I love this sketch and after semi completing 2 other cards using this sketch, I settled on this. It'll be perfect for a dear friends birthday this week.
Some of you may recognize the watercolored florals on the panels, they were from a previous challenge a couple of weeks back. They've been sitting on my VERY CLUTTERED craft table.
*Embossed my card base and panels w/AG ef
*Attached to AG cs gold mats with ATG
*Heat embossed sentiment on thin strip of same gold cs
*Used foam tape on middle panel and center flower

I absolutely love what you have done with this Altenew stamp set. You gave it new life by embossing it and water coloring it. I love the vintage embossing folder you used on the background that gives this card a wonderful vintage feel. Your friend is going to LOVE this card. ~Karen.

Oh, Deborah! I LOVE this, and it is gorgeous! I love the rich texture and almost vintage feel to it, and I love the gold! The flowers are beautifully colored, and I love how you've cut them out and layered them on the layers for the sketch! Beautiful take on this week's sketch! I am just so PROUD of you, sweet friend! It's a joy to see you doing the challenges and nailing them! Sending hugaroonies, to my sweet friend! xoxo
