Altenew November Inspiration Challenge

 hello hello!

Back today with another challenge card... my uber talented friend Tenia is hosting this month's Inspiration Challenge over on the Altenew blog - I swear I love every single card this girl makes, always so very inspiring! 

So here is the Altenew November Inspiration Challenge prompt

Here is what I came up with:

Not gonna lie, initially I struggled a bit with this challenge - I tried some background watercoloring with my Altenew watercolors, and it just wasn't giving me the results I was looking for, so I scrapped that idea and ended up going with the die cut strip background instead!

The cardstock strip colors were pulled from the inspiration photo and the stamped leaves are a nod to the beautiful trees... I ♥ fall!! I die cut the circle greeting into the card base then die cut it again out of Altenew's brushed metallic cardstock, then cut off the sentiment and adhered it to the card base.

Here are the Altenew supplies I used to make this card:

Altenew 3D deck planks embossing folder

Altenew Beautiful Day stamp & die (leaf)

Altenew Circled Greetings: thanks die

Altenew Hello & Hugs stamp set

Altenew brushed gold metallic cardstock

Other supplies: Distress Oxide Ink- ground espresso; gold sequins; gold cord; white cardstock; colored cardstock; strip dies

In the end, I think the card is a good reflection of the inspiration photo :)

Thanks for stopping by, appreciate your visit!!
