Altenew


Hello! I just received a new stamp set and dies by Altenew called Hennah Elements, and I'm in love with them! They're so much fun to play with, I just had to create a couple of cards right away.

The set comes with flower designs as well as some whimsical images. I saw a video online (sorry I don't have the link) where Catherine Pooler created a card similar to these. She gave me the idea of the black and white Washi Tape. I cut the front of the cards just about 1/2 inch short so the tape on the inside of the cards would show. The border pieces on the front are from Gina K Designs.

The flowers and leaves were watercolored. What fun that was! I couldn't stop once I got started. Once I was finally done watercoloring, I added Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents. That doesn't show up very well in the pictures, but you get the idea.

Thank you for stopping by today! I appreciate your comments and visits very much, and I hope to see you again real soon ~
