January - Altenew Inspiration Challenge

Hello bloggers!

First card for 2024 playing with the colours from this month's Altenew challenge - Agnieszka's pic is from the Welsh coast where I spent many a happy family holiday when I was a kid:

 






I used Blissful Blossoms with a sentiment from an older set since I needed a wedding card, Ori Kami. The background was stamped using Halftone Squares in grey distress ink.

Since getting married is an exciting start to a new phase in life I think this one also fit's Time Out's challenge with the theme of 'new'.

Happy stamping!

Claire
