Lately I have become obsessed with the Altenew Wallpaper Art Stamp & Die set.  I love adding the floral images in black and white on a colorized background.  Altenew Permanent Black Ink is perfect for this technique.

I selected the Altenew Sunburst Stencil and dry embossed it by running it through my Big Shot.  Not wanting this background layer to be white I inked over the texture with Altenew Limeade and Altenew Iceberg inks.

Next I wanted a silver border layer, so I decided to make my own.  Selecting a piece of paper trimmed to size, I inked the edges with my Altenew Embossing Ink pad.  Then I applied Altenew Antique Silver Embossing powder over the wet ink, heat embossed and I'm done.

I finished up my card with the simple 'Smile' sentiment from the 

Altenew Happy Bloom Set
