The wonderful, exuberant Erica Andersson is hosting the February 2025 Altenew Inspiration Challenge - I could really go for one of her delectable little macarons with my coffee today!
The print fabric shown here is actually what Erica calls her 'Altenew robe...'
who doesn't craft at least part of their day in their robe? lol
While my first load is spinning out, I decided to take one of my all-time favorite Altenew frame dies out for another spin...
It's perfect no matter what you tuck into it! Today, I had a sweet
friend in mind while crafting - prayers are coming your way! A little
Faith and Hope can only help, right?
Erica is looking for texture: I found lots in this gorgeous
Altenew Woodgrain Powder paper and my frame has such wonderful
detail, too - I pumped it up a little using one of their small blending brushes and mocha ink.
Altenew Elegant Sayings stamps and dies filled in my message quite nicely.
OH! I should mention this lovely little Altenew Lavender set that has been
in my stash since 2019 - I stamped it with two shades of aqua then
added a little bit of interest with a brown pen.
A clean and simple card indeed.

ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the inspiration colors! I craft part of the morning in my jammies with a cup of coffee. Who doesn't? Gosh, this is pretty!
