Altenew Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY

Hello and welcome to the Altenew Stamp and Die release for March.

You must be here from the Altenew blog.

I have three projects to share with you today.

For my first card I used the beautiful Springtime Azalea and Family Matters stamp sets. As always, Altenew has made beautiful layered floral stamps but for my card I only used the outline stamp. I used Blush crisp ink for the flowers and Frayed Leaf crisp ink for my leaves and coloured the image using Primacolors.

The sentiment is from Family Matters stamp set.

The flower center was stamped with Cosmic Berry crisp ink.

I also added a few splatters of Frosty Pink Metallic Ink Spray to my card front along with some black watercolour.

Though this is coloured directly on the one layer card but I like how dimensional it looks because of the shading.

Prismacolor pinks used: 1018,928 and 929 were the main colours the rest I added for shading 195,1031,930,1081

On to my second card.

This is such a fun set with many possibilities! The Hug Me stamp set has quite a few hand drawn foxes and sentiments.

For my card I used Ruby Red, Caramel Toffee, Warm Sunshine, Bamboo and Volcano Lake Crisp Inks to create my rainbow "Hug Me" and then die cut the image with a coordinating die.

I used glossy accents on my rainbow "Hug Me" for the extra boost of colour.

The black hearts are from something special which will be revealed soon *wink wink*.

I don't know if you noticed but I used the Halftone Stencil to emboss my card front!

Now on to my final card.

I used the Layered Cupcake stamp set to create this vintage watercolour look.

I stamped the cupcake using Warm Sunshine Crisp Ink

I made the lemon slice by partially stamping one of the circles in the stamp set and then added details to it with my brush and watercolour to make it look like a lemon slice.

For the base I watercoloured some stripes using Gansai Tambi watercolour and diluted Warm Sunshine Metallic Ink Spray. Added a few flicks of the same to my card front as well.

I hope you liked what I had to share today. I tried my best to have a variety in my projects.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Camellia Release

Hello all!

So happy you stopped by my blog today!

I wanted to thank you all for the wonderful and encouraging comments you have been leaving for me. Thank you very much!

Altenew has released this gorgeous Camellia flower and die set and I used it on two cards today.

First off is my pencil coloured version of it.

I recently bought Prismacolor pencils, I am still learning how to use them. I shared a card over at Altenew blog yesterday and that was my first time using these pencils. Today is my second try and though the flowers look gorgeous, I don't enjoy colouring with them very much. I love my Faber Castell kids pack more :p

I did a bit of masking to add leaves and one of the flowers (the partial one at the top). This is a big flower, you will love it!

For my card background I kept the pencil pressure very low because I wanted the texture of the paper to show up and vice versa for the flowers and leaves.

Here is my second card, which is simpler.

I did a bit of masking to create my main panel. This flower is so gorgeous that it works well even without adding colour to it.

That is all from my side.If you just happen to stop by my blog, make sure to hop on over to Altenew for a chance to win $30 gift certificate. They will be drawing three winners from all the comments left on THIS post.

Thanks for stopping by!

Altenew March Release Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY

Hello and welcome to Altenew March Release Blog Hop!

You have arrived here from Lisa Spangler's blog.

If you have happened to land on this post randomly then please know there is a hop list at the end of this post and you are absolutely welcome to hop along with us.

This time Altenew will be releasing 7 stencils, 12 ink sprays (metallic), 13 new colours in cardstock and 7 coloured envelopes!

PHEW that is A LOT of awesome new stuff!

I feel weird that I have just one project to share with you. Unfortunately I had very little time on my hands. Here is what I made.

I can't believe I made a pretty card!

I mean I love my bold, grungy watercolour look but this one looks so pretty and "clean" LOL

I have used Beautiful Day and Halftone Hello stamp sets for my card along with the new stencil (Sketched Lines) and ink spray.

I used the beautiful Frosty Pink metallic ink spray as my watercolour for my flower!

Doesn't it look beautiful?!

It has a gorgeous shimmer and whats amazing about these sprays is that the shimmer doesn't stick to the base. I mean it does a bit but just a couple of shakes and its all mixed beautifully. You don't have to keep on shaking the bottle like a lunatic to get all the shimmer to mix with the liquid part.

This shot above is an odd one but I had to take it an angle to show off the shimmer.

The gorgeous sequins that I have used are from Dress My Craft.

To celebrate this release Altenew is giving away $50 to three lucky winners.

Please leave a comment on the Altenew blog by Thursday, March 16th at 11:59 pm EST for a chance to win. The winners will be announced on the Altenew blog on Friday, March 17th.

The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge Blog Hop with Altenew + GIVEAWAY

Hello!

Those who follow me on Instagram already know how much I love to colour and try my best to take part in Kathy Racoosin's The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge.

For me this is the time where I push myself and try new things. Last time, I tried rainbow coloured hair! You can check those out HERE and HERE.

The beauty of this challenge is that there are no rules! You can colour for hours or just a few minutes! The goal is to colour something everyday for 30 days, and it's no biggy if you miss a day.

Here is what I created for this hop.

Right click and open in new tab for larger view. 

I used foliage from Altenew's Remember This stamp set and the greeting from Spring Daisy stamp set.

I did quite a lot of masking to make this bouquet and oh god the no-line pencil colouring took me AGES to complete but I am SO glad with the result! I love this card, I think I will be framing it.

For my two main flowers, I stamped them separately so that I can cut it out and pop them up for some dimension.

I added some grey shading outside the lines to give an illusion of shadow.

Here is a closer look at the pencil detail.

I used the kid's Faber Castell Classic pencils for this piece.

The gorgeous sequins are from Dress My Craft.

There are 22 fantastic blogs taking part in this hop with MANY prizes along the way.

For more information please visit the Altenew blog. Altenew will be giving away $30 gift certificates to TWO lucky winners!

This is not all!

Leave a comment here and I will be drawing a winner as well for a $15 gift certificate.

I will contact the winner personally so please don't forget to leave your email address or remove the option of no-reply to comments.

That is all from my side today!

Have a great day.
