Trying out an Altenew stamp set

My friend, Angie, challenged me to try out the layering stamps from Altenew.  I have only one set and it had not seen ink yet.  Challenge accepted!  Now, I don't have any of the Altenew inks.  Altenew sells their inks in groupings of 4 colors from light to dark, which are made specifically for these layering stamps.  I have Stampin' Up! inks.  So I first tried some blues:  Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, and Pretty Peacock.  The flower ended up looking like a blue/green cabbage!  Then I tried yellows:  So Saffron, Pineapple Punch, Daffodil Delight, and Crushed Curry.  At least that one looked like a flower!  My pink try actually made it onto a card!  Petal Pink, Blushing Bride and 2 layers of Rococo Rose.  Yay!!  I love it!  The stamp set is called Just For You.  I used Mossy Meadow for my cardstock and the pink layer is from the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.  I used an Avery Elle wonky die to cut the pink layer and the banner.  The word YOU is from a My Favorite Things die called Miss You.  Hope you like my card!

Cape Cod Hydrangeas

I recently returned from a trip to New England.  Everywhere you looked, the hydrangeas were in full bloom and such gorgeous colors of blue/purple.  I had to try to capture that memory with my new stamp set, Beautiful Friendship, by Stampin' Up!  I stamped the flowers in Seaside Spray and the leaves in Granny Apple Green.  A simple "thanks" done in Memento black is from the set called Here's A Card.  A little bit of hand doodling finished it off.  Hope you like my card!
