Craft-A-Flower: Cosmos Slimline Card

I recently purchased Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: Cosmos layering die set, and I've been having fun playing with it! I just love the Craft-A-Flower series, and these Cosmos flowers are so pretty and easy to put together.

For this slimline card, I started by making a slimline card base and then trimming a panel of pink card stock for a base layer and a panel of white card stock to add the flowers to. I splattered the panel with pink, yellow, and orange water colors using my Altenew water color brush markers and let the panel dry. Then I die cut all the layers for three Cosmos flowers and their stems and leaves. I also die cut the word "Hugs" from Altenew's Watercolor Roses set, die cutting 4 layers of the word and glueing them together to add some dimension. For the flowers, I added foam tape between the first and second layer of the flowers and really like how that turned out. The card stocks I used for the flowers and foliage were ones I had made with ink smooshing, sprays, and water coloring, so they have some fun textures. 

When the splattered panel was dry, I arranged the flowers how I wanted them and glued everything down. Then I added the sentiment. I glued all the layers to the card base.
