Let's get to the card!
There were so many gorgeous flowers to choose from I struggled to make a choice! Crafter's problems for real yo.
I finally settled on what I was doing but then I stamped on the wrong paper lol. You know me, I'm not doing it again folks. Ain't nobody got time for that. So I decided to try watercoloring with my Copic reinkers. You can see how it worked out in the video below.
It's a longer video and this is a crazy amazing hop so no worries if you don't have time to watch it now. It'll be here :)
If you are a regular follower you know I'm really feeling the florals right now. This hop was so perfect for me right now. Well . . .I mean . . .flowers are perfect anytime. You know what I'm saying. :)
In addition to those three $50 gift cards you could win on the Altenew blog you can also win a $30 right here! The people at Altenew are amazing givers!! Just leave a comment on my blog by Thursday, February 2nd at 11:59 PM EST for a chance to win. I'll pick it randomly.
Your next stop on the hop is my dear friend Debby Hughes.
