Altenew Supplies I Used to Create This Card:
- Patterned papers from the Celebrate collection, which was a collaboration between Altenew and Pinkfresh Studio
- I used stamps from 2 different collections to create this card. The floral stamp set is called “Simple Flowers Add On”, and the sentiment stamp is Altenew’s contribution to the “Thinking of You” stamp set by Stamping Village.
- Sapphire Ink by Altenew — I used this to stamp the “We Appreciate You” sentiment. This isn’t exactly the ideal color for this particular project; a dark green would have been better. But I LOVE this ink color, and it is finding its way into bunches of my most recent craft projects.
I was motivated to create this card because Altenew is having an inspiration challenge hosted by Reiko.
She posted a GORGEOUS floral photo featuring a vibrant pink, yellow and green color combination, which is the inspiration for the challenge. This happens to be one of my all-time favorite color combinations, so I am super excited to play along with the challenge.
I did actually find this challenging. It would be easy enough to use those particular colors in a project, but in this case, I also had to limit myself to using mostly supplies by Altenew. I do have plenty of Altenew’s paper craft supplies, but most of them are not the right colors for this. So this challenge took me out of my comfort zone, in a good way.
Thank you so much to Altenew for hosting this challenge; it is always lovely to have additional motivation for getting new projects finished.
