Fuits & Florals Thanks A Bunch Card

I recently attended an Altenew Educator Workshop led by my friend Ishani S during which we made 3 cards using Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Fruits and Flowers set. This card was one of the three cards I made, and I love the bright colors!

I started by die cutting the little fruits and fruit bowl from the project kit. Then I ink blended them with a variety of Altenew inks. I arranged the fruit in the base of the fruit bowl and then adhered the front part of the bowl with liquid glue on only the edges so that the bowl looks a bit rounded and the fruit fits in nicely. 

Then I embossed a panel of navy blue cardstock using the 3D embossing folder that comes in the Fruits & Flowers kit. Next, I trimmed a piece of yellow cardstock to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8-inches and stenciled the floral image in the background using the stencil set that is also part of the kit. It's a very versatile kit with lots of great stamps, dies, stencils along with the fun embossing folder!

Once my white pigment ink was dry on the stenciled flowers, I added pearls to the flower centers and then trimmed my navy blue embossed panel the way I wanted it to be on the yellow panel. I added my fruit bowl and then 2 small die cut flowers from Altenew's Creative Cuts: In the Woods set. 

To finish the card, I stamped my "thanks a bunch" sentiment (also from the same Fruits & Flowers kit) directly onto the panel. Then I adhered the panel to a white, top-folding A2 card base.
