Hi there! Today I’m joining Altenew for their September release blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Therese Calvird’s blog.
My first card featured the 3D Poinsettia die set.
I trimmed strips of cardstock from the Gradient Cardstock sets to create a colorful background and added an embossed sentiment from the Holiday Tag Sentiments set.
My next card features the Kind Reminders stamp, die & coordinating stencil set.
I stamped the bloom with Morning Frost ink and using the Kind Reminders stencil I blended the color using Altenew inks & the awesome Altenew blender brushes.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
