I recently purchased Altenew's Parchment Bouquet die set, and I thought it would be perfect for creating a wedding card I need for this weekend.
I started my card by embossing white cardstock with Altenew's Magnolia Dreams 3D embossing folder. Then I used the coordinating stencils to color just the leaves and the centers of the flowers. I thought leaving them white worked well for a wedding card.
After finishing the background panel, I die cut all the pieces from Altenew's Parchment Bouquet die set out of yellow, white, vellum, and green cardstock I had watercolored using Altenew's Watercolor 36 Pan Set. I assembled all the tiny pieces and then added the bouquet to the background using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I then added a panel of yellow fun foam to a top-folding yellow card base and adhered the embossed panel to the fun foam for dimension.
I heat embossed the "congrats" sentiment using a stamp from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Splendid Bouquet set and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I added it to the card panel using more of Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the floral stamp from the same Splendid Bouquet set and then added the "love never fails" sentiment from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Never Stop Dreaming project kit. To finish the inside, I added a few hearts from Altenew's Whispering Woodlands Enamel Dot set.
