This July my sister and brother-in-law will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, so I wanted to make them a special card. I pulled out a few Altenew sets: Craft-A-Flower: Daisies, Craft-Your-Life: Vintage Tapestry (I used the embossing folder from that set for the green background panel), and "happy" from Craft-Your-Life: Bewitching Rose and "anniversary" from Craft-Your-Life: Bold Bouquet. After stamping, die cutting, and embossing all the pieces, I mounted the flowers with foam tape and the green panel with Art Glitter glue and adhered the panel to a 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch kraft card base. I used vellum and water color card stock for this card, and I've been having fun using water colors, ink smooshing, and shimmer sprays to make my own colored card stocks. They have more texture that way, and in this case the green background has some nice shimmer to it that isn't really captured in the photos. I also ended up going over the red daisy with an Ohuhu alcohol ink marker to get the color I wanted here.
