Do you like the look of ‘line art’? It’s such a fun way to stretch your stamps and so simple to create!
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from PREETI’s wonderful Blog.
If you haven’t used line art before then you are in for a surprise. It simply means stamping the orignal image but not to colour it in the ‘usual’ way. These beautiful images such as this floral from the Castle Garden Stamp Set and the butterfly from the Meadow Reflections set look fabulous just stamped in black.

And for my pop of colour today I masked some simple lines on the card front and blended a few fun colours together.
