Dolly showed up with a beautiful set of images from Altenew for me ... Fragrant Florals. It included matching stamp, die, embossing folder, and layering stencils. I made the card above using just the embossing folder and layering stencils and I'm looking forward to playing soon with the stamp and die! :)
After I finished sponging through the stencils onto the embossed image, I took a SU! marker (early espresso) and drew in the branches and stamens. And I used diluted distress ink (Mowed Lawn) and a fine paint brush to draw in the embossed veins on the leaves. These little additions made a big difference. :)
Thank you Dolly, for this beautiful set. I am going to have loads of fun making many cards with it!! And thank you for the visit, I had such a great time!! :)
