For today’s blog hop I created two simple, one-layer cards. The first one is made using a set called Tea Time and I love these fun, hand-drawn images. I stamped them with black ink on the bottom of my card and used Altenew Artist Markers to colour some of the images in.

To finish the card, I combined two sentiments from the set and stamped them in black.

My second card is even more simple than the first one. I started by stamping the sentiments from Family Matters Stamp set with black ink. Then I added a small floral image from a beautiful set called Garden Treasure.

I again used the Altenew Artist Markers to do a very simple colouring.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Vicky and I can't wait to see what she came up with today!

For today’s blog hop I’ve created two simple cards to share with you. For my first card, I used Sketched Lines Stencil and white paint applied with a sponge dauber to create my background. 

Once dry and set I used stamps from the Remember This stamp set and coordinating dies to embellish my card.

To create my second card I used another great stencil called Floral Drape. This time I used Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Sea Glass, Ocean Waves, Lagoon, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Dusk to create my background. First I applied the inks with a sponge dauber and then I spritzed the stencil with Frayed Leaf metallic shimmer ink spray for some lovely sparkle.

For my sentiment I used black, bold “hi” created with the Bold Alphabet die set.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Flora and I can't wait to see what she came up with today!



Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Please visit the Altenew blog to learn more about The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge blog hop and for more details about giveaways, prizes and a special offer.

For my project today, I decided to create a quick and simple Mother’s Day card using two stamps from Remember This Stamp Set. I stamped the images with light grey colour to create a floral background for black and bold letter M (cut out with a die from the Bold Alphabet Die Set).

I used the new Altenew Artist Markers to colour the images and added some details with Stabilo Fineliner pens. Here’s a picture of markers I used on my card:
