ALTENEW INSPIRATION CHALLENGE (Feb '22)

 TI love the gorgeous picture, with lovely fresh colours for this month's Altenew Challenge. so I was inspired to create this card...


I stamped Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers on the white card and coloured with diluted Karin Markers. I scribbled the marker on my palette and picked up with a watercolour brush. I shaded the flowers with Zig markers -  the lightest shade of blue and green.  Then I used the gorgeous Spellbinders Venise Lace Hemstitch Die.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set. 
To finish I mounted on a black base card and added some sequins. 

I'm sharing at the following challenges:-



I loved this colour combo so much, I made another card, this time on Baohong Watercolour paper and using Daniel Smith Watercolours as well as Karin Markers. 

I used Altenew Beautiful Day for this card. I may add a sentiment at a later date, but like to leave some cards blank for flexibility. A bit of fussy cutting was involved and the rectangle die is Penny Black Antique Frame.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)

    Two gorgeous cards using the colours from the Altenew challenge, Jenny. Might have to buy that first card's stamp set. :) LOVE it! The second card has the most interesting textured watercolour paper. I have not heard of Baohong w/c paper ... will have to check that out. As always, your cards are amazing, inspirational, and also enabling me to spend money! :) xx
