We have a new sponsor, Altenew, for this challenge! A randomly selected participant will receive a stamp set of choice from the Altenew shop, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!
For today's card I worked with Altenew's stunning Peony Scrolls stamp set. Love these gorgeous florals! I stamped some flowers and leaves on watercolor paper, heat embossed in white, then colored with a mix of cool and warm grays using Tombow markers and a water brush.
I trimmed them out tight up against the white embossed outline, then arranged them onto a panel stamped with some light khaki scrolls. I played up the neutrals by layering three different neutrals plus some vellum. The sentiment is from Quilled Elegance.
Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!
