One of my husband's aunts recently was diagnosed with lymphoma, and I wanted to make a card to let her know we are praying for her in this cancer journey.
To make the card, I die cut the petals and leaves from Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: Southern Magnolia set as well as some foliage from Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: Cosmos set using different card stocks I had watercolored and sprayed, Yuppo papers I had used alcohol inks on, and glitter card stock for the die cuts. Then I stamped "praying for" and "you" on two of the leaves from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life Casual Bouquets set. Origianally all the leaves were die cut from some yellow card stock I had sprayed with Hero Arts Bright Yellow + Copper Metallic Spray (I love this stuff!), but the ones on the yellow background didn't show up very well, so I ink blended some of Altenew's Orange Cream ink over the yellow leaves.
For the background, I ink blended some Altenew inks onto an A2 panel and then sprayed some shimmer spray onto the panel and let it dry. Then I decided where I wanted to arrange all the elements onto the panel and adhered them using Art Glitter glue and some foam tape.
