For my card I made my own stencil with an Altenew cover die.
I started by using my homemade stencil to blend the blue inks from Lapis Lazuli inks to make my background. I stamped the leaves from Altenew's Wallpaper Art set in Obsidian black ink. OMG this ink is stunning. The coverage is incredible. I also added some fine splatters with black ink. I stamped one of the flowers from the Wallpaper Art set onto some watercolour paper and used the inks to colour it. I deepen the shadows with a Prismacolor pencil. I fussy cut the flower and added it over the leaves. The sentiment is from Altenew's Leaf Canopy set. A few blue enamel dots finished the card. I heard from Suna to say she got the card and loved it. Always a bonus when the recipient likes your card.
Off to see my little one later today. Can't wait.
