Hi everyone!
Today with Altenew we are celebrate our unique community. Every day I meet fantastic and talented people, which inspires me so much.
I start my cardmaking life few years ago, until that time I was passionate mixed - media artist and scrapbooker, can you believe? :) But I still love make albums and from time to time I take out box with paints :)
I can still picture that day when I turned out to cardmaker )) I had saw amazing layered stamps by Altenew (Vintage roses set:)) on my friend's project. From that day I could neither eat nor drink I started making cards)) So I can be sure that Sveta and Altenew are my "cardmaker creators")))
For today I prepared a card with my other favorite stamps from Altenew. I colored with Copic markers beautiful flowers from Sketchy Floral Stamp Set, then I stamped and cuted out a biggest frame from the Framed Stamp stamp Set and added colorful sentiment from Crafty Friends Stamp set.
Also I putted a heart with second part of sentiment inside of the card.
Smallest heart I cut out from vellum and biggest from white cardstock using Halftone Hearts Die Set.

ReplyDeleteI have so many that inspire me but thanks to the internet I would have to say Jennifer McGuire is my source of inspiration. However, she introduces me to so many other via her blog.
ReplyDeleteIt’s difficult to list one when there are so many who inspire us to make cards everyday, but if I have pick one it’s going to be Jennifer McGuire! I learn so much from her tutorials everyday that I’ve been spending recklessly buying craft supplies!

when I was around 21 and I just got into paper crafting from there.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the colors you chose and the frame really enhances it. My daughter-in-love inspires me. I have learned so much from her, and she has encouraged me in my "artistic" journey. She is a painter, and does beautiful birds in oil pastels and acrylics, but she has only nice things to say about my projects. Thank you so much.

I love the colors you chose for this card! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a very pretty card. Thank you for this beautiful blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI thought about this carefully, and I'd have to say my mother was my biggest inspiration. She was my first example of craftiness. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, cooking, letter writing, and much more. Everything had her unique style and creativity. I'm sure I got my love for creating from her. Nice to think of that again.
DeleteThe images on your card are beautiful, and they are set off wonderfully with the frame - so real looking!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!! I love the frame stamp around your card.
ReplyDeleteThe person who inspires me most is my friend Michelle. She fights through the hard stuff of life in a courageous way.
ReplyDeleteYour framed up scene is just stunning.... it immediately draws you in and the colors are so beautiful together!! Thank you so much for sharing your inspiration with us. :)
ReplyDeleteI would have to say when I first started card making I watched all of Jennifer Mcguire's videos and learned so much from her, not only techniques but about products. Thank you Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your creativity!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty! My mom inspires me!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started following card blogs, I was inspired by Debbie Olsen. Your card is lovely!!
ReplyDeleteLove your copic colouring - soooo pretty! I'm inspired by so many crafters including Laura Bassen, Erum Tasneem and Therese Calvird, to name a few :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been most influenced and inspired by my mother. Even though I'm the one who introduced her to stamping, she demonstrated creativity to me throughout my life, whether she was sewing, quilting, remodeling, cooking...she was always using her hands and her mind to make something.
ReplyDeleteYour design is fabulous!love the frame, this is a wonderful piece of art! I believe you and how fortunate are we that Sveta and Altenew put you into card making! I started out as a scrapbooker and have gone back and forth with it, lately life has become hectic and had slowed my crafting a lot, but I enjoy my craft escapades from time to time and I truly enjoy hops like this were so many talented crafters come together! Thanks for all you share!
ReplyDeleteI love the frame around the front image and the heart in the interior. It's a lovely design!

ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful! I am inspired most by my friend, Andrea. I taught her about paper crafting and she taught me about jewelry making. Now she makes incredible journals and mixed media paintings. She moved away about 5 years ago, but we still call each other and bounce ideas off each other and send pictures back and forth for ideas.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say Jennifer McGuire is my favorite, but I follow so many blogs. Thanks to the internet these talented individuals can share their work. Fabulous card.

Wow! What a lovely card! I love this crafting community and the fact that it can bring people together from all over the world. I have "met" some wonderful friends in places like Florida (USA) and even New Zealand! I think the four top names in the crafting world who inspire me are: Christina Griffiths, Becca Feeken, Jennifer McGuire, and Erum Tasneem
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card! I would love to receive one like it. :-) I love the frame feature.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful card! I love how you framed the image with the new frame stamps. It makes the artwork look more finished. I've been making cards for 15+ years now. I get a lot of inspiration from the bloggers online and the beautiful cards they make!
ReplyDeleteThe person who inspired me the most in cardmaking was a lady named Karen who was a teacher at my local stamp store. I was just starting out in this craft and I took some of her classes and was hooked. She was a watercolour artist and the way she was able to bring the images to life was fascinating! Today I follow many artists online including Altenew's family of creators.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. Thanks for sharing...
