Altenew November Challenge

 This months Challenge colours are so beautiful, click here for the challenge inspiration and also the beautiful card made by the very talented Tenia.

For my card I blended the background with the ink set cool summer night. I then blended up a leaf from the Retro Plantines set and did them in oranges and greens. I embossed my sentiment from the first sentiment stamp set and then die cut them with the featured sentiment die set.

Thanks for visiting my blog today, may you find time to relax and craft to your hearts content

Altenew October Challenge

 I am so in love with all the embossing folders that Altenew are coming out with and thought I would use a new folder to participate in this months challenge which is a birthday card with a bold background.

Here is the inspiration and you can check out Jenny's card and all the wonderful creations on the blog here

For my card I used the stamp set Fresh Cut Roses, water colouring with Altenew water colour paints and used a new embossing folder for my background. the sentiments are also a favourite of mine but cannot remember the name at this time sorry.

Here is my card based on the inspiration, thanks Altenew you make everything so much easier with the beautiful products you design.
