January 16, 2017

Hello there! Today I’m sharing a project that I created for Altenew and was on their blog yesterday featuring the gorgeous Sketchy Cities America 2 as well as the Happy Birthday die.Altenew-Sketchy Cities BdayI am in love with this beautiful Seattle skyline! I wanted to highlight it by embossing it in clear and blending several of the Altenew inks from their Sea Shore ink set.
Altenew-Sketchy Cities BdayI used some silver foil cardstock for the Happy Birthday die cut and added a few clear gemstones to finish it off.
