Welcome back for another Festive Friday!
I’m so excited because not only is today a new Festive Friday challenge, but it’s also my Altenew Educator Level 3 final! This morning, I’m conducting a local class here at my home, and hosting the Altenew Educator coordinators via video conferencing. My projects for today are two of the cards that the class will be making! So, gather some supplies and make them along with us!

Looking for ideas – here’s a few:

Oolala! Love the colors and the cutouts!
OMG! I love your card … The background is just perfect and the cut out. Love it!!
Love how you made two cards out of one panel. I will have to try this watercolor method with stencils.
Such a cool technique and the end result is stunning! Your cards are amazing! I hope your certification went well, I’m sure you did great.
Simply gorgeous!
