Happy birthday, Melissa!

 I made this card over a month ago for a cardmaking friend, Melissa! Seeing as she has it now, I can share it here! 

I used the Delicate Outline Flowers background stamp from Simon Says Stamp (sadly, discontinued) and dies also from Simon along with Altenew watercolours.

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.
