Have Faith Card for Altenew

I have some fun news: I've been blessed with the tremendous privilege of being a guest designer for Altenew! What a fantastic experience! I'll share more over the next month as the products I've been playing with get released on the Altenew website. Today I'm starting with the first one to be released: Have Faith word die set. The set is free with a purchase of $59 or more from Jan. 3-5, 2025. 

For this card, I used a soon-to-be-released 3D embossing folder and stencil set called Serene Garden. I chose colors in Altenew's Warm & Cozy collection to color in the butterfly after embossing the panel. Then I die cut the shadow from the Have Faith word die set out of black ink cardstock and die cut the "Have Faith" words out of white cardstock. I ink blended the Have Faith words on the white cardstock using the same Warm & Cozy inks I used on the butterfly. To finish the card, I added a bit of black splatter using a fine paintbrush and dipping it in Altenew's Jet Black spray.
