True Beauty| Bold Blossom| Altenew

Hi Friends,

Made a floral card today using Altenew’s Bold Blossom. The colors are inspired from current challenge of Altenew .

Over to my card,

  • To start off, I stamped the Altenew Bold blossom rose and leaves onto Neenah solar crest white cardstock using Antique linen Distress ink.
  • Then colored using the copics for a Noline coloring look.
  • Fussy cut the florals and added to a off white A2 sized top fold cardbase over a few olive green card strips accents using foam adhesives.
  • Splashed generously the coloured images with White gouache for added interest before foam mounting it.

Hope you like the card.
