altenew for confirmation

The stars aligned. I needed to get a confirmation card made quickly. Then I stumbled across this amazing card. And then Altenew posted a new challenge photo. I didn't stop to think, I just did it! (Nike should be pleased, eh?)


This elegant inspiration led me to my choice of green embossing powder on pale yellow die cut florals. I used Altenew's Persian Motifs stamps and dies.


Die cut the florals. Heat embossed them. Chose a Lil Inkers Stitched Circle die to fit my card front and used it to arrange my layout of the die cuts. Glued them down then die cut the circle. Adhered it with foam to my card front. Added a die cut sentiment from Rayher - inspired by the white handwritten title on the inspiration photo - and a sprinkling of shiny sequins (inspired by the sparkling element on the gown).

Even gussied up the inside with another Persian Motif stamped in yellow and another Rayher die cut :)


I'm sharing my card at:
Stampin Royalty #332 - Flowers

Thanks for visiting today. Happy Friday.

Stunning card, Maria. The yellow CS with the green embossing is so simple, but so beautiful -- brilliant idea. I'm sure the confirmand will love this. Gorgeous. Bev

Very elegant yet refreshing tone. I have only white, clear & gold emobssing powders and your card really inspires me (to buy more embossing powders lol). Thank you for the link to the stamps. It's a long lasting issue that WP bloggers can't leave messages on Blogger, but thank you for finding me ;D Happy Friday.XXX
