Altenew Build-A-Flower: Cora Louise Peony Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

1/1/2021

Hello friends!

I was so happy to be asked to do some design work again for Altenew. It is just what the doctor ordered. I absolutely love this set. So many possibilities!!

It sure has been way too long since I have created. My youngest graduated from high school in June and headed off to college in September, shortly after we began house hunting. After looking at many houses, a few failed offers (tough market for buyers)- we found a small house to buy. We closed December 18th, in time to celebrate Christmas in our new home.

Todays card feature a beautiful bloom, a Peony. I love how fluffy they are.

Staying true to my style, I did a focal point, water-colored image. If you haven't picked up the new Altenew Woodless Watercolor Pencil Set, you're totally missing out. Like me they will be your favorite medium! I was so excited to use them for the first time, they are dreamy!

Well, I hope you like my card, I am very happy with the results! As always, thanks for visiting my blog, be sure to leave a comment, so I know you were here. Happy Stamping!!

Very pretty. I really like this flower and lovely leaves. Your color choices make this card appropriate for anyone (I'm thinking it's more in generic tones- my husband would not want to give his coworker a beautiful pink card )

Hi, Christine - Thank you for sharing your talent with the blog hoppers. I like the composition of your card and the colors you chose... the rich shades of brown and the pale blues in the background. Love the spatters, too!
Wishing you a Happy New Year!
