I recently purchased some cute pink washi tape from Altenew, and when it arrived, I realized it had a woodgrain pattern to it that I hadn't seen on the website. I immediately thought to pair it with the Craft-Your-Life: Rustic Charm set because that set has a fence embossing folder and die that I thought would look nice in pink. I covered some white cardstock with the washi tape in strips and then die cut the fence and embossed the die cut piece. I really like this fence in pink!
Since I wanted to play in this month's inspiration challenge over on the Altenew blog, I decided to use a yellow background I had watercolored and sprayed. Then I stamped and die cut a bird from the Rustic Charm set and used purple and yellow inks to color him in using the coordinating stencils and my Altenew sticky mat.
For the sentiment, I stamped "you're on my mind" from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations set and die cut it with the coordinating die. To finish the card, I added gems in purple, pink, and yellow.
