My flower die cut pieces from my Craft-A-Flower Anemone started with white card stock. I sponged each piece with Altenew inks in colors of Pink Diamond, Puffy Heart, Pinkalicious, Razzleberry, Mountain Mist, Volcano, Forest Glades.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Clover Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

September 1, 2020

Hey everyone. Today is the Altenew Build-A-Flower Clover Layering Stamp release blog hop. I’m so excited to be sharing this amazing stamp set with you today. You should of arrived here from Nicole’s blog.

For my card today I pulled out all my pretty pink inks from Altenew to use this layered Clover stamp set. The back of the packaging you will see great ink color combinations so you don’t need to guess what inks you can use to make a gorgeous image. I used Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite and Razzleberry. For my stems I used Bamboo, Olive and Moss inks.

I think this floral image would also look great if you only stamped the base color and then added detail with color pencils to create your top layers. Also shades of purple on this flower would also be stunning. Remember, it’s your creation. Make your flowers any color you want. 😉

For the background of my card, I pulled out my favorite grid stencil from Altenew and used the Pink Diamond ink. This helped to keep the background very subtle. Back ink was used for the sentiment on my card. To finish off my card I layered this panel onto light gray card stock and place this panel on a white card base. With the additional of silver confetti my card was complete.

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 5 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog by 9/7/2020 for a chance to win.

Altenew – Paint A Flower Calla Lily

August 22, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m participating in the Altenew – Paint A Flower Calla Lily blog hop today. You should of gotten here from Erum’s blog. The Paint A Flower Calla Lily is absolutely stunning and creates beautiful cards. Let me share what I’ve created.

For my first card I pulled out my Karin brush markers to watercolor the flowers. I used a color combination of yellow, pink and green. It really makes the flower pop. When I stamped the image I used versa mark and gold embossing powder. This added just a bit of glam to my card.

For texture I added on some splatter with metallic gold watercolor and some of the pink. I pulled out my vintage nuvo drops to add in some green to this card panel.

Once the panel was dried I layered it onto pink card stock and adhered it to a white card base. All that was left was to stamp a sentiment from the stamp set.

Once my first card was complete, I started working on my second card. For this card I used Copic Markers instead of watercolor. I repeatedly stamped the image towards the bottom of my panel and did some no-line coloring. For added texture I used my color pencils for detail work.

Paint-A-Flower Monthly Subscription Plan is a monthly subscription plan for our Paint-A-Flower. When signed up, you are guaranteed a spot in our monthly Paint-A-Flower releases and will receive a set each month – at a specially discounted price! ($15.99 →$12.99)

Keeping this card really simple, I added a sentiment and a few crystal sequins. I layered this panel onto black cardstock and then onto a white card base.

Hey everyone. I’m participating in the Altenew Texture Adventure Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop & Giveaway. You should of arrived here from Norine Borys’ blog. I’m playing with the Altenew Layered Geo Dies. These dies are absolutely gorgeous. Want a striking background to your card? You need these dies

There are two dies that layer onto of each other to create a beautiful background. For my bottom layer I used black card stock. For the colorful top layer, I used Altenew Block Rainbow washi tape over white paper before I ran my die through my machine.

Look how gorgeous this die works with the washi tape. The sentiment is from the Crafty Life stamp set from Altenew.

Using the same approach for my next card, I used the Marsh Land washi tape and the Stacked Diamond die cut. I adhered the large roll of washi tape over an A2 card panel to create this beautiful background. Placing the Stacked Diamond die cut on top of these piece, I embossed the die into the paper. I finished the card off with a simple sentiment and a few gems.
