Altenew Inspiration Challenge: May 2025

 Hello hello crafty friends,

"You really are the best" --> Yes you, all of you my crafty and non-crafty friends :) The ones who encourages me, inspire me in ways even you don't know. 

This creation is a reminder for all those beautiful souls, including me, who keep that flame of creativity alive in me. 

Today, I have a pastel shaded creation in front of you and this was one of my biggest challenge (Pastel shades play) this is a very hard color palette for me, but I did it! I was super happy once I saw what came out as the final outcome and also, this is one of the quickest card I have created. Usually I start with an idea (paper and pen involved). Then I make variations of design, think colors, stamps or dies or various elements. For this one, all I had in mind was --> use stripes + pastel shades. Both of them are fulfilled and happy happy creation came out :)

It has been very very long I have participated in any Altenew challenge off late, but here I am! I will try to make more time to do these fun challenges. They give me lot of joy and also help me use up my crafty stash; build my card stash to give as and when needed.

Products used:

1) Altenew Ink Colors (For the background and the stamped image): Pink diamond, pinkalicious, sea breeze, turquoise, buttercream, warm sunshine

2) Extra elements: Altenew instant dimension foam tape; silver glitter cardstock; Altenew black pigment dye ink

3) Stamp and die set: Altenew Build-A-Flower: Cattleya
