Altenew April 2025 Inspiration Challenge


My first time trying the monthly inspiration challenge at Altenew and I am sliding in just under the gun on this one. Note to self...do the challenges at the first of the month.🤣

Here is my card for the April 2025 Inspiration Challenge 




When I saw Amy's photo I knew that the Altenew Mixed Foliage layering set was perfect for this challenge. I started out die cutting the Mixed Foliage flowers and leaves in Neenah white cardstock. I placed all of the die cut pieces on my Altenew 9x12 Sticky Mat to hold them in place while I added the ink blending.

Using the Altenew Small Blending Brushes I blended the flowers with Frosty Pink and Coral Berry from the Altenew Red Cosmos Fresh Dye Inks. For the flower centers I blended them using Toasted Mauve and Redwood from Altenew Woodland Escape Fresh Dye Inks. The leaves were then blended with Frayed Leaf and Frosted Glades from the Altenew Green Fields Fresh Dye Inks.



I die cut the hello sentiment from the Altenew Hello and Hugs Stamp & Die Bundle. The sentiment from the Hello and Hugs Stamp set was stamped on to the die cut in Versafine Clair Nocture ink. The small sentiment add-on is also from the Hello and Hugs Stamp set.

Using a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of Altenew Mountain Pine cardstock I embossed the panel with Altenew Connected 3D embossing folder so that I could bring in the darker background from Amy's photo.

This was fun and I will definitely have to do it again. Have you tried one of the inspiration challenges?
