Altenew - A Year in Review Challenge 2023

A Year in Review Inspiration Challenge December 2023

Ultimare Inspiration Challenge: Altenew Year in Review 2023

I am always intrigued and inspired by flowers and that is what I chose for my focal image on this card. 

I am using a stamp set that I purchased this year from Simon Says Stamptember, a collaboration with Altenew. It is called Rose Reverie. 

Not many supplies for this card, just the Rose Reverie image and sentiment. I used my water coloring paints from Daniel Smith and a die from the Greetery called Nordic Frame. 

After water coloring the roses, I did the background with a blue wash and then used a stencil that I created to make some interesting areas. The addition of some clear gems from my stash completed the card.  I have a hard time with splatter I think too much, but it is done.

The Prize

My Card

I used a partial die cut for my sentiment on this card. I am so happy with it and will find other ways to use it. 

Any die that has a shadow will work. I die cut the shadow first on my paper and then used the word die on the top.
