Altenew December 2020 Inspiration Challenge - A Year In Review

Here is Altenew December 2020 Inspiration Challenge - A Year In Review, below are the challenge photos:

 

Here is the card I made which is inspired by the colors in March 2020:

I used Altenew's Beautiful Bergenia 3D embossing folder to dry emboss the white cardstock. Then I picked my blending brush to lightly blend in purple, blue, and green Distress Oxide inks on the embossed images. I white embossed "Thank you" (from Altenew's Paint-A-Flower: Calla Lily stamp set) on black cardstock and attached it on the background with foam tapes. Finish the card by dropping some glitter glue on the center of flowers. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI, Stampin' Up

Ink Pads: Distress Oxide inks, Versamark

Stamps: Altenew

Embossing Folder: Altenew

Others: blending brush, white embossing powder, glitter glue, foam tapes
