Altenew Inspiration Challenge November 2020

 

Between the loads of fun I had on Monday, I contemplated the November 2020 Altenew Inspiration photo.  For a girl whose favorite color is grey, this was truly a challenge!  I love Erum's card, and her fabulous videos are another treat I indulge in on Monday each week.  

There is another new Poinsettia in my stash ... Altenew's Modern one.  It has really beautiful sentiments, too.  I reached for my water color pan set, and here's where Erum's tropical vibe took me - btw those little tropical leaves are from my snippets box - from Waffle Flower Craft.


Since this sentiment [Altenew - Apothecary Labels] is quite prominent in navy - 
I'll share this one with 



Thanks so much for stopping by ... means so much to me!

Thank you Altenew!!!

WOW...this is a beaut Michele! Love that Poinsettia stamp and you've water colored it beautifully! Never would have thought of using those colors together for a Christmas card, but it totally works (should enter it into the CAS Christmas for non traditional colors). I love, LOVE the turquoise leaves and putting the sentiment on the nave label works too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

You know how much I love non-traditional colours for Christmas cards and this combo is stunning!! Really like how you coloured the flowers too, its messy in a good way, which adds so much interest I think. And the gold with the black for the sentiment is oh so stylish. You know we love to see you at The Flower Challenge!!

Wow, wonderful take on Erum's inspiration, Michele! Your watercolored poinsettias are gorgeous, especially with those green tropical leaves. The dark navy sentiment label strip is a great choice!
