Miss You Always

I drew inspiration from several challenges for today's card, but my main inspiration was a friend that lives back home in Indiana that I haven't seen in over a year. I miss her terribly and wanted to send her something to let her know I was thinking about her.

This is a fairly simple and straight forward design, but the layering stamps I used make it look so elegant with little effort. I can't recommend Altenew's stamps enough; they're absolutely wonderful! The particular stamp set I used for this card was a collaboration between Altenew and Simon Says Stamp for this year's Stamptember release. I simply stamped the flowers and leaves in each of the layers with different shades of ink in order to create those gorgeous flowers. I finished my panel by heat embossing the sentiment in gold and adding a few gold sequins. I adhered the panel to the base with foam tape for some dimension.

I'm entering this card into four separate challenges -
