Somehow I missed the info regarding Therese's Altenew Academy 3D Floral Focus class. Luckily, Betty posted some of her homework, so the next day I signed up & started watching the videos. Love the class & I watched all the videos in 2 days. Not sure when I'll finish the homework, but I do have cards made for the first 3 lessons. I used Altenew Fantasy Floral Die set & Altenew Painted Greetings stamp set.
Day 1: The Basics
I had fun making a red, white & blue card for my sister & brother in law who are both dealing with some health issues. This will be instead of a July 4th card this year.

Day 2: Monochromatic
I used the same blue & white cardstocks I had out for my next flower. Gotta say, I really love the look of this one. For added fun, I covered the 3rd layer with prisma glitter--so beautiful!
The card front was splattered with the same blue ink I used for the sentiment. I'm also entering ModSquad, WAW & SSS Wednesday.

Day 3: Inlay Die Cut
This one was a bit tricky to do with the Fantasy Floral blossom die. I almost gave up, but did end up with a flower I liked. Hard to tell, but the bottom layer & card front are silver metallic cardstock.
Great to have used a lot of my bits & pieces, so I have fewer scraps left over. I decided embellishments weren't needed with the sparkle from the metallic cardstock. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
