With a Twist

Hello Crafty Friends

I completed the course on "With a Twist" with lots of ideas on how to add a twist to card creations. One idea was using unexpected color combinations. I wanted to use the dahlia die set for this creation. I found a picture online of a beautiful and unusual dahlia and wanted to use this color combination reflected in my card. See picture below and then my interpretation:

Mood Inspired

Hello Crafty friends!! I am so excited to pass the level 1 classes and test with Altenew! I am now working through courses on the level II. I was inspired by the "In the Mood to Color Class". I thought about what I do in my everyday life, which is to support people struggling with mental health. I created a card thinking of that using the following colors: Blue: Tranquility Pink: Caring Yellow: Optimism  For this card I die cut the tulips and used Distress Inks to color the flower and leaves. Then I die cut the frilly frame and used the flowers to adorn the frame. I used a cover plate to create the background and there placed the die and flowers. Then I added the sentiment and some baubles. For this card I wanted convey maintaining serenity, care and a bit of hopefulness peeking through.  Materials:   Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Tulip Full Bloom Layering Die Set Altenew - Cutting Dies - Frilly Frame Die Altenew Scripted Sentiments Die Set Waffle Flower Sweet Plaid Cover Die ...
