Hello crafters, welcome to my stop in the Altenew Crafty Friends celebration blog hop! If you’ve already been joining in the fun, you should have arrived from Enza Gudor’s blog.

I wanted to work with one of Altenew’s newest stamp and die sets, Blooming Bouquet and create a dimensional background using the images. The theme of the Crafty Friends hop is to share a card inspired by one of your own crafty friends. And this card was very much inspired by my friend Yana Smakula; she is always sharing cards with detailed, dimensional floral backgrounds and I always love the results! Yana herself is such a kind person and I was thrilled to finally get to see her in real-life at Simon Says CREATE last April.

And I’ve not only got Yana as a friend, but SO many other people who have become so very dear to me. As many of you know, I work with Simon Says Stamp and my “Simon family” is very special to me; women like Heidi Crowl, Steph Leykauf, Sarah Kowalski, Shari Carroll and others. I truly love being part of Simon for many reasons, the most-important being the friendship.
I also have my best friend Ellen Haxelmans from Belgium, Maria Sabina Raita from Romania and Kelly Latevola from Ohio. These are just a few of my friends; I am truly blessed to have such special people in my life and that all of us share so many things in common, including crafting!
I was so happy to have Ellen visit me last month and spend a fun week together. That was our first time to spend REAL time together, as for the past 4 years we’ve only been able to Skype to see each other. So many special memories from that visit.
Another fun thing is that my sweet younger sister, Katrina Trapani has begun creating cards also, and has her own blog that she is starting to share her crafty ideas at! I am thrilled to see my sister get into crafting too!
Do you have a special crafty friend(s)?? Here is a fun collage of mine:

So now let’s get to the card!
The beautiful flowers and leaves are stamped in a variety of Altenew dye inks (Rubellite, Olive, Bamboo, Emerald, Mountain Mist, Turquoise, Lavender Fields and Deep Iris) and then colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I purposely chose to work with kraft cardstock on this card; not only for the way colored pencils look on kraft, but also for the warm texture. The kraft cardstock adds an earthy tone to the card design, which compliments the florals very nicely. It was fun to see the results of everything on the kraft!

Another way I added texture to the card was by covering over most of the stamped “spots” in the background with yellow Nuvo Drops (both Dandelion Yellow and Limoncello). It also gave another depth of dimension to the layered florals around the background.

The cute “hello” sentiment on the bottom corner of the card is from the coordinating Blooming Bouquet die set and is cut from yellow cardstock. I wanted to tie in a bit more of that color into the design, as I felt that pulled everything together nicely.
I hope you will check out the video below to see the card come together! And for all of the details on the Altenew Crafty Friends blog hop, be sure to keep reading!

I always look forward to your SSS Studio Mondays. Love your use of color and the many techniques you share.
I haven’t used colored pencils in a long time; thanks for the inspiration to get back to them!
I love coloring on craft. Such a different look. I love crafting with friends too. My sister and mom are the ones I wish I could craft with more. They both love far away from me.
I do love colored pencils on kraft cardstock. The colors seem so intense – perfect for these flowers. Thanks for sharing.
Love all the texture on your card. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your card is OH SO bright and cheery I absolutely LOVE it!!!! The way you popped up all of the flowers and the sentiment is just so creative. I absolutely love this inspiration, thank you so much for sharing! :)
I wish I had crafty friends. I would love to have someone to bounce ideas off of. I’m a big fan of yours Nina. I love watching your videos. You are so wonderfully creative. You inspire me often. Your card today is gorgeous. Great job.
Hi Nina ~
This is such a beautiful card Nina. I love colored pencils on kraft paper; there’s just something special about it. Popping up the colorful images and adding some Nuvo drops is the perfect way to finish off this lovely card. Your crafty friends are awesome and I’ve “met” most of them in online-land!! I have some crafty friends too and we love to get together once in awhile and craft away. Unfortunately crafting is our hobby, not our job, so we can’t do it as often as we’d like. I have a sister that loves card making too but I’m in Central NY and she’s in Boulder, CO so we can’t craft together very often. Lucky you to have a sister close by to craft with. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful week. ~HUGS~

I do love the look of colored pencil on kraft! It is its own thing. So much fun to have your sister joining in. I am having a ball with my grand-girls making cards. They have some great ideas. Their brother joins in if it’s HIS friend who needs a card! I don’t know how anybody can make a card for someone else and NOT have their heart enlarged!
Thanks for the inspiration! Makes me want to get out the kraft and get busy! I’m so glad to see the colored pencils here, I love using them too. TFS!
