The gardenia layers were die cut from red and white cardstock then ink blended with red and/or gray crisp dye inks for shading.
ALT products used:
▪️Rows of Squares embossing folder (EF)
▪️Red Cosmos.crisp dye inks
▪️Rock Collection crisp dye inks
The leaves were die cut from light gray cardstock and coloured with cool gray Copic Sketch markers C1/4/6/8. Kept them gray and close to the background so the gardenias can shine. 😉 The background is dark gray cardstock embossed with the EF. Arranged and glued the floral arrangement on the debossed side then splattered with diluted white gouache paint for some texture. Added the white heat embossed die cut sentiment to finish.
A quick reminder that my giveaway on Instagram for two-$15 gift cards to ALT ends tomorrow on October 24, 2024. Please note: affiliate links were used in this post when possibkd at no extra cost to you. Thank you for stopping by.
