August 2022 Inspiration Challenge with a fun birthday card
Hello crafty friends. I’m submitting a card for the August 2022 Inspiration Challenge. As soon as I saw the red, my first thought was the cubed stencil from Altenew.

Mood Colors
I just took the Altenew In the Mood for Color class. This class was creating cards that convey different moods. Instead of just having a particular color I tried to do a card with different colors, but conveying similar moods. Overall, the blues were supposed to be calming, and the blue green was relaxing. ThereContinue reading “Mood Colors”
Monochromatic Card
I took a class from Altenew, Beautiful Details, and was wowed with the effects of using greys on cards. I tried one with a little blue just to add a little more. I started off by stamping in Grey with the full layer on the left, then the rest in the outline stamp. The stampContinue reading “Monochromatic Card”
