. If you are hopping along,  you have just come from the truly inspiring work of Reiko Tsuchida. Your next stop is my fellow New England Crafty Girl, Bridget Casey. If you get lost along the way, visit the Altenew Card Blog for more information. I'd love for you to check out my card design today. Let me know what you think about this month's Build a Flower, Narcissus. 

Hello! it is the first of the month and you know what that means! A new Build-A-Flower release from Altenew. This month is the Laelia Orchid which is a stunning flower which I thought was best on a slimline card. If you are hopping along you came from everybody's favorite crafter, Erum Tasneem. Your next stop is my fellow crafty Altenew Educator, Colleen Balija. 
Altenew generously supplied this stamp set for me so I could share inspiration with you. Please read on for how I used the Laelia to make a delicate and pastel slim line card.
