a thank you...

Hello!  Popping in with a card for a few challenges:  Altenew Year in Review (I used the color combo from February), Freshly Made Sketches and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.  I was so surprised and delighted to find in my mail on Christmas eve an envelope from Altenew with a sweet little stamp set called Billowing Blossoms inside.   It really made my day especially since a package that I was expecting to get from Ellen Hutson (which is about 35 miles from me) did not arrive.  Instead it went to San Francisco, CA, Oakland, CA, Stockton, CA and then back to San Francisco!  The package is back in Washington state, but I'm not holding my breath that I will get it anytime soon!   Anyway... I stamped one of the flowers from the set using Altenew Frosty Pink ink and then added the center using Coral Berry.  The leaves were stamped with Frayed Leaf and Forest Glade.  I then die cut the image with a Spellbinders oval die and stamped it with the sentiment from the Altenew Pear Tree mini stamp set.  I used the same inks and a Altenew image called Snowing (I believe it was a freebie in one of my orders) to stamp the panels that I die cut with an AJVD Stitched Dot rectangle die.  Some light gray cardstock was die cut with the Altenew Watercolor Stripes cover die and adhered to a white cardstock base.  I then adhered everything to the card front.




Hope you have a wonderful day!

Supplies:  Cardstock: MFT white, SSS fog; Stamps:  Altenew; Dies:  Altenew, A Jillian Vance Design, Spellbinders; Inks:  Altenew and VersaFine CLAIR

I like your soft colors Rosemary, this is a pretty card! Crazy about that package! It takes forever to get my PTI packages and they're in Ohio too!

I love all of these elements together. The background die is fabulous - and the soft edges work so well with those dotted panels. Perfect for the sweet flowers. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
