When Life gives you troubles blow bubbles - C6 hand coloured card

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card is a hand stamped, hand coloured one using some Altenew stamps and inks along with some Hunkydory Mirri card. 

How I made this card:-

• I used one of the smaller "Halftone Circle" stamps from Altenew and stamped the front of a C6 white card (from the Paper Boutique collection from Creative Crafting World). I used "Ruby Red" and "Parrot" inks from Altenew and the "Tea Dye" Tim Holtz Ranger distress ink pads to do this.
• I then coloured a narrow panel (which I had cut out using Sue Wilson's striplet border die) using pale green and blue inks to give a landscape feel - I kept the card in the die whilst doing this to give a white border all around it.
• I glued it to some "Purple" Mirri card.
• Using the "Girl silhouette" which is part of the "Let the Wind carry you" stamp collection again from Altenew, I stamped it on to the bottom right hand corner with "Pitch Black" Rare Earth Pigment ink and embossed it with black embossing powder. 
• I also added the small "Dandelion clock" stamp to her hand, this time using "Tuxedo Black" Memento ink and also the "When Life gives you troubles" sentiment to the top of the panel.
• Finally I attached the whole panel on to the card using foam pads to give it some dimension.
• I also added the "halftone circle" stamp to the flap of the envelope to match it.
