Altenew February Inspiration Challenge



. . . need I say more?  I was OH so happy to get my Altenew Ranunculus set out again!!!  and my newest Leafy Canopy and dies gave me the perfect swag of leaves! 

My entry for the Altenew Inspiration Challenge February 2019... I've clear heat embossed the images, water colored them with Distress Inks:  Faded Jeans, Forest Moss, for those blue-green leaves, and Abandoned Coral, and Festive Berries, for that gorgeous bloom!  splattering all that left over ink for fun!

 a few little dew drops are left to dry!
 

Thanks for the opportunity to play cards, Altenew!!  thanks to all of you who stopped by, extra thanks for leaving a comment!  Always makes me smile...
