Hey everyone. Altenew – August 2020 Summer Nights Release is here. I’m happy to be hopping as a guest designer today. All products are live and ready for your carts.
My card today is featuring the new Beauty Within from the August 2020 Summer Nights release. This stamp set is absolutely gorgeous! I paired it with the newly released With Deepest Sympathy stamp set. For my medium I choose to watercolor the image with Altenew inks and my Karin brush markers.
The background for the card was created using the Doodled Dots Cover plate. I kept my palette all white which allowed the florals to be the main focus. Here are some close up shots of the card. For some added depth, I sponged on some buttercup ink onto the background to add a highlight behind the flowers.
Prizes:
