Hello Card in Red

In a recent challenge on the FB Altenew Fan Group, we were challenged to create a card with a red motif. Challenge accepted! 😁I took out my Altenew Craft-Your-Life Magnolia & Blooms set and stamped the large floral focal point in black. Then I used several shades of red to color it in using the coordinating stencils. I die cut the image and then ran it through with the embossing folder. Then I embossed a red panel with the same image but going in the opposite direction and colored the raised parts of the panel using an Ohuhu alcohol ink marker. It was surprisingly easy to color! I set the embossed and stenciled panel on the red embossed background to get an idea of where to stamp the "hello" sentiment and then stamped the sentiment and adhered the stamped and colored piece using foam tape. I added some red gems in two shades of red to finish this A2 card.
