Hello friends! ! I am thrilled and honored to be here today, joined by so many friends for the 2018 Stamping For Autism Awareness Day! A special thanks goes to Veronica Zalis for inviting me to be her guest! In addition to the fantastic Blogs that are participating in today's hop, we have a FANTASTIC line up of sponsors who have generously donated prizes and time to make today a super fun day of friendship, support, and fabulous prizes!
For my card today, I used an older stamp set from Altenew called Hennah Elements, that I have had for quite a while and never used. I love this set and was thrilled to get it out and play with it finally. First off I created a background with some images from the Altenew Geometric Flowers stamp set, then stamped the splatters from My Favorite Things Distressed Patterns. I then blended some of the same colors of ink on top.
The flowers and leaves were colored with Copic markers and cut out with the coordinating Hennah Elements dies. The sentiment was stamped in black ink and is from the Bloom stamp set from Neat & Tangled.
