Pretty in Pink, with Maresa

Pretty in Pink, with Maresa

Altenew is my continuing obsession.  Each time we get in a new order of these fabulous stamps, I always find one or two new "favourites".  

This class features great tips and tricks for stamp and die aligning, picking palettes for colour layering and will give boost your confidence if you haven't quite decided to take the leap into multi-layer stamping.  No colouring is involved, so don't be afraid! :)

These cards can be easily adapted to any occasion, and a variety of sentiments will be provided. Alternately, you can leave the sentiments blank and stamp them to suit as the need arises.

This month you will be creating two Christmas cards, and two all occasion cards.  This floral card can be adapted for pretty much any need, just by changing up the sentiment stamp. A selection of stamps will be available for your use.
