This little A2 sized card has been stamped with the Vintage Flowers stamp set from Altenew and I got mine from Make the Day Special
It has a matching die set for you to cut the flowers, leaves and branch out perfectly for you each time.
But for this card I stamped directly to card.
Once I had the flowers in place I stamped my sentiment, in black ink, over the top of them, and then heat embossed it in clear powder.
The stamped words are Grand Sentiments by My Favorite Things also from MTDS
I inked around the edges of the card with Salty Ocean Distress Inks fading it in towards the centre for a Vignette look
The white satin ribbon is from Mei Flower ribbon and a little acrylic flower from Wild Orchid Crafts to the bow are all I have added.
I know this is not my usual style but it does you good every so often to play with other ideas and keep your mind active and fresh.
More tomorrow ...

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! I'm saving up to get some Altenew stamps as I'm fascinated by the layered stamping method and really want to give it a try. This is a nice colourful card for such a dismal, wet, grey and windy day :)
