Altenew April Inspiration Challenge

It has been a long winter here! I woke up to snow on the ground again! Next winter may be a time for travel to a warmer climate! This month's challenge at Altenew had me thninking of aldohol ink backgrounds. These backgrounds are so much fun to make, but can be alittle ovewhelming for card designs. I had four backgrounds made in no time at all. As you can see, I only used two of them for partial backgrounds.

I chose a Poppy as my flower for this one. It was colored using alcohol markers. When I showed my card to my husband, he thought I should use roses as that was the inspiration challenge photo. So, of course, I gave it a try.

The set I used was Antique Roses so I automatically thought vintage and thus the look for this card.

I have a few friends in mind that really love the vintage look, so this one will have a new home soon.

I think this is my favorite from today's sampling. And I have 2 more complete backgrounds to play with. This card has multiple layers but is still a simple layout. The flower is my attempt at watercoloring. I like the way it turned out.

Well, that's all for now. Happy Stamping!
