And our very own Erica is sharing this GORGEOUS card!
For this card, which is a lot bigger than our usual A2/5.5"x4.25" card, I used the lovely Beautiful Day stamp set and the coordinating die. Instead of colouring them with water colours, Artist Markers or other type of medium, I decided to do some stamp layering.
With the help of some yummy Altenew inks, from the Warm & Cozy bundle(which you can get in both the mini cubes and separate oval ink pads Sunkissed, Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze and Firebrick) as well as Sand Dunes and Rocky Shores from the Coffee Break bundle.
Instead of using the darker ink to stamp the outline, I used Altenew embossing powder in Antique Gold, Copper and Rose Gold. It gave all the flowers a very nice little something extra.
After adhering the vanilla panel to the card base, I used that as a guide and placed the flowers in a framed way around the edge. With some Post-It tape (you can use Press'n'Seal to make things easier) I taped them all tougher and turned the whole thing over. I cut some foam tape out and added that to the back, to raise the whole thing up.
On a slim strip of black card stock I heat embossed the word 'anniversary' from the Mega Succulent stamp set. I used Antique Gold again as I had the idea to line the strip with gold card stock too. To finish off the sentiment I diecut 'happy' out of black and gold card stock. These I layered up with with black on the bottom, to shadow it.
With all these pieces ready, it was time to put the whole thing together! Which took barely any time at all given that all the bits and pieces were finished. Ta-da!
