It’s time for a simple Gradient Card video in today’s Release post for Altenew! And if you are hopping along you should have arrived here from the Altenew Scrapbook Blog and with heaps more inspiration still to come, I had better get onto the cards!
Starting with a simply Folksy Floral design,
with a Watercolor Dots background stamped in the delicious Aqualicious!
These Mega Greetings dominate a card and I added a fun inlay technique using the Gradient Lines Die.
And a quick stamp with the Strength Blooms set and a coordinating die made my little flower highlight a cinch!
I decided to film the process for this card,
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
