Altenew Special Offer:

***

As you probably might know already, clean and simple is my favourite style of cardmaking, these are a few of my favourite cards I made for Altenew last year:

For today's Blog Hop I created another simple birthday card using a few of my favourite Altenew products.

I started by cutting Antique Engravings Cover Die out of white cardstock. Next, I stamped leaves from Leaf Clusters Stamp Set with green inks from Tropical Forest Crisp Dye Ink Oval Set and die cut them with coordinating dies. My last element was a flower from Craft-A-Flower: Cistus Layering Die Set cut out of white cardstock and coloured with Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F.

As a final step I stamped my sentiment from Birthday Builder Stamp Set, added some black ink splatters to the background and assembled all my elements.
