Hello friends,
Welcome to the Altenew 7th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 2! You should have arrived from Maryam Perez, but if not don’t worry there is a hop list at the bottom of my post. You may consider starting from the beginning at the Altenew Card Blog. Join us today on a fun blog hop celebrating Altenew’s birthday with tons of inspiration and lots of giveaways!
Project
For my project I used a very beautiful Courageous You Stamp Set.
I started to work on my card just like I always do – by stamping images in copic markers friendly ink on Neenah cardstock.
I used Remarkble Ink Pad Eclipse Black (this is perfect for general stamping and especially working with alcohol markers) and colored the flowers with copic markers. I used the markers:
If you have been following me for a while you know I love dark backgrounds, so I decided to make a black background for this card. I colored the background using N10.
I stamped a sentiment from the Engagement Wishes Stamp Set onto white stripe with Remarkble Ink Pad Eclipse Black, which I popped onto the card. To finish, I added several rose Crown Jewels Gems to finish this card.
