These are interesting and very thoughtful for the giveaway itself. I love the bold colors you use and it would probably look great with black lettering or white as well. It’s deff needed in this time of crisis it seems.

You are an inspiration and I love your YouTube adventures. This HOP has such wondrous products each and everyone is a winner and must have.

Another fabulous release from Altenew, love all of the new stencils and cover dies. Your cards are lovely! Thank you for the inspiration Alexandra!
Thank you very much for demonstrating more ways to use my stencils. I have been just coloring (blending) one color onto the whole stencil and another on the next. Of course!! i don’t know why i hadn’t thought to use a deeper shade in the deeper crevices of the flower even it is part of a less deep part of the petal.
I love your simple style!
I love that you used the stencils to create!
I am now becoming a huge fan of stencils because of you. I make and donate lots of cards throughout the year and always forget the impact of a stencil for the background of a card and how quickly you can make for mass producing.
Thank you for sharing! This new release is amazing!
I always love the stunning look stencil can give to the background. Thank you for the inspiration.
Beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing your stencil techniques and reminding me that I can use water with my embossing powder.
Just perfect, love everything you created. I need to busy out my stencils now and play. Loved the video!
