Altenew Ambassador

 I'm excited to share that I will be sharing more Altenew projects for the next few months as an Altenew Ambassador! 

 For this card, I used the Lovely Rose Peony stamp set and coordinating stencils on this card. I used Worn Lipstick and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink on the flowers, Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn on the leaves, and Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers on the Vase. I use Peacock Feathers on the background as well - I stamped the outline floral image to add some interest to the background. The sentiment is from the Billowing Peonies stamp set, white embossed onto black cardstock. I added a black and white layered mat behind the floral to provide a visual break between the main image and the background.
