A Golden Hello | Sunshine in my pocket

Hi there! I’m on Day 4 at the Altenew 3D Floral Focus class with a fun card share today! The topic was to use less layers of the die cuts to create a modern vibe.

Believe it or not, I was going for a modern look here, but it absolutely turned into FANCY! Lol. That happens sometimes.

Before I die cut the flowers, I ink blended some Distress Inks in ombre fashion onto some 80# cardstock, then I splattered some of the same color of paint and gold watercolor paint onto the panel. I then die cut some flowers, reserving the darker portion of the panel for the furthest back florals.

I layered them up, but I didn’t use a complete floral layer for each of them..only 2 or three layers each. After I found an arrangement I liked, I adhered them down with liquid adhesive and splattered the entire panel with gold watercolor paint.

I die cut the hello sentiment out of gold foil paper and adhered it to the center of the card. Only two corners got the corner-rounded treatment before I added the entire panel to a gold glitter 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2 panel. Then the whole thing was added to a 110# card base.

I absolutely love how it turned out, but it really took on a life of it’s own!

For the colors of this card, I was inspired by the photo below, so I’m also entering the June Altenew Challenge with this card.
