<p>I made this card using the new <a href="https://gracielliedesign.shop/product/new-bougainvillea-galore-mega-digital-stamp-set/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bougainvillea Gallore Mega Digital Stamp Set</a> from Graciellie Design. I printed the Bougainvillea flower on Neenah Solar White cardstock with inkjet printer and then I colored it with Altenew Artist Markers. After that, I fussy cut it with scissors and I added some white paint splatters on it. I dried the paint with craft heater.</p>



<p>I printed the sentiment on a white cardstock and then cut the label using the <a href="https://dare2bartzy.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dare 2B Artzy &#8211; Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies</a>.</p>

<p>For the background, I printed one of the rustic wood pattern paper from <a href="https://gracielliedesign.shop/product/rustic-wood-mega-digital-paper-pack/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Graciellie Design &#8211; Rustic Wood Mega Digital Paper Pack</a>. I trimmed it smaller than the card base and I added on the card with permanent adhesive runner.</p>



<p>For the frame, I used the Gemini Ornate Frame &amp; Corner Foil Stamp ‘N Cut Dies. This was my first time using hot foil. I had some trials and errors but once I figured it out, I had fun. I added the frame on the card with double sided tape.</p>



<p>I added the flower and sentiment label on the card with 3D foam tape and I embellished the card with some clear droplets.</p>
