Bearded Iris In Our Prayers Card

Yesterday a good friend texted to ask me to pray for her mom whose cancer may be back after a 12-year remission. I immediately prayed for her and then made her a special card that I mailed out today. 

To create the card, I started by making a white, top-folding A2 card base. Then I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to fit the front of the card and ink blended it with Altenew's Sunkissed Crisp Dye Ink. I then put Altenew's Linked Spots and Dots stencil over the panel in my splatter box and sprayed Altenew's Sunkissed Metallic Shimmer Spray over the stencil. I let that dry while working on the stamped and die cut iris from Altenew's Build-A-Flower: Bearded Iris set. Once the panel I had sprayed was dry, I added the flower and leaf to the panel using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape. Then I stamped the "you're in our prayers" sentiment from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Flourishing Garden set and trimmed it to fit where I wanted to put my sentiment. I added a few gem sparkles from Altenew's Smoky Quartz Gem Sparkles set to finish off the front of the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped "sending love and hugs" from the same Flourishing Garden set and then trimmed the sentiment and adhered it to the inside of my card. I added a die cut from Altenew's Zero Waste: Berries & Branches set that I had die cut in white cardstock and ink blended with more of the Sunkissed Crisp Dye Ink.
