Hello crafty friends! We’re celebrating Altenew’s 11th Anniversary with an inspiration-packed blog hop! There are tons of giveaways and some special offers you won’t want to miss—so be sure to stick around until the end of the post!
Today’s card features a few fun products I’ve been eager to try out—like wax seals and shimmer relief paste!
I had a blast creating a focal point using the Parchment Scrolls and Quill & Ink Well layering die sets, and just mixed in some of my favorite Altenew cardstock colors.
I add a wax seal to my parchment using the Cosmic Berry wax beads and Tulip Motif wax seal.
I wanted to add a little extra shimmer and interest, so I grabbed the Squiggly Lines stencil and spread on some Brushed Pyrite Shimmer Relief Paste—such a simple way to make it pop!
I wrapped it up with a sentiment from the One-Go Solid Sentiment Strips and Die Set—super quick and easy for a clean finish!
