Sending Love and Prayers Vintage Garden Card

I'm sharing one final card that I made with Altenew's Vintage Garden stamp set here. This time I cut the large floral focal part apart so that I could tuck the pink flower behind the other two flowers. This allowed me to fit all three flowers on a 5 by 7 card base. 

I started by stamping and heat embossing the florals and leaves using Altenew's embossing ink and their Platinum embossing powder. Then I colored the leaves and flowers using my Ohuhu alcohol ink markers. 

I felt like the white card base was too stark to just add the flowers directly on it, so I added strips of Altenew's Our Family washi tape and then arranged the flowers and leaves how I wanted them. I used Glad Press N Seal to hold the arrangement together while I adhered each layer. 

For the sentiment, I stamped and heat embossed "Sending love and prayers" from Altenew's Blessings stamp set. The sentiment stamp actually says "Sending love and prayers for a blessed holiday season," but I was able to trim off the rest of the words. I added the sentiment using foam tape to finish the card.
