Happy Anniversary Altenew!

We are so excited to be celebrating Altenew's 2nd anniversary this week! Where does the time go? When they had their first release, I remember being bowled over by their unique style - it's so much fun to see new designs come into the market that really have such a unique style. And of course, their beautiful layering sets are just MADE for the MISTI, and we are beyond proud to be a sponsor of their celebration.

 I used three sets to create a little card set - using some ink layering techniques with the MISTI - this can really help you get a lot of value out of a small ink pad collection if you're just starting out.

The Label Love set is such a perfect graphic style for these more feminine images.  I think the pop of black is perfect for the more pastel inks.

 The butterfly - isn't it beautiful? - is from Painted Butterflies. That gorgeous flower - which to me looks like a petunia - is from Watercolor Wonders. I actually outlined the flower to match the graphic style of the butterfly. Here's the full card set.

 I made a quick video to show you the ink layering and how these sets work together in the MISTI so beautifully. I hope you enjoy it.
