chance to win. 6 winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 2/24/2019.
I decided to go a bit softer with my images because I honestly I was so in love with the sentiment sets. They are so encouraging and uplifting I knew I had to have them. Since I wanted the sentiment to be the focus that meant the coloring couldn't be. But that doesn't mean it still isn't pretty :)
For my first card I did some stamp layering. These images are always stunning. I made it fool proof by using one of the Altenew cube sets which have pre-selected colors that already look perfect together. I stamped out my flower and let that bold black sentiment shine!
I couldn't do no coloring because while the sentiments make me happy coloring makes me pretty happy too. I decided to just go for a softer look that would still allow the sentiment to be the boldest part of the card.
You can check out both cards in the video below. It's a short one for me haha!
I really do like how soft and pretty they look even if that's not my normal look. Sometimes pushing out of the box is a genuinely joyful thing!
Your next stop on the hop is the wonderful Sveta Fotinia who has absolute gorgeousness waiting for you!
