Hellooooo!!!
You must be here from the AH-mazing Jennifer Mcguire's blog.
Welcome to Altenew's 6th Anniversary Hop Day 1! WOOT! I am SO excited.
I was asked to join Altenew in January 2017. I remember I read May's message several times and I was like "What? NO WAY! ME? I don't even know how to talk!" HA! look at me now, making videos and chatting away! I still struggle, but oh how far I have come!
I LOVE THIS COMPANY and everything it makes! I know you love Altenew too!
Here is what I made to celebrate Altenew turning SIX!
Blinding right? LOL
I wanted to make something gold, sparkly and of course colourful!
I used Altenew Watercolour Brush Markers to colour the images. I actually have a snippet of how I coloured these images in the video I shared a few days ago. You can check it out HERE.
Whenever I colour images this way, I colour a ton of them because the colouring process is SO EASY and FAST! It's the drying time that takes a while. I let mine dry overnight. I am glad I made these when I was filming, I whipped up this fantastic card in no time.
Onto the fun stuff now!
