The main hop starts from the Altenew blog HERE.

I have a video for the first project!

Had an absolute blast creating this card! Love how it turned out, too!

The next card features the Craft-a-Flower: Narcissus
I used this one slightly differently than it was intended to give you guys another way to use it. Don't be afraid to play around with the arrangement!

The coloring book panel features the second watercolor compact: Deep Muse
I have a video for this, but it is incomplete. I added more details to the leaves in the end, including white splatters, which I didn't record.

Wow, so much inspiration in all of those cards. My favorite is the Hellebore Haven. I'm a little bias though, I get the monthly kits and have that one. I do love the red too. Thank you.

I'm certainly glad I'm not being asked to pick a favorite here, because that would be impossible, all the cards are beyond amazing!
