Recipe: Love you

Ingredients:
Neenah Classic Crest Cover 100lb, Solar White/White or cardstock of choice
Grey cardstock, 80-100 lbs
Pattern paper of choice
Altenew Simple Frame Mask Stencil
Altenew Serene Blooms Stamp, Stencil & Die Set
Altenew Fresh Dye Inks: Sunkissed, Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze, Firebrick, Mossy Meadow, Green Opal,
Oak Moss, and Jet Black
Altenew Embossing Ink
Altenew Antique Gold Pigment Ink
Altenew Clear and Antique Gold Embossing Powders
Foam Tape

Instructions:
From Grey cardstock, create a 6 ¼” x 4 ½” card base. From white cardstock, cut a 4 ¼” x 5 ½”
panel.
Stencil the Simple Frame Mask in the center of the white card panel using Antique Gold Pigment Ink, set aside
to dry.
On a separate sheet of white cardstock, emboss the large floral from the Serene Blooms Stamp set with clear
embossing powder. Once cooled, use the layering stencil to color the large florals and leaves. Use Sunkissed,
Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze and Firebrick for the florals, transitioning from darkest at the base to lightest at
the end of the petals. Follow the same color blending/transitioning for the leaves using Mossy Meadow, Green
Opal and Oak Moss. Die cut the floral.
Die cut the water pitcher from Serene Blooms from patterned cardstock. Ink the entire pitcher with embossing
ink and emboss with clear and Antique Gold Embossing Powders-for a subtle glitter effect, I mixed roughly a
teaspoon of clear powder, sprinkled in the Antique Gold and mixed the two. Repeat the embossing process
two to three times.
Adhere the stenciled panel onto the grey card base, leaving a strip of grey cardstock open at the bottom for the
sentiment. With Jet Black ink, stamp the sentiment at the center of the grey strip. Arrange the die cut flowers
and pitcher onto the white card panel, mostly within the stenciled frame, allowing some portion of the pitcher,
flowers and leaves to go outside of the framed area. Adhere the floral die cut directly onto the panel. Adhere
the pitcher using foam tape.
