The colors are beautiful. I did not know the paper was going to be glossy. I thought it would be regular paper.
So I am disappointed. But it is beautiful.

I love this paper set with the same hue of colors to match perfectly! Takes all the guesswork out of building layers.

This is my second time ordering this paper and I love all the rainbow of colors!

This is my first paper order from Altenew. Surprise one is the paper is glossy. I guess I should have known given it's printed, so that's maybe on me. Surprise two, which is truly bothersome, is that the 24 sheets w/ 24 different tones are printed differently on each side...one side light to med, the other side med to dark, same tonal color. So there are really 48 different "designs", and the full ombre range for each color is not available for 1 project. Unless the paper is split vertically & 1 piece flipped over, and I don't need too much of either one. In any case, I plan to try out my layering flower dies & practice colorways. Seemed easier than watercoloring my own to cut up. Just not exactly what I expected.

Altenew papers are very good quality, they emboss well and make beautiful die-cut flowers.
