Hello and welcome! Today we’re celebrating the release of the Altenew January Marvelous Monthlies collection! If you arrived from visiting Lilith Eeckels, you’re right on track. If you’d like to start from the top, please visit the Altenew Blog. Check the bottom of this post for giveaway information and the full blog hop list.
I have three cards to share today so let’s dive in!
Hello
My first card features the gorgeous new Meadow Breeze Craft Your Life Project Kit. I really like the sizing of the floral images in this kit. They’re perfect to cover a card front and you an turn the images many ways for variety and to fill in spaces if you don’t want to leave too much white space.
For this card, I used the coordinating coloring stencils to easily add beautiful color to the outline floral image and then I cut out the image and glued it to a background made with the Mid-Century Frame die from a previous release.
Supplies:
- Meadow Breeze Craft Your Life Project Kit
- Mid-Century Frame Die
- Small blending tools
- Ink for floral outline and sentiment: Permanent Black
- Inks for yellow flowers: Sunray, Chamomile, Snapdragon, Marigold
- Inks for pink flowers and centers of yellow flowers: Baby Pink, Fuchsia, Magenta
- Inks for stems and leaves: Bamboo, Fresh Leaf
- Ink for background: Aqualicious
Thank You
My next card features the Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations & Add-On Die Bundle. The layering stencil set in this kit includes a fun pattern stencil that I used to create this background.
Supplies:
- Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations & Add-On Die Bundle
- Small blending tools
- Ink for floral outline and sentiment: Permanent Black

You’re On My Mind
