Altenew Crafting With Seasons Challenge

Here is Altenew's Crafting With Seasons Challenge - a cardmaking challenge with Altenew's Fresh Dye Inks. Below is the challenge photo:

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

Summer is my favorite season because many bold-colored flowers bloom, and I can enjoy my beloved shaved ice in different flavors. I created this card using Altenew's Mixed Blooms die, stencils, and a 3D embossing folder on vellum. After die-cutting the floral image, I used a blending tool to apply Altenew's Fresh Dye Inks to the back of the vellum. Then, I placed the colored vellum into the 3D embossing folder to dry emboss it. For the background, I used Altenew's Dotted Lines debossing cover die to create a textured white backdrop. To add dimension, I used foam tape behind the stitched rectangle border, the greeting (from Altenew's Splendid Bouquet die set), and the clear enamel dots to lift the vellum image above the white debossed background. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: Neenah, MFT

Ink Pads: Altenew Fresh Dye inks, Versamark

Stamps: Altenew

Dies: Altenew

Stencils: Altenew

3D Embossing Folder: Altenew
