Gorgeous sunsets and an Altenew Blog Hop

Gorgeous sunsets and an Altenew Blog Hop

Welcome to a Blog Hop to celebrate and showcase the September 2026 release from Altenew. And today? I have a card that I think I’m in love with:

As soon as I saw the Woodland Silhouette Stamp Set, I knew I wanted to create a night sky scene, so I looked up “sunsets” online and found my inspiration, which you can see in the video.

I had a small greeting from the One-Go: Solid Circular Sentiments from a recent project and I thought it was the perfect minimal greeting for this card. Here is my video tutorial:

Today’s card is part of a hop with giveaway!

    Wow! Cathy, I absolutely love your color choice and ink blending! I have problems to create smooth ink blending with dye inks, no matter how lightly and of paper I am applying inks. Your background is breath taking. Thank you for sharing.

    Watched your video to see the colours and the inspiration video! That last colour is really the chef’s kiss! Love the splatter and covering the tree area with the acetate is so smart! Love your card!

    What a beautiful card! You certainly caught the colors of the night sky. I always forget about ink blending with a silhouette stamp set so I’ll have to try this. Thanks for sharing!
