This course from Altenew is Easy Ink Blending. I looked forward to this one as I tend to struggle with the smooth blend of ink and which ink colors to use. I learned a lot!
For this card I chose the Altenew Spoon Daisy 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed dimension of this folder is just stunning. I pulled out my color cubes to get the inspiration for which colors to pick. I decided on Altenew’s Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields and Teal Cave, and added MFT’s Boysenberry. These colors were blended onto white cardstock using the Altenew medium blending brushes and the Ultra Sticky Mat.
I then embossed the blended panel, as well as, one cut out of white cardstock. I cut down the blended panel and placed it on top of the white embossed panel. The images “locked” into one another and then I glued them down.
I went over the raised areas with a white ink pad to enhance the embossed image. I popped up the embossed panel with foam tape and then added a simple hello sentiment to finish it off.
I used my Misti to plan out my card layout. I used 
To create the look that some flowers are behind others, you need to create and use masks. To do this, stamp onto a Post-It note and then cut close to the edge of the image. Place this over the “front” image and then stamp behind. Save these masks for future use. They can be used over and over. I put them on the page from the stamp set so it all stays together.
Using 
When assembling the card I used foam tape behind the center flower and doubled the foam tape behind the bees so they would stand out a little more. Yellow polka dotted background paper made the flowers pop. A couple iridescent sequins finished off the card nicely.
