My card uses the Wild Hibiscus stamp set. I gold embossed the images
on watercolor card stock, then I used Altenew's dye inks to color them.
I used a forgiving technique to paint the images by brushing water inside
the embossed images, then dropping in color and letting it spread on its own.
After letting it air dry, I cut the panel and adhered it to a top folding card.
The sentiment was white embossed on a strip of black card stock and popped up
with dimensional adhesive. I finished off the card with some shiny gold sequins.
I'm the last blog for today's group of designers. The celebration continues
tomorrow at the Altenew blog. Happy hopping and happy shopping!
