EZ Arrangement: Garden Mix Birthday Postcard

Altenew is re-releasing a die set from one of their previous Cozy Comfort retreats, and I love all the pretty floral and foliage elements in the set. The set is called EZ Arrangement: Garden Mix, and I paired it here with a postcard die from Waffle Flower and a stamp set from Spellbinders. 

I started by creating a white A2 card base. Then I trimmed a panel of watercolor cardstock I had painted with Lindy's Flat Magicals: Creamsicle Orange. I adhered that to the card base using Altenew's double-sided adhesive sheets in the new 4.25 by 5.5 inch size. I just trimmed off the excess adhesive and adhered the panel to the card base. 

Next, I die cut the postage stamp die out of white cardstock. Then I chose a couple sentiments from Spellbinders' Parcel & Post Sentiments stamp set and stamped them on two sections of the postage die. I adhered the postage die to the card front using Bearly Art liquid glue. 

For the remaining sections of the postage die, I added flowers and foliage from Altenew's EZ Arrangement: Garden Mix die set. I die cut the flowers and foliage from watercolor cardstocks I had painted and ink smooshed for texture. Some of the flowers are popped up using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape, and some are adhered with Bearly Art liquid glue.
