Freshly Made Sketches #728 - Card 3

My third card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge was also inspired by a video I watched by Therese Calvird of Lost In Paper. First I colored circles onto cream cardstock with Altenew's Fresh Dye Inks. Then I stamped Altenew's Delicate Bouquet with Versamark ink and embossed with Brutus Monroe's Gilded embossing powder. I die cut Altenew's Fancy Hello from paper I'd embossed with the same Gilded embossing powder. I layered the die onto 2 more layers of dies I cut from black cardstock, offsetting a bit for a shadow. I edged the panel with more embossing and glued it to my card.

Freshly Made Sketches #728 - Card 2

My second card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge was also inspired by a video I watched by Therese Calvird of Lost In Paper. First I colored circles onto cream cardstock with Altenew's Fresh Dye Inks. Then I stamped Altenew's Hellebore Haven with Versafine Onyx Black ink and embossed with Brutus Monroe's Fairy Dust embossing powder. I used a sentiment from Altenew's Sketched Florals. I edged the panel with more embossing and glued it to my card.

Freshly Made Sketches #728 - First Entry

I've made three cards already for this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. First up is this one, using these products from Altenew: Build-A-Garden: Glowing Gardenias Stamp Set for the flowers, Delicate Bouquet for the sentiment, and Fresh Dye Inks from Shades of Purple and Red Cosmos sets. I also used Brutus Monroe Fairy Dust Embossing Powder - hopefully you can see the glitter in the second picture. The sentiment was die cut with a Double Stitched Elongated Oval from Pinkfresh Studio. #FMS728

March 2026 Altenew Inspiration Challenge Entry

Here is my first card for this month's Inspiration Challenge from Altenew. I used their Floral Radiance stencils for the flowers and leaves, Iridescent Crystal Gem Sparkles for the flower centers, Birthday Builder Stamp Set for the sentiment, and several of their inks. I also used the Chunky Chevron stencil from The Crafter's Workshop for the background and Brutus Monroe Fairy Dust Embossing Powder on the sentiment. I was primarily inspired by the colors and the geometric pattern of the tiles on the table  in the inspiration photo. I don't have any vase stamps (yet). 

Yet Another Entry into Altenew's January 2026 Inspiration Challenge

I made this card after watching a video by @nickiheartscards. I used Dotty Circles 3D embossing folder from @altenewllc for the background, Translucent Foliage stamp set (die cuts and embossing folder) from @altenewllc for the flowers and leaves, and Iridescent Crystals Gem Sparkles from @altenewllc for the flower center. Inks are Distress inks from @ranger_ink.

Here is my second card for the Altenew January 2026 Inspiration Challenge. I used their Delicate Bouquet and Birthday Builder stamp sets. I colored the flowers and leaves with alcohol markers and the background with Ranger Distress Ink. Then I attached hot fix crystals.

Altenew January 2026 Inspriation Challenge

I am entering the January 2026 @altenewllc Inspiration Challenge for the first time this month. The flowers and leaves are from their Translucent Foliage Outline Stamp Set, which includes coloring stencils and cutting dies. The words are from their Birthday Builder stamp set, and the sequins are their Satin Gold (flower centers) and Clear Iridescent (card corners). I used their Dotty Circles 3D embossing folder for the dark red background. I colored everything with @ranger_ink Distress Inks.
