Altenew June Inspiration Challenge Card #2

Altenew has a monthly inspiration challenge on their blog( blog.altenew.com). It is such a great way to find new color combinations. These colors are among my favorites.

Coloring with alcohol markers is really my most happy place. Making a pattern paper created from the Zero Waste Flowery Pattern stamp from the newest Craft Your Life Kit seemed like a great way to show off the gorgeous bright colors from this month’s inspiration challenge.

110# Neenah Solar white cardstock was stamped in alcohol-friendly black ink then colored with Altenew alcohol markers. The background was filled in with black to help highlight the brilliant purples and pinks. A white gel pen was used to draw the stems.

Tiny dots were punched from Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Cardstock as was the “You” from You Matter Die Set. The remainder of the sentiment was cut from Jet Black Cardstock and backed with glitter cardstock.

This is my favorite coloring technique taught on many videos by Yana Smakula.
