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.

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.

Beauty Within Coloring Stencil 3-1

August 12, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m sharing a quick card today using the Beauty Within Coloring Stencil 3-1. This is such a beautiful stencil and so easy to use. Pulling just a few colors of inks together and you have a beautiful card.

The colors for my card today are from Altenew. They are Rose Quartz, Puffy Hearts, Razzleberry and Honey Drizzle. For the sentiment I used Altenew Moon Rock instead of my typical black ink. I kept my card simple and used just a few yellow sequins on the card panel.

The Beauty Within Coloring Stencil 3-1 really does make some beautiful cards. Again super easy to use and think of the beautiful color combinations you could use. Check out my prior post using the Beauty Within stamp set from yesterday.

To keep the soft feel of my card I grounded my panel on Fog cardstock. The soft gray really keeps the card colorful in a neutral way. Thanks for stopping by today everyone. I’ll see you back here soon.

Altenew 2020 Summer Nights Release

My card today is featuring the new Beauty Within from the August 2020 Summer Nights release. This stamp set is absolutely gorgeous! I paired it with the newly released With Deepest Sympathy stamp set. For my medium I choose to watercolor the image with Altenew inks and my Karin brush markers.

Altenew - August 2020 Summer Nights Release The background for the card was created using the Doodled Dots Cover plate. I kept my palette all white which allowed the florals to be the main focus. Here are some close up shots of the card. For some added depth, I sponged on some buttercup ink onto the background to add a highlight behind the flowers.
