Altenew: Beyond Basic Backgrounds

Hey Friends!  

I am so excited to share I finished another course for my Altenew Journey to Certification, one more to complete my classes for Level 2. 

Today, is all about backgrounds.  Lydia made some amazing cards- I am loving all the fun techniques she showed and can't wait to show you more of them.  Today, I decided to create my own patterned paper.  I will be honest, I don't buy a lot of patterned papers, mostly because I like making white space cards that are clean and simple.  Lydia did introduce me to a new product out there that I ordered - I can't wait to get it to show you all.  It's pretty awesome!
