Hello friends!
Welcome to Altenew's March Stamp/Die release hop.
I have four projects to share with you today. They are all relatively clean and simple so there is not a lot of explaining to do.
My first card uses the following products:
I used the Dotted Scales Debossing Die to die cut a panel, snipped off some portion from the top and adhered plain cardstock there. I covered up the cut line with a strip of light gray cardstock.
I watercoloured my stamp images with these two brush markers I have by Kuretake. They are not zigs. I use them for brush lettering practice.
The sentiment is from Sincere Greetings Stamp Set.
Isn't the pattern just beautiful?
Next up, my second card uses
On this card I used the Dotted Scales Die as is and added pearls to the connecting points. I glued the pearls more spaced out as I went down the panel.
The sentiment is from Mega Succulent Stamp Set. I heat embossed it on vellum with Pure White Embossing Powder.
Next up is my third card.
On this card I did a little masking and built my border using the stamps from Focus on You Stamp Set.
I coloured the stamps with Artist Markers and added shadow with a gray pencil.
Now onto my last card.
Product used
Again, I went with a simple design. I cut out Miss You several times to make my own chipboard words. The top most layer was inked with distress inks.
I added white paint splatters to the card front and a strip of washi behind the stamped sentiment. I also covered my die cuts generously with glossy accents.
That is all from my side today, now on to the good stuff.

Beautiful cards and creations. Your coloring is amazing! The Dotted Scales Die is so lovely!! Your congratulations card is so elegant.
Awesome cards! My favorite was the last one. Very striking against the black. Thank You!
Stunning gorgeous cards! I love the variety of ways you used the products - very inspiring!
Beautiful project. Love all the added embellishments. Thank you for inspiring me today
I love those delicate purple flowers on your first card with just the right amount of sequins on it. I especially love the yellow centers because yellow is my favorite color in the whole wide world. I also love that pink ribbon. The background is so amazing but I don't own a die cutter so I can't possible do what you did. Darn it all!
Your pink card with the pearls is so stunning and girly. It reminds me of a pink sweater I used to have a long time ago.
There are those cute tiny flowers again and I still love them! If I win, these are one of the stamps I want. They can be used for any kind of card.
I love, love, love how you did that miss you card. Again, no die cutter for me. I love how you did the black background because it makes the other colors pop.
Thank you for showing us your pretty, colorful, creative cards and for giving us the chance to win something.
Your work is simply stunning!! Maybe one day I can grow up and color like you. TFS.
Oh your pink card is so feminine! And your other images are beautifully colored. Very nice!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards.
