I'm so excited to be participating in Altenew's Crafty Friends blog hop! I can't think of anything more wonderful than celebrating a community that is full of such amazing and generous people! Some of my very best friends are ones that I have met through this hobby that I love so much! I truly can't think of another example where practical strangers are so generous, kind, and supportive! It's like a really large family!

Here are the projects that I created...
I have always been a fan of Altenew's flowers! They have so much detail and I adore the multi step process, allowing me to add color depth. So when I saw the new Winter Rose set, I knew I had to have it!
I created two very similar cards, just changing up the card base color and sentiment.
Even though there are several stamping steps to complete each flower, I found them very easy to line up thanks to the printed guide on the back of the stamp set packaging. There is also something so exciting about watching each flower come to life as each layer is stamped...I love it!
On each of the card bases, I repeatedly stamped the largest rose image from the Craft Friends stamp set. Both sentiments are also from the Crafty Friends stamp set.
Before I go, I wanted to share about the current Altenew promotion!
