Altenew Inspiration Challenge

 Hello crafty friends! Welcome to my blog!

Today I want to share with you a card I created for the Altenew Inspiration Challenge.  I have learned to love layering stamps and Altenew has such a tremendous variety.  

I used a simple layer stamp to create this card.  I kept it simple, which is my style.  I do not like to clutter my cards with too many embellishments as to let the images and sentiments speak for themselves.

Below is the inspiration card from Altenew.  I created my card based on the colors shown.  I hope mine did it justice. :)

Click on the image below for a link to the inspiration challenge post.


And now below is my card.


Altenew Products Used on this project:

* Peaceful Reverie Stamp Set

* Merry Reindeer Stamp Set

* Eastern Sky blue ink cube 

* Butternut and Yellow Ochre ink Cubes

I hope you like my card and inspires you to also enter the challenge at the Altenew Inspiration Challenge blog!  I love Fall and this was so much fun for me to create.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you visit again. Please don't forget to leave a comment to let me know you stopped by.

Crafting of Hue - Unity Sponsor of the Weekend

 Hello, crafty friends!! Welcome to my blog!

Today I want to share a card I created using one of the lovely images by Unity Stamps.  They are the sponsor of the weekend at Crafting of Hue.  

I normally use Copic markers to color images but in this case I wanted to try my Spectrum Noir markers.  I think the blue tone here turned out beautifully and it almost looks like silk.

These are the colors I used on the dress:

TB3, TB5, TB6, TB9

 I hope you like my card and the coloring.  Don't forget to stop by the Unity site and check out their wonderful images.
