Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 09/07/2021 for a chance to win.

I started by stamping the Wild Rose images with black ink, then used the Sunflower Field ink collection, for the color layering. I ink layered the leaves using the Tropical Forest Ink collection and then used Pink Diamond Ink for the pink leaves. This stamp set has a guide that shows you the order in which you stamp the layers.

I also used the leaf die and the smaller flower die to die cut some vellum. I used these as a layer, that I offset slightly behind the leaves and pink flowers.

I cut some strips of blue cardstock and adhered that to the center of a piece of white cardstock. I layered all of the flowers and leaves, some with foam tape for dimension. I stamped the sentiment with clear embossing ink and sprinkled on white embossing powder. I heated that until it was melted. I finished with a few drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White.
