I totally dropped the ball last month on Altenew's gorgeous inspiration - not letting that happen again this month! Terri's beautiful photo memory of her family's trip to Wales has much to inspire me: gorgeous texture. neutral colors. Spring green!
Here is where those elements took me for
Armed with inks, stamps, Altenew blenders to apply ink to the stamps and my mini-mist-er
my card came together pretty quickly!
Altenew provided the papers today, too: Woodgrain Powder, Parchment, and Woodgrain Kraft
[embossed with their Mod Squares] were found in their sampler pack... sorry I couldn't find it available any longer =(
A smattering of Altenew's enamel dots, and beautiful sentiment from this same Pen Sketched Silhouette set cut with one of those wonderful little label dies that are a staple in my studio.
Quite masculine. Much needed in my stash. Thanks, Terri!

ReplyDeleteThe inspiration board took you to a beautiful place! Love that kraft woodgrain embossed with the mod squares and all topped off with flowers. I've always thought woodgrain and flowers paired perfectly!

ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Michele! You made the neutral colors shine, by adding woodgrain and mod squares texture, and arranging the pretty watercolor-look flowers on the front panel!
