Hi there! I'm thrilled to be joining the Altenew Crafty Friends Blog hop! This is a special hop to celebrate all of the friendships we have made through our creative journey. Some of my very best friends I have found through our common interest and love for crafting. I am not much for inviting someone over to sit and drink coffee and chat, but if you want to come over and make a card with me then hurry and get right over here! :)
The card I have created here uses three different stamp sets from Altenew; Poinsettia and Pine, Hennah Elements, and Ditsy Print. I very lightly blended some aqua ink onto my white card base, then stamped some of the elements from the Hennah Elements stamp set and also some pine from Poinsettia and Pine. I then stamped the sentiment from the Ditsy Print stamp set in black along the right side.
All of the elements I used are from the Poinsettia and Pine stamp set, and they were colored with Copic markers. I cut them out with the coordinating dies, and adhered them with foam tape. When the card was finished, I speckled the whole thing with white ink using a paintbrush and tapping it.
