Hello SCT Friends! Today we are celebrating with our friends from Altenew on the occasion of their 4th anniversary! Altenew has a knack for designing very lovely stamps and dies that will make you swoon. I remember when they first came on the scene, and it’s so fun to see this company thriving!
I was particularly wowed by the Dodec Cover Die. I just LOVE the intricacy of this pretty die and when I put the lacy white on black, I just knew I was onto something.
When I finished my original card, I’m not gonna lie, I hated what I’d done. Does that ever happen to you? My sister looked at it, and she was far from impressed (LOL – sisters are good at honest feedback). So she said to me, “What would Laura Bassen do?” So I went back to it again, and I am SOOOO much happier with the final result! Loved pairing bold and simple stripes with the complex die cut for a wonderful juxtaposition in my design.
Let’s see what else is in store for this blog hop today…
