Hello everyone! Today I’m very excited to be joining to Altenew's A Year in Review Blog Hop. Altenew such a great company with amazing talented designers. And I’m very pleased to be able to show you the Top of my cards of this year. You probably came from amazing Vicky Papaioannou. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Altenew blog and see what other members of Altenew’s design team have come up with (and also you have a chance to win a prize on each hop node).
This year was very productive for me. If you don't know, I'm started making cards in a middle of 2016. And I'm so excited to get inspiration from Altenew products, because I love them so much! As you know, I love to make floral cards, and use colored pencils, alcohol markers or watercolors for coloring.
This year I was lucky to be a guest designer for Altenew in March, it was a great honor for me!!!
Here are three cards I made as a guest designer for them.
