Altenew June Challenge

So happy to report that my strained muscle has greatly improved!  It's no longer affecting what I can do.  Here's the second card I made for the Altenew June Inspiration Challenge.  I've been wanting to add color to kraft cardstock by first using white pigment ink.  I used the same stamp with matching stencils as my first entry, Altenew's Sweet Bouquet.  
This time I stamped in Versafine Clair Pinecone in opposite corners and used a sponge dauber to apply the white ink through the stencils.  I heat set it and then began adding these Altenew inks:  Fresh Lemon, Honey Drizzle, Orange Cream, Firebrick, Forest Glades and Hunter Green.  Then I restamped to darken the lines softened by the white ink and splattered Altenew gold metallic watercolor.  Hello Friend from the same set was stamped in Pinecone and clear embossed.  Then I used the gold watercolor for emboss resist.  The sentiment strip, also from the set, was stamped in Pinecone.  I covered the flower centers in scattered straw Distress Stickles and added Altenew Antique Gold sequins.  Think I'll save this for a Fall birthday.  I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
