The Flower Challenge #77 Reminder

 

I have adopted a rule in my studio - have I mentioned it before??  

Any new product must have at least four three  two uses before it can be stored away - smart right? lol This rule also made my reminder card for The Flower Challenge #77 Use your Latest Stamps or Dies pretty simple - and simple it is how I've kept it.  

So simple that I made TWO!  One end of this Altenew Magnificent Branch was stamped 

in brown ink onto watercolor card:

... the other end in black on Bristol card!  Either of these can be colored by the recipient if they so choose!

Have you used all of your new goodies yet?  We'd love to see them in our gallery, friends!  Thanks for stopping by!

Altenew January 2023 Inspiration Challenge

 

A funny thing happened on the way to making a DT card - it fit quite well for the Altenew Inspiration Challenge - January 2023!  LOve when that happens - and since I'd made TWO versions, I still have another for my team!

They are already thinking Spring!  So, I used a brand-new-to-me Build-a-Garden: Magnificent Branch stamp from the bundle and found a cute little circle to stamp one of its sentiments on to.  It was stamped in Versafine Tuxedo Black ink and water-colored using Altenew's 36 pan set - purple wine, puff heart, bamboo, and forest glades to be exact - leaving a bit of highlight here and there.  Since this stamp covers a LOT of real estate even the back of my card is painted - you'll see it soon!
