  • Took a sheet from Neenah solar crest and stamped the image from Always Be kind from Altenew.
  • Then using Altenew Always Be kind stencil and stencilled the stamped image using Altenew crisp dye inks.

And over to my card,

  • On Ohuhu marker sheet, I stamped Altenew Be Kind Bellflowers using Limestone Crisp dye ink.
  • Coloured the image using Copic markers.

  • Then sentiment from Altenew Belladonna lily stamp is stamped over a ohuhu marker sheet strip and added as shown in the picture using foam adhesives.
