I’m so excited to be taking part in Altenew’s 2016 January release and blog hop, if you arrived here from Anna Kossakovskaya’s blog you are exactly where you should be. We will be releasing 10 new stamp sets. Unfortunately the two stamp sets that Marika designed won’t be released this month, but we will be releasing them in February.
For my first card today I used the fabulous apple from the new Teacher’s Rule stamp set and created a bit of texture by swiping the ink across the stamp and I just love how it turned out (especially with these new specialty papers from Altenew).
I got all ‘retro’ with my second card and had the best fun copic colouring these swirls from You Are and popped up a big Super Script sentiment on some kraft and called it done.
My final card is truly a CAS design and I thought it would be fun to create a whole set of these using the images and sentiments from Way Too Sweet, they would come together in no time at all!
