Sunflower Daisy Thank You Card

I had so much fun creating this card with an older Altenew set that is now retired. I don't tend to use my layering stamps much now that I have so many layering die sets and layering stencil sets, but this thank you card is for a friend who told me her favorite flower is yellow daisies. I pulled out my Altenew Build-A-Flower: Sunflower Daisies set and stamped the flowers with inks from Altenew's Golden Sunset ink collection. I used Altenew's Delectable Desserts inks for the flower centers. Once I had stamped them, I die cut them and then decided on my card design.

I started with a side-folding white A2 card base and adhered a piece of watercolor paper I painted with inks from Altenew's Whispering Woodland ink colleciton. I smooshed the ink onto a piece of acetate and added some water so I could paint with the it. I let it dry and then spritzed the panel with more water to give it some texture. After adhering the watercolored panel to the card front, I cut the card front on the diagonal using my paper trimmer. Then I added 3 of the stamped and die cut flowers along the diagonal. I stamped 3 sentiments from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: The Afternoon Spread project kit (coming out on September 2nd) and added some gems in matching tones. 

For the inside of the card, I embossed an A2 panel of brown cardstock with Altenew's Daisies 3D embossing folder and then trimmed it to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 inches. I adhered it to the inside of the card, and it peeks out where the card front has been trimmed. I'll write my message to my friend on the back of the card.
