Altenew Inspiration Challenge February 2022


While I had those Anemones out, I decided to attempt another, much different take on Jenny's Inspiration Challenge at Altenew!  


Altenew's Rounded Rectangle dies are a go-to in my stash.  This time, I stamped
a bit of 'linen' to a green and yellow card stock with their Rustic Linen stamp before cutting the frames, and for fun the leaves in the Build a Flower Anemone.  Here are the inks I used today:



Are you playing along, too?  There's plenty of time!

WoWZERS! The hiatus must have sparked your creativity something fierce. Seems it's sparking right out of the tips of your fingers. So much going on here with this cards. You've nailed the ispirartion colors and added tons of texture and interest in the process. Gorgeous.

Great idea to stamp the linen onto the green and the fun leaves as it looks so effective. Striking design and a fabulous take on the challenge Michele x.

Love that wonderful green, such lovely contrast with the pink flower. I was looking at it and wondering how you got the textured look and see that it is a stamp, very effective and a wonderful design with those rounded rectangles xx

Love your card Michele and the way you have used those rectangles is wonderful!

Wow, this is such a pretty anemone, Michele! I love the pop of vibrant colors and the linen texture you added to the leaves and the frame. The way you used the rounded rectangle frame is creative! Opening the center of the green panel gives the card open feelings, and you used the inside die cutout for the sentiment strip! (right?)

I'm playing catch-up on unread blog posts and this card is a beauty! The anemone looks 3D and the "linen" rectangles add interest without detracting from that gorgeous flower!
