Altenew 2018 April Inspiration Challenge

Hello everyone! I'm back with a second card I created for Altenew's 2018 April Inspiration Challenge.

For this card I used the gorgeous Watercolor Bouquet stencil that was recently released, the large image from the new mini Hello stamp set and a sentiment from In My thoughts.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great day!

First up I have a card featuring the new set Lettered and Lovely illustrated by Emily Schroepfer. 

New Inks Used: Amalgam, Plum Punch, Tranquil Teal and Sea Glass

Cardstock: Pure Luxury White, Plum Punch and Black Onyx 

For this card I used images from the StampnFoil™ clear stamp set by Gina K. Designs for Therm O Web called Time To Celebrate. I did not foil any of the images in this card. It would of been a little hard to do with the balloons overlapping!

New Inks Used: Black Onyx, Key Lime, Sea Glass, Lucky Clover, Tranquil Teal, Coral Reef and Tangerine Twist.

Card Stock: Pure Luxury Sea Glass and Black Onyx

For my last card I used three of the cute images from a set that was released last year called Spring Fling by Beth Silaika. The sentiment is from Springtime Baskets by Claire Brennan. The front panel of my card was sponged with Key Lime ink on Key Lime card stock using the Daisy Chain GKD Art Stencil.

New Inks Used: Black Onyx, Key Lime, Lucky Clover, Sea Glass and Tangerine Twist.

Card Stock: Pure Luxury White and Key Lime.

The new release is available now at Gina K. Designs!

Altenew April Inspiration Challenge

Here is a card I created for Altenew's April Inspiration Challenge. For this card I'm using their newly released Leaf Burst Stencil which I am totally in love with! I heat embossed a sentiment from the Beautiful Inside stamp set and added a bit of silver thread behind it before I adhered to my card front.

Thanks so much for dropping by!
