Today I do have a card for you that I made for a Cardologist friend. We had recently talked about both owning Altenew's Wild Hibiscus set and not having played with it yet. So she challenged me to use it for her birthday card.
In the close up you can see the Wink of Stella shimmer:
And here the glittery flower centers:
Stamps: Altenew (flowers, leaves, butterfly), Winnie & Walter (sentiment)
Other: Stencil (My Favorite Things)
I stamped the flowers, butterfly, and leaves on watercolor paper, colored them with distress inks, and cut them out. The stenciled background I made a while ago on a Thursday night. It belongs to Dora. Thought it worked well on this card.
Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "Flora and Fauna"
The Mixed Media Card Challenge #25 "Sparkle"
Seize the Birthday "Bold and Bright"
Thank you so much for your visit and your sweet comments. They never fail to cheer me up!
Be well,

Susanne, your card is absolutely GORGEOUS!!
I bet your friend just loves this card, Susanne! Gorgeous flowers & wonderful design!
I'm so glad your friend challenged you to use this fabulous set, you have created a masterpiece! I used the same set not long ago and made five different cards with it (for an online challenge) - it is so versatile! Isn't it funny how we don't get round to using some fabulous sets until we are challenged! Have a wonderful Sunday! Hazel xx

Oh WOW!! This is STUNNING!! I am glad that your friend challenge you. Your card is just so beautiful.
What a beautiful card! Miss our calls already - hopefully this post cheers you up :)
She'll be pleased to see this, as it's really beautiful. That WoS really makes your elements pop, and I love the background you've created; it reminds me of a trellis. The curved corner really adds softness too. This is so pretty, and I just love it. Bev

Simply gorgeous, Susanne ... the Wink of Stella shimmer and embossed shine are just delicious! You may not be crafting very much (I can so relate!), but you've not lost your wonderful creative touch, my friend! Hugs, Anita :)
