Warm & Fuzzy - Altenew August 2024 Inspiration Challenge

Hi Everyone, hope you are all having a good week. I would like to share a card with you that I am entering into the Altenew August 2024 Inspiration Challenge.



When I saw Claire Apostoloff's inspiration photo it just inspired me to use the Altenew Warm & Fuzzy Stamp Set.  It was one of those stamp sets when I saw it I thought I just need that.  I think you know the feeling right LOL.

Claire also inspired me to use a colour combination I never thought of before.  I think the colours just compliment each other.

I first Dry Emboss Altenew Ribbon Waves 3D Embossing Folder on a piece of white cardstock.

Following on from this I blend Altenew Red Cosmos Crisp Dye Ink on a piece of white cardstock using a blending brush.

I then stamp Altenew Warm & Fuzzy Stamp Set on blending cardstock and die-cut image with the coordinating die.


I then blend Altenew Red Cosmos Crisp Dye Ink on a piece of white cardstock using a blending brush.

Following on from this I stamp sentiment from Altenew Warm & Fuzzy Stamp Set using Embossing Ink heat emboss with Altenew Gold Crisp Embossing Powder.

To finish I added some splatters with Altenew Antique Gold Pigment Ink and some sequins.

Just in case you want to do a little shopping I have added the links above (they are affiliate links which means that I will receive a small portion of the sale at no extra cost to you). I truly appreciate your support of my card adventures!
