Hello! Today I have another card share for my Altenew Educators Certification Program. This time, I was inspired by Jennifer Rzasa in the Clean & Simple Boutique Cards class.
Clean & Simple definitely does not come easy for me, but Jennifer suggested adding a little something extra like foil or embossing powder. This gives the card a bit more flair and still remains clean & simple.
Here’s my take, (it is difficult to capture the shine of the gold in photos, so please keep scrolling for more pictures):
I just love the look of this stamp set (Build-A-Flower: Anemone)! I used a variety of purple inks to get this look. Since I don’t have my Altenew inks yet, I combined both Distress Ink and Distress Oxides to get this look.
The idea was to add a gold embossed stem to the Anemone, but this stamp set doesn’t have any stems, so I drew one on using a Versamarker!
I have a video below to show you the process, or watch on YouTube:
Just imagine all the different color combinations you can try on this flower. I love the big change in colors I got here, but for a more subtle effect you could simply use one or two colors and double, even triple stamp in that color.

Absolutely super, Kari! It’s hard to see that CAS style does not come easy for you…because you make it look easy! You’ve hit all the right spot! Love how you gold-embossed the flower and the placement of sentiment is awesome! I am so glad that you enter your beautiful work in Altenew AECP assignment Gallery. Awesome details and design!
