I’m so excited to be taking part in Altenew’s 2017 January release and blog hop, and if you arrived here from Jennifer McGuire’s blog then you are exactly where you need to be.  Today we will be releasing 18 stamp sets, 18 die sets and 12 inks!

Today I have made three quite different cards from this amazing release starting with this sympathy card using the Be a Lighthouse stamp set.  It’s hard to tell, but I’ve popped up the whole front panel so it looks like the Dark Gray cardstock is inset.

My second card is a little more modern, using the fab silhouette girl and matching die from Let the Wind Carry You.  I’m still trying to work out if she’s holding a torch or a paintbrush…  so I’ll let you decide.  I also used some of the new colours from the release, bright greens, oranges and cool grays, it is a dream come true!

In true Altenew style the flowers from this release are amazing!  So for my final card I combined two sets together to create this sweet vase.  I used Smile More and Life is Beautiful along with some Altenew Artist Marker alcohol colouring (they are so beautiful to colour with…  I can’t wait for Altenew to make markers in all their ink colours, hint)

I was so excited when Michelle asked me to Guest at the Fusion Card Challenge, and who wouldn’t love to be inspired by this,

I decided to film as I created so you could watch the process,

I was inspired by the sketch and the photo.  I basically kept the white overall look, the snowy (dots) and the colour palette, including the pop of red.  Sketches used to scare me, I was a total colour girl, now look at me go lol. I just want to say a BIG Congrats to Fusion, I can’t believe it’s been 3 years, how wonderful!!

So head on over HERE to see what you need to do to join in the fun,
Happy Fusion Papercrafting,
