Altenew February Inspiration Challenge

 Hey there,  Altenew has a new challenge up on their blog with a fun color palette.


What a gorgeous mural on that building. I can see why Kelly was inspired to create a card from this.

My card started with a white panel that I did some ink smooshing with the pink and peach colors. I then die cut the tulips from the Floral Doodles die set.


I used a charcoal panel to set the flowers off like the building wall. Using the Bold Thanks die and Educators Rule sets for my greetings. I created leaves for the tulips from the stems die.


I was having so much fun with this palette that I created a second card with a touch more boldness.

January Inspiration Challenge Cards

 Hey there. On this rainy day I thought I would make a few challenge cards for the Altenew and Pinkfresh Studio January challenges. My first card uses the photo below as my color inspiration. I am on the road with minimal supples so I did the best I could with colors.



Stencil: Altenew Bubble Wrap
Dies: Altenew Floral Doodles
Altenew Bold Thanks
Extras: Pretty Pink Posh sequins
Ranger: Glossy Accents
PTI: linen twine


Pinkfresh Studio January Challenge was a look back at the year of challenges. I chose the May rainbow challenge for my card. I ink-blended a panel, die cut several of each letter and layered them up. The base card has a matching, rainbow ink-blended edge.


Dies: Pinkfresh Studio Julieta Alphabet 
Stamps: Concord and 9th Happy Day


Challenges are my favorite way to produce inspiring cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, Sue.
