Here’s my card giving thanks for Parents.

I created this card using the following products:
- File Tulle Stencil
- Fancy Thanks Die
- Build-a-Flower: Tree Peony
- Antique Gold Sequins
- Watercolor Brush Markers: Sunkissed and Autumn Blaze
- Obsidian Pigment Ink
- Crystal Clear Embossing Powder
- must-have Gel Pen Set
- Small Blending Brush
Here is the process:
- Stamp flower with Obsidian Pigment Ink
- Heat emboss using Cyrstal Clear Embossing Powder
- Using Watercolor Brush Markers, drop in color from Sunkissed and Autumn Blaze
- Stamp the leaves and small stem with Obsidian ink
- Die cut the flower, leaves, and small stem
- Using Citrus Burst Crisp Dye ink and a small blending brush, add color onto the card front concentrating the color from the lower left to the upper right
- Attach the leaves, stem, and flower to the card front
- Die cut 3 Fancy Thanks die pieces and glue them together
- Add the Fancy Thanks to the card
- Add Antique Gold sequins as desired
- Using the white Gel Pen, add dots to flower stamen
- Add card front to card base

I love the pop of color with your tree peony and your use of black and white to set it off! The Altenew Card Drive is great, so many seniors are isolated due to health issues and Covid concerns…
