To make this "thinking of you" card, I embossed an A2 panel with Altenew's Linen embossing folder after doing some ink blending with shades of pink. I stamped the "thinking of you" and "consider this card a big hug" sentiments (from Altenew's Craft Your Life: Flourishing Garden set) in a dark pink and trimmed the sentiment strips to fit on a diagonal. I also die cut a tiny butterfly and ink blended it to add to the top left of the card.
For the floral focal point, I used Altenew's Watercolor Roses stencil and die set. I adhered the flowers with foam tape and added 3 gems to complete the card.
