Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Here is Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes, below is the challenge photo:

And here is the card I made to attend this challenge:

I was inspired by Jaycee from Altenew on this 3D embossing folder technique to make my card. I used Altenew's Peony Sunshine 3D embossing folder with Altenew inks to make the purple embossed peony on white cardstock. Then I used MFT's "Hugs" die to cut three sets of hugs on white cardstock. I put the hugs in the 3D embossing folder and apply inks on embossing folder and dry embossed the letters. I matched the peony's pattern and attached "hugs" on the peony. I stamped "I'm here for you" from MFT's Essential Sentiments stamp set. Finish the card by randomly dripping some purple inks on the background. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: MFT, Stampin' Up

Ink Pads: Altenew
