Altenew May 2021 Inspiration Challenge


Virginia is the host of the Altenew May 2021 Inspiration Challenge, and I couldn't wait to make another Climber using her chosen colors!  It's amazing what one can do with bits of card stock!  Since I don't often use blue, I depended on Altenew for their Caribbean Sky ink, a stencil, and a wonderful sentiment with which to use it!



I'm on my way to deliver this to their gallery - I'll list all my supplies below.  Can you guess what I used for my 'trellis?'

Altenew: 
Climber Flowers dies
Leafy Garland die
Elegant Swirls stencil behind that 'trellis' -
Mega Alpha X!
Rustic Linen stamp for detail on the light coral layers, and I love you sentiment

Those X's made a beautiful braid-like trellis for your vine and flowers. That brain of your's kicked in big time to create this feast for the eyes.

Amazing interpretation of the photo, Michele! Your flowers are gorgeous, and you're so clever to make the trellis with X's. I love that you used your rustic linen stamp to add the dotted pattern to the light coral petals. The light blue peeking through the trellis and the flowers is just like the sky above the buildings and the umbrellas in the photo.
