My card will be sent to Amanda for our Teapot challenge. She has had a rough time medically and hopefully this will bring her some cheer. It also fits today's Color Challenge and the ABC G/Get Well challenge.
I used my Misti Mini to stamp my Altenew flowers and leaves with multiple colors of blue and green. I cut them out with coordinating Altenew dies. I added some black Stickles glitter, one of my favorite embellishments, to the center of several flowers. I embossed white and mint card stock, trimming down white to mimic Catherine's gold zig zag pattern behind her flowers. I stamped sentiment and cut out with Spellbinders oval die. I colored in leaves around sentiment with mint green Copic.
All the flowers and the sentiment were popped up with 3D dots. Then layered onto mint green cs and white card.

What a gorgeous blue flower, a little like a tree peony although the closed ones look like the way a hibiscus is furled up. Very clever use of the embossed background in two different colours, and what a lovely sentiment panel.
Absolutely magnificent masterpiece and full of gorgeousness Sis. Glad you went with a more complexed design then my simple one but that’s speaks well of our kind and loving Sis Catherine and wonderfully amazing mom!!!
This is so gorgeous and you now showed me how to use my Ef in another way.I love that sentiment too!!
