I'm very excited to share a card with you today that I made for a fabulous cause.
Altenew's goal is to send cards for the elderly that live in nursing homes or shelters to let them know they are not forgotten. We would love for you to check out the Celebrating Parents Card Drive and then join this great cause by sending in cards.
Here is the card that I will be sending to Altenew and hopefully it gives you some inspiration.
I started by inking my card front using Altenew Crisp Dye Ink - Aqualicious. Needing a little more interest on the background I pulled out my Jet Black Ink Sprays and added a few sprays.
If you know anything about me, I LOVE Altenew cover dies, so this card is using
I stamped several images from the Dotted Blooms set using Altenew Permanent Black Ink. This is a layering set but I decided to add color by using several ink pads to achieve a watercolor effect.
My sentiment was selected from the Build-A-Flower: Cattleya set.
