Grateful for You

I have been playing with a new stamp from Altenew - Japanese Mum. It is a four layer stamp - and definitely one of the more difficult layering stamps I have used. Both the flower and the leaf require four layers... 

Purple was my colour of choice for this card. I set the flowers and leaves on a woodgrain background and AFTER they were adhered, along with the sentiment, then I decided I wanted to splatter the background. I created masks for every image and with all of them covered, I splattered the woodgrain paper with the Charcoal Shimmer Brush. The background was adhered to a card base using craft foam and I outlined the raised piece with a black journaling pen. A few glitter gems were added next to the sentiment.
