 Hello, crafty friends!
Today I'd like to share with you flower card for current Altenew's inspiration challenge.


You are so beautiful inside and out.
You make me happy.
Thank you so much and... I love you❤
(The meaning of Korean sentiment)

First, I created my own background using zig clean color brush markers and water brush.
I love how feeling of Korean traditional painting turned out. The colors I used are 'pink', 'light gray', 'gray' and 'black'.
I stamped flower and leaves from Altenew's Wild hibiscus stamp set and setiments from Oriental orchid stamp set. After stamping, I add colors to edge of flower and leaves for pop up effect and cut out with square die.
Lastly, I mounted watercolor panel on white card base with double-sided tape ( in-square image) and foam tape (negative die cut panel).


I really like pink to gray color scheme of this month.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Dana.
