You're Incredible Southern Magnolia Card

Recently I needed a card for a special woman who made all the pies for my daughter's wedding. Pam not only made all the pies for free, but she also helped with set up and clean up for the wedding. She's like a second mom to my son-in-law and was just a joy to get to know as we worked together on wedding stuff. 

To make Pam's card, I decided to use the colors in Altenew's monthly challenge because I just love the combination this month so much! I recently purchased Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: Southern Magnolia set, and I die cut the leaves and flower centers out of some yellow card stock I had colored with a shimmer spray. Then I die cut the flower petals out Yuppo paper I had used a few shades of pink alcohol inks on. I assembled the flowers and used some foam tape for dimension in a few layers.

For the background, I trimmed some paper I had done some ink smooshing and spraying on with shades of orange to fit an A2 card base, and then I embossed the panel using Altenew's Garden Harmony embossing folder. Then I did a little tone-on-tone taco stamping with a rubber stamp that has French script on it. I think if I try that again I will use a darker shade of ink because it's barely visible, but there's already a lot going on here, so it's ok that the script is subtle.

 

To finish the card, I stamped "You're incredible" from Altenew's Paint-A-Flower: China Rose and fussy cut it then adhered it with foam tape.
