Altenew March challenge from places abroad

Hello Friends!
Today I have a card made for the Altenew's March challenge - from places abroad - France. The inspiration pic provided is of a beautiful garden in the Loire valley in France -

And here is my take on the inspiration pic -
I have tried to create a similar color scheme and element placement of the central maze -

I have used following supplies -
Stamps - Altenew painted flowers and peony bouquet
               Mama Elephant free style floral
               Clearly besotted fancy sayings
Inks - Memento dew drops, Versafine onyx black
Wow sparkling white embossing powder


Bye for now.

Love,
Piyu

Best Wishes

Hello Friends,
I am in Bangalore for a month to spend some time with my hubby who's on a deputation here. I managed to get some craft supplies this time. Here is something quick that I managed to make while my baby Tania was sleeping -

I used the Altenew painted flowers stamp set with Memento inks.

I then made a similar card but this time I used my zig clean color real brush markers.


My favourite amongst the two is the one with markers.
Which one do u like better?

 I will be back soon. Until then, Happy Crafting!

Love,
Piyu

Series of cards with Winnie and Walter -7

Hello Friends!
How are you doing? I am back again with Winnie and Walter series. However, this time it is a tag and not a card.
 This tag is made from the scraps. I was not happy with the background I had created. So re tried something different on the backside of the cardstock. and then cut a tag out of it. The fuzzy cut flower was also discarded. But finally, I liked the way it turned out. The tag also has a back side. Here's it -

Hello!


This is my favorite card. I love coloring images and this was lots of fun. I used W&W's In bloom- Addie's garden stamp set. The flowers in rainbow colors are colored using Zig markers. I had to use a lot of masking to get the overlap effect.
I am submitting this card to following challenges -

Hi Friends,

I created the background for this card using W&W's Scenary big bang confetti stamp set. I colored the images using Zig markers. The flower is from the W&W's In bloom- Addie's garden stamp set and the die is from the big, the bold and the happy cutaways. I glued the Happy die cut twice - once in black and once in red to give a shadow effect.
I am submitting this card to the following challenges -
Two Challenge with Shay ( Die is glued twice in 2 colors, It's a 2 layer card)
