Hello everyone, this is Yana sharing a simple monochromatic Thank You card.
When I received new colors of inks from Altenew last week I immediately put them to a good use and stamped a few test images out (you might have seen the color chart I shared on Facebook a few days ago). I am a visual person and I like to have my ink colors stamped in an ink chart or some sort of chart for easy reference.
I used Altenew's all time favorite Vintage Roses stamp set to stamp a few 3 and 4-layer flowers using all 12 new ink colors and that stamping has inspired this simple project.
I used new Woodgrain Powder cardstock (it is just like a white woodgrain one but in a mocca-like color) and foam mounted my stamped and die cut flowers on top creating a floral cluster. I used just the Coffee Break colors here.
My sentiment comes from a Fresh Freesia stamp set and is heat embossed in Antique Gold embossing powder to match the rest of the project.
To add a bit of sparkle to this card I also adhered a layer of gold glitter tape under the sentiment strip. One can never have too much glitter, especially if its gold and mess-free, lol!
As sad as it might be, this is my last post for Altenew blog as a cardmaking design team member; I will still be joining Altenew for new product release hops and will be posting lots on my personal blog, yanasmakula.com as a contributing designer, be sure to sign up for my blog newsletter if you'd like to keep in touch.
Big hugs! And happy cardmaking!

There isn’t one element of this gorgeous creation that I don’t adore, Yana!!! OH do I want those inks!!! SOON! [moving is very costly, right?]

I am sad to hear that this is your last blog post for Altenew, but so glad to know that it won’t be the last time I see your incredible cards with Altenew products. As always, your card today inspires and pushes me to try new color combos (oh when, oh when is my 2 day shipping going to arrive with my new color cubes?). All the best to you and THANKS to Altenew for introducing me to amazing card makers!
