Hello, my friends! After a whirlwind trip around Lake Erie, with a two night stay in Buffalo, we're home again! Just in time to send card #2 to
Remember these darling Bamboo roses? I stamped and clear embossed a few,
water colored them using Altenew's Red Cosmos and Field Greens inks!
A few more of my favorite Altenew sets came out to play:
Rounded Rectangle dies, Dotted Starburst Debossing cover die, and Label dies.
Finally, a fun sentiment from Floral Sprig - another graduation card done!
I created my wash-y background by first giving my panel a watery wash of
greens from Field Greens inks, and then after drying I debossed the panel, and blended again with Rustic Wilderness distress oxide ink, setting the ink with Distress glaze. My roses were popped up, and card two is done!
Thanks for stopping by today - and for all your kind words!
