Hi from Santa Ana CA. I love your 2020 cards Amber. I think the Geometric is my fave. Your Altenew classes at Stamp Fever were so great. The Bountiful Branch wreath Xmas card you taught is still my go to card. ♡
Hey, Laurel! I enjoyed those classes too and I remember you from the class! I can’t believe the Bountiful Branch is a goto that’s awesome! That was my first official cardmaking workshop. Thanks for stopping by!
Love watching your videos. I learn a lot. Your slimline card is just gorgeous so very easy to see why it’s in the top four. I really love seeing how you combine Zentangles with your stamps. The swatch book is just lovely.

Hi from Bowie, MD. Your cards are amazing! The contrast between the black geometric background and the whispy light alcohol ink is striking. Thank you for your educational videos!!!
Thanks so much, Joni! My husband and I went to high school in Rockville, MD. We lived out there until 2021 when we moved to SoCal. I miss the fall weather, but not the wintry mix.

Thank you for the tips on alcohol ink backgrounds. I like to spend a whole afternoon doing nothing but alcohol ink backgrounds. Then I have plenty in my stash for future projects. I love the Dot Art stamp set and appreciate you showing me yet another way to use it.
Beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing.
