Hello Friend

Hello friends,
Today I have a card to share based on the current challenge at Altenew and this is also my Guest Design Post for the Tic Tac Toe challenge. Here's a look at my card :

Here's a side view which shows the layers of my card pretty well.

To create my card I first die cut a card panel using the largest of my Stitched Rectangles die from a Kraft paper, then I die cut some square frames using various sizes of the Spellbinders Square Nesting dies and I slightly colored them using Red Cosmos ink cubes set from Altenew. 
I glued these squares on my card base creating a geometric grid like pattern. Then I stamped my flowers, leaves and foliage from two different Altenew stamps- Peony Bouquet & Vintage Flowers and gold heat embossed them. The flowers and leaves are all colored by using various Altenew Crisp inks - Red Cosmos & Green Fields ink cubes set using a Inkessentials foam applicator to give them two- tone shading. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set - All Occasion Messages set and I stamped it on a piece of card stock using Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut it in a banner shape and colored it lightly using Altenew- Forest Glades ink and  a Inkessentails foam applicator. It was then foam mounted on the square frame.

The colors and the design of my card is inspired from the current challenge at Altenew. I tried to incorporate the maze garden in my card by creating a geometric background and have shaded my flowers using two shades of pink to incorporate the colors too.

The stamped and embossed flowers and leaves are also foam mounted on my card panel and they give quite a nice dimension in real life. I matted my card panel on a light pink cardstock and attached it to a Kraft card base. I have used a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins to finish off my card.

Also entering my card in the NBUS challenge by Darnell- I have used my Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp & Gina Marie die for the first time, Stamping Sensations- Flower Power & SSS- Touchy Feel ( I have used embossing and layers for the texture).
