I wish everyone at Altenew a very happy anniversary! 8 years is quite an accomplishment. To celebrate , the guest designers are having a fun blog hop!

Before I share my card, this is what my hand looks like. I had surgery last week because of a staph infection in my knuckle. My Doc said it was pretty bad. I’ve been getting IV antibiotic treatments every day since March 29th. I’ll be getting at least 3 weeks of treatments. My hand surgeon is planning a 2nd surgery on this coming Monday. I’m typing this up left handed. Unfortunately, I am not very coordinated with my left hand so it’s a slow process.

Now for the fun part! Let’s celebrate!

Here’s my CAS (clean & simple) card.

For the background, I used the Curving Leaves 3D embossing folder. After I ran the A2 sized card stock through my machine, I used the direct to paper technique to lightly add color onto the background.

The floral image is from the Here for You stamp set. I used Altenew’s Crisp Dye Inks to watercolor the image by smooshing ink onto a clear stamping block & adding a small amount of water. Then I used a paint brush to color the flower.

I didn’t add much shading since it’s more of a graphic image.
