Recipe: Thank you

Ingredients:
Neenah Classic Crest Cover 100lb, Solar White/White or cardstock of choice
Black cardstock
Altenew Blooming Delight Stamp and Die Set
Altenew Garden Bouquet Stamp Set
Altenew Obsidian Ink
Altenew Artist Markers: Citrus Burst, Fresh Lemon, Honey Drizzle, Snapdragon, Sea Glass, Dusk, Desert
Night, Olive, Moss, Fire Fly and Grass Field
Foam tape

On white cardstock, stamp the floral from Blooming Delight. Color the small flowers with Sea Glass, Dusk and
Desert Night Artist Markers; use Fire Fly and Grass Field for the centers. For the large flower, use Citrus
Burst, Fresh Lemon and Honey Drizzle for the petals and Snapdragon for the center of the flower. Color
leaves and stems with Olive and Moss. For all, bottom (closer to the centers) of flowers and leaves (just laying
under the flower) should be darker, with the lighter colors being used to blend colors out to the edges/top of the
flowers and leaves. Die cut the floral once complete.
From white cardstock, cut a 4” x 5 ¼” panel. Across the top of the panel, adhere the die cut floral using foam
tape. Trim any part of the floral that hangs off of the panel. Stamp sentiment in black ink on the bottom left-
hand side of the panel. From black cardstock, cut a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” panel. Adhere panel to an A2 card base, then
adhere the floral panel on top of the black panel.

color the stamp with the Purple Wine and Crimson Watercolor Brush Markers, spray the stamp very lightly with
water and stamp flower on the lower left-hand side of the landscape panel- leave room for the leaves. Using
the second leaf stamp from Beautiful Day, and the Moss Watercolor Brush Marker, lightly spray the stamp with
water and stamp around the bottom left-hand edge of the card, surrounding the outer edge of the flower. With
white cardstock, die cut thanks die twice and adhere together. Color the die with Crimson and Purple Wine
Watercolor Brush Markers. Adhere the die on the upper right-hand side of card panel.

Aster and Crystal Violet. Place the Thanks die diagonally across the top third of the panel and die cut. Take
the die out of the panel, trim off the top of the die cut panel, you are leaving just enough of the negative portion
of the die cut section, to eventually nestle the Thanks die back into the negative space. Adhere the colored
panel onto a white A2 card base. Die cut the Thanks die from Brushed Silver cardstock. Nestle and adhere
the die cut into the negative space on the colored panel-the top third of the card will be white and the bottom
two thirds will be purple with the silver sentiment overlapping both the white and purple portions of the card
front.
