Floral Slimline Card for the August 2022 Inspiration Challenge at Altenew — Stamps and Inks by Altenew. Card Design Is by Amy Solovay.
The lovely people over at Altenew typically host an Inspiration Challenge each month. I entered the challenge in August 2022, and you can see the challenge image posted below. Looking at that image, you can see the colors that challenge participants were invited to use:

Isn’t this color combination just spectacular? I LOVE IT! I was super inspired to make projects using these colors, but it has been so rainy and dreary here on our little mountaintop that I was only able to get photos of one of the projects I made. It’s a slimline card featuring florals from Altenew’s Simple Flowers Add-On stamp set.

I also used Altenew inks to stamp the flowers and the greenery; I used Frosty Pink, Coral Berry and Ruby Red to stamp the flower petals and Frayed Leaf paired with Forest Glades to stamp the leaves and stems.
I fussy-cut the botanical elements using Fiskars Paper Edgers in the Mini Scallop design.
The “Thank You” sentiment is from an older Altenew stamp set called “Painted Rose” that is no longer available for sale. I stamped the “thank” in Walnut Stain Distress ink and the “You” using Altenew’s Coral Berry Crisp Dye Ink. I stamped both of these words together onto cardstock that I lightly inked with Rose Gold Delicata ink; then I traced around it using a circle stencil; then I fussy-cut it out using scalloped decorative scissors by EK Success. I colored in the scalloped edge of the circle using a brown brush marker.
