Altenew Get Wild with Washi Challenge

 I just love this challenge at Altenew. I must confess I am a washi tape hoarder. When we were allowed to travel overseas, I would always be on a lookout for unusual washi tape to add to my stash! Needless to say, I have a small collection of Altenew tapes, I just love the wider tapes. Here are a couple of cards I made recently. A hack that I often use for cards is to add some tape to the envelopes. I do this for Christmas cards every year, it just add a bit of fun to the envelope. Thanks for dropping by!

No Stamping!

We’ve had two 60th birthday celebrations in my family and these were the cards I made with no stamping at all. The background is alcohol inks on Yupo. Thanks for dropping by!

A quick card

 I’m back with a very quick card which I made on the weekend. I used the gorgeous patterned paper from Altenew and added some stencilling and stamping with Distress Oxides which added a bit of depth to the background.

I have a card to add to the Altenew June Inspiration. I was going to make a masculine but decided to make one for a colleague leaving our project instead. I just love the blue with brown combo!
