Hello and Welcome to
Altenew February 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop!!!
How was the hop so far? I'm sure you've got lots of inspiration on the way to here :)! If you arrived here from
Lilith Eeckels' s blog, you're right on track. If you want to start from the beginning of the hop please head on over to the Altenew Card Blog!
As always Altenew is introducing beautiful and unique stamp and die sets along with the mask stencils. I'm so excited to be part of this awesome blog hop to celebrate the Altenew February 2019 Release.
I've created three couples of cards which are showcasing three stamp sets.
First two cards are featuring Exotic Tulips set.
I then started assembling the card. I adhered the background panel on a white cardbase and foam mounted the circle panel offset on it. I cut off the part which stuck out. I then arranged the tulip flowers and leaves on the circle panel using some foam adhesive. The flowers were added twice for more dimension and interest.
The sentiment is from
Reason to Smile stamp set, a sentiment set from this release. I white heat embossed the sentiment on two strips of light gray cardstock and adhered them on the leaves. I finished off the card by adding three enamel dots from
New Day Card Kit.
I stamped the tulip flowers, stems and leaves on a Neenah solar white panel. I stamped the flowers in
Rose Quartz and the stems and leaves in
Bamboo. I used the
Mask Stencil to mask the image when needed.
I then started coloring the image. I used R301, 206, 304 and 318 from
Artist Markers set A and
C for the two of the flowers. Two other flowers were colored using R400, 403, 304, 206 and 217 also from
Artist Markers set A and
C. I added subtle yellow tone on all the flowers using C001 from the
set B.
The leaves and stems were colored the green colors from
Artist Markers set E.
The sentiment is from
Dotted Blooms set. I stamped it directly on the colored panel in some black pigment ink. I narrowed down the panel a bit and foam mounted it on a white cardbase. some clear sequins were my finishing touch.
To start off I white heat embossed the patterns from
Baroque Mitifs stamp set on a Bristol smooth paper panel. I then masked off a rectangle on the upper right corner and added payne's gray and gold watercolor on it. The size of the rectangle was decided after the golden frame I cut using
Fine Frames Cover die from the gold cardstock of
New Day Card Kit.
Next I gold heat embossed the outline image from
Dotted Blooms set on some watercolor paper, colored the flowers in pink watercolor and cut it using the
coordinating die.
I then assembled my card. The white background panel with the colored rectangle was adhered flat on a white cardbase and the golden frame was foam mounted on the rectangle. I foam mounted the branch onto the card and added some golden sequins to finish off. The sentiment from
Dotted Blooms set was stamped in
Jet Black ink.
For the next card I colored the floral branch using Prismacolor colored pencils.
I chose a gray cardstock for my coloring. I stamped the image two times on a gray cardstock in a white pigment ink and colored them using Prismacolor colored pencils. I blended the colors using white pencil or a very light tone of pink and it worked great on the gray paper. After the coloring was done I cut them using the
coordinating die.
I then prepared the cardbase. I stamped the image two times in white pigment ink on the gray cardbase as shown in the picture. I used the
mask stencil to mask the previously stamped image. To add more white onto the card I decided to go with a white partial panel.
I cut a white panel using the
coordinating die of the Dotted Blooms set two times like I wanted to place the colored images. I then inlayed the image into the negative die cut panel and foam mounted it together on the prepared gray cardbase. The sentiment from
Dotted Blooms stamp set was stamped in black pigment ink and clear heat embossed. To finish off the card I added three pink flatback pearls.
Here I wanted to use the
mask stencil as a stencil. So I gold heat embossed the biggest image from the Baroque Motifs set on a white cardstock and colored the image partially in yellow and pink. After that I cut it using the
coordinating die and applied clear glitter paste on it using the
mask stencil.
While the glitter paste was drying I prepared the gray background panel. I stamped a background pattern using various stamps from the
Baroque Motifs set. I used an embossing ink to heat emboss the images in clear iridescent embossing powder. I then cut the biggest pattern using the
coordinating die to inlay the paste embossed piece.
I adhered the background panel inclusive the inlayed shape on the white card base. To add more sparkle and a smaller focal point I added small die cut florals along with the sentiment. The little flowers were cut using
Layered Floral Elements die from some glitter paper. I white heat embossed the sentiment from
Reason to Smile set on a strip of gray cardstock, matted it with a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted it onto the card.
For my next card which is featuring the gorgeous image of the
Baroque Motifs set, I've created a vibrant background using
Altenew Artist Marker refills.
I started by applying R705, C002, Y205 and WG01 from
Artist Marker refills set B on a glossy cardstock. I blew the inks with a straw and added rubbing alcohol on the panel to blend the colors. Even before the panel was completely dry I placed a gold foil on the panel and pressed it to the panel with a brayer to add golden accents.
The biggest image of the
Baroque Motifs stamp set was gold heat embossed on some white cardstock on which I ink blended using
Citrus Burst, Honey Drizzle,
Sun Kissed and Orange Creme to create an yellow orange ombre color. The image was cut using the
coordinating die.
I narrowed down the background panel a bit, foam mounted it on a white cardbase and added the gold heat embossed image on it using some foam adhesives. The sentiment was cut using the hello die fron
Blooming Bouquet set from a gold cardstock of
New Day Card Kit.
That's it from me today! I'm so glad you're staying with me until the end of this long post :)! Hope you loved looking my cards!
