Hey Crafty People!
I am never quite sure how we made it back round to here, so quickly, but it’s time For another Altenew: A Year in Review! This year we are having an Instagram hop with over $450 in prizes up for grabs, but I wanted to share my top 4 cards here, along with links to posts I originally made and supplies lists for each one.
Altenew: A Year in Review
As it turns out, all four of my choices for this year are fairly recent and I’m not sure if that means anything really, other than that I was feeling a lot more inspired around this time. It’s been a challenging year for one reason, or another, but as always, crafty therapy helps me through.
Altenew: Bloom with kindness
I loved a lot about this one; the soft ink blending, colour palette, black splatters, bold sentiment, added golden thread or really just a combination of all of the above!
Altenew: Billowing Flower
I had fun with one of Altenew’s BetterPress Plates and some watercolour painting for this one. Plus I shared my tips on covering up or better yet, disguising your ‘mistakes’.
Altenew: Quick & Easy Watercolour Style
The last card was pretty time consuming, so if you’re in need of something significantly quicker, may I suggest this faux watercolour, mixed media, smooshed design?!
Altenew: Festive Joy
I’m not sure, but this might just be my favourite Christmas card from this year, but either way it’s my favourite Altenew Christmas card of the season!
Please be aware:
As part of my Design Team and Guest Design work I do often receive free products to use, but I only ever recommend products that I genuinely love.
Also, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have these opportunities, but you don’t always NEED the newest products or the ‘full set’.
So please don’t feel that you need everything.
I like to show a variety of brands and products; this way there will be something for everybody to enjoy.
