February 2026 Inspiration Challenge with Altenew

I drew from the Sweet Spray and Serene Blooms suites to capture the soft, elegant feel of the inspiration photo 🌸. The combination of pastel oranges, warm greens, and touches of Enchanted Gold shimmer created a gentle, glowing palette ✨ that carried through the entire design. Gold‑embossed florals, layered stenciling, and glittery accents added depth and sparkle, while additional greenery sprays brought in extra texture 🌿. A softly shimmery embossed background tied everything together, finished with a few gold sequins for a warm, luminous touch ✨.

Easy step-by-step instructions:

• Cut & fold white A2 card base.
• Trim light grey cardstock slightly smaller, then emboss with the Sweet Spray 3D embossing folder.
• Gently rub Enchanted Gold shimmer relief paste over top of the raised images with your finger, then set aside to dry.
• Once dry, mount to the card base with foam adhesive.
• Heat emboss the floral image in gold, then ink blend with the coordinating layering stencils in shades of pastel orange and green.
• Stamp the sentiment in black to white cardstock.
• Diecut both with their coordinating dies, then extra layers of the sentiment from white & sparkling peach glitter cardstock.
• Diecut the greenery pieces from sparkling peach & moonstone glitter cardstock.
• Stack & glue the sentiment layers together.
• Arrange & adhere the floral element & greenery pieces as shown.
• Mount the sentiment to the card with thin foam strips.
