Today was a work from home day - so I managed a card during my tea breaks and lunch break.. I saw this great sketch from Freshly Made Sketches on my bloggy friend Karren's blog
This week brought another package from Krafter's Cart and some lovely goodies from my friend, Arlene... I had purchased an Altenew stamp and die set from last year - a Christmas one - Holiday Flower Stamp. So it got a try out today.
I found this gorgeous Christmas paper in my LARGE stash of patterned paper. I trimmed it down to fit the sketch - made a red layer and added to a green 5" square card base. I stamped the flower with some Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossed it, onto some Fabriano Bristol paper. Ager die cutting it out, I did some watercolouring with Altenew's Woodless Watercolour pencils. They move so beautifully on this paper. The sentiment is from the stamp set and is silver embossed onto black card and die cut with some Altenew Featured Sentiment dies.
As the stamps and die are having their first outing, I'm entering this into Darnell's NBUS challenge.
