Helloooo, fellow crafters! I’m so excited to be part of Altenew’s 11 year anniversary blog hop!
A warning, this is a photo heavy post. 😊
My first project is new. I had this idea while at work, of all places, and I wanted to combine an embossed die cut on top of the same stamped and colored image. What you see below is my first try.
My next project was created with Sunshine Valley Garden Set Alcohol Markers and that cute Mushroom Greetings stamp set.
I’ll admit, I have a hard time with white space, hence the shadow stamping and the stenciling.
This project was created last year, but was never shown. I love how it turned out. I really winged this one, as I had no idea how the end result would look. Sometimes it just works out. 😁
Thank you for stopping by. Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win.

Ok so before I started reading, I had one of those “oh my goodness, how on earth did she do THAT?!” moments! That technique mixed with the stark color contrast on your first card is an absolute WOW factor! I love all three of your projects, but that one stopped me in my tracks!
