I have been stalking Altenew's website because I love their products! This month they have a challenge that inspired me to pull out an old Altenew die set and try a stained glassed card. The Cricut community is buzzing with this technique but they use print and cut. I cut my pieces with white or black card stock using the Altenew Die Layered Floral Cover Die A & B. I inked the white cardstock with pink, purple and green inks from CTMH or Stampin' Up. Some things I love about this technique are:- I can create this look with white and black paper and my ink pads. NO expensive ink cartridge for the printer. No running out of ink!
- It gave an older die a new look.
- The look is timeless! One of the things I love about Altenew is the timelessness of their designs.
I am entering this in the June 2023 Inspiration Challenge at Altenew. At first I thought the color combo to be too challenging, but then I remembered the stained glass craze and thought if I added black I would be happy with the colors.
It's been a long time since I published anything on the blog, but I am still creating. In fact, I am crafting everyday and posting my cards and scrapbook pages on instagram. You can find me there.
