Altenew Creativity Inspired: Memorable Monograms

When Altenew's Creativity Inspired Contest popped up in my mailbox, I thought

I'd enter so that I could a) finally use their alpha dies that I've had for a while, and

b) crank out another Valentine card. 

 

 

I snuck in a bit of my favorite Altenew washi tape, too. Adhered it to white card stock

then cut out LOVE. I used a lined stamp and created a tone on tone plaid design

with Versamark ink on dark gray card stock. 

 

I die cut the "You" and inked it with pink dye ink, then adhered it over the O.

Some iridescent sequins finished off the card.

I'm not sure if my card fits the criteria for the contest but it was fun to make,

Thanks so much for stopping by!

CASology #378 -- STAG

The cue word for Week #378 at CASology is STAG.

 

 Here's my card featuring a discontinued Maggie Holmes stag head die.

I covered white card stock with Altenew's Painted Fantasy washi tape, then cut 

out the stag and adhered it to two more stag heads cut from card stock to form a 

thick chipboard piece. I stamped the sentiment and ran the panel through 

an embossing folder for a bit of texture.

This is total happenstance, but note how a flower bud on the tape became

the eye of the stag and he even appears to have a nose! Total chance 

but I love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!
