For my first card project, I combined the Nesting Ovals Die Set with the well loved Gradient Cardstocks to make a nested rainbow. I cut the ovals in half leaving me with two rainbows. I nestled these two rainbows beneath a mountain scene and a die cut flower for two encouraging card themes.

The Wax Seal Sets and Bundles are a great addition to your crafty stash. I made many seals ahead of time by dropping the wax onto my Altenew Stamping Mat. Then immediately using the Wax Stamp to leave an embossed impression. Once the wax completely cools and sets, simply peel the wax off the silicone surface and it is ready to glue directly onto an envelope. If you’re not happy with the impression, re-melt the wax on the spoon for more chances to get it perfect.

I am obsessed with astrology, mainly because it satisfies the organization and order that my mind needs. And I only like my horoscope when it says nice things about the day to come. For this card, I steered away from a night sky and opted for something more abstract with Splatter Constellations Stamp and Die Set. The zodiac signs are my partner (Pisces) and I (Libra/Scorpio Cusp). I made a plus sign out of the letter I from the Altenew Fine Alphabet Die Set and placed all these elements on a Spheres and Spirals background.

I have two NEW items to showcase on my final card. The Beauty Within Stamp and Die Set is the main highlight of this card. There are awesome Simple Coloring Mask Stencil Sets that coordinate beautifully with this stamp set. I opted to use my favorite Altenew Artist Markers to color my outline images for this card. Then I paired this bouquet with the new With Sympathy Stamp Set for the times you need to comfort someone you know.

Oh, I absolutely love those first two cards. Love how you added the mountain edge and the die cut flower in white. So dramatic. And you got two cards from one oval cutting! And the design and coloring of your sympathy card, along with that sentiment, is beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration.
