Hi there everyone!

You must be here from Erin Thompson's wonderful blog!

Welcome to the Year in Review Blog Hop!


Let's have a walk down memory lane like always, shall we? :)

Altenew Rainbow Watercolor Card

Rainbow watercolour flowers. I loved the look of this and so did you! 

Altenew White Vellum Flowers

Beautiful white vellum flowers. This was a remake of an older card using a much older Altenew stamp Peony Scrolls. I thought I would recreate it in a modern style. 


This is my favourite card! I love colouring. And I love combining alcohol markers with watercolour.


Some pencil colouring on Courageous You.


Everyone LOVED this card. It is easy. It looks beautiful!


If you don't know what to do with your Woodless Watercolour Pencils. watch this video https://youtu.be/wFCYpcmrA_s


A very textured, soft-looking card, turned out beautiful.



A video where I share how to do underpainting.







Last but not the least, this card that I love. I love colouring creases and folds. I love colouring clothes so I thoroughly enjoyed colorouing her jeans and jumper!

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Vintage Tapestry Release Blog Hop

 



Hello and welcome to the Craft Your Life Project Kit Release. 



You must be here from the Altenew Card Blog.

This month's kit is called the Vintage Tapestry and it is GORGEOUS!

I have several cards to share with you but I do apologize in advance that I won't be able to share ink names as I lost all of my data. 




I added a light colour wash on the background before adhering the images. 
All of my cards have a lot of gold splatters!




For this one, I actually added a light ink blending on the background. Each card has something different going on.




Ombre ink blending on the background and a mix of stenciling and stamping.




I used the embossing folder too on this one! So much fun and texture! Again, lots of inking on this too!




Again, I used the embossing folder on this one and on top of that, I used the stencil to apply ink through the stencil. I then ran the panel gain through the embossing folder to get all the gorgeous dimension back! So good!!



I am sure you can tell I had SO MUCH FUN creating these cards! And there is no colouring involved here! 


I hope you liked the cards and that they inspired you.

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $ 25 gift certificate to 8 winners!

Altenew NEW Sweet Moments Collection Release Blog Hop

 

Altenew Happy Petals Stamp | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hi there everyone!
I hope you are doing great!
Welcome to another fabulous Altenew release!



You must be here from Mindy Eggen's blog. If not then hop onto the Altenew blog and start over! I don't want you to miss out on any chance of getting your hands on these amazing prizes!

Altenew Happy Petals Stamp | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Both my cards feature the same stamp set but I have used different materials to color the images.
The stamp featured is called the Happy Petals Stamp Set and it also has a coordinating die with it. I also shot the video for both these cards, it is quite easy to make these so I was thinking I will share them together in one video if you would like to see it! 

Altenew Happy Petals Stamp | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

The image is heat embossed and colored with Artist Alcohol Markers. To add a bit of interest to the background, I also added a little ink blending and created an ombre look. It does look really nice and adds quite a touch to the image!



Altenew Happy Petals Stamp | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

This one has a softer look and is the complete opposite of the first dramatic card I shared. This could make a pretty card to give at someone's wedding or for mother's day, just change the sentiment :)


Altenew Happy Petals Stamp | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I heat embossed and colored the image on vellum this time and again, used the same markers for this too. 
Please do let me know if you would like to see a video and I will share one soon! 


$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 12/09/2021 for a chance to win.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Altenew Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0


Hello and welcome to the Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies Blog Hop.



You must be here from the Altenew Card Blog
Isn't this flower just GORGEOUS?!


Altenew Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

You will be surprised to read this but I stamped this flower. No watercolor this time. It was JUST SO BEAUTIFUL in all its glory! I had to just use all those layers and all the beautiful shades of inks that Altenew has! 

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I usually don't record a video when I am creating stamping projects because it takes me SO LONG to make "stamping" cards. But I set it to record so I could remember the ink names and I ended up recording the entire process. I had so much fun creating this. The video will go live on Monday, December 6th, 2021 9:00 am EST HERE.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Can you see the subtle stenciling in the background? I added that at the VERY end because I forgot to add a bit of green to my background watercolour. And if you have watched any of my watercolor videos, you know that I do add a bit of "every color main I am using" to my background to balance it. 


Altenew Build-A-Flower: Queen of the Lilies | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Inks used: Vanilla Cream, Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Sunkissed, Limeade. Lime, Fresh Leaf. Autumn Blaze, Mahogany Bark, Mountain Pine, Shadow Creek, Grass Fields, and Firefly.

Altenew Glint & Glimmer Hot Foil Plates, Embossing Folders and Stencils Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

 


Hello!

You must be here from the amazing Jaycee Gaspar's blog.



My first card features the new inks Rhodolite, Red Jasper, and Raw Amber Crisp Dye Inks.
I used Jet Black Pigment Ink by Altenew and their very awesome blending brushes to apply the ink through the Anemone Branch Layering Stencil


The stencil shifted while I was inking, so the layout is a bit off. But instead of starting with a new panel or cutting it off and loosing all that gorgeous ink blended cardstock, I decided to let it be.



The second card features the Clematis Jingle Bells 3D embossing folder and the other three inks; Green Opal, Green Onyx, and Tanzanite Crisp Dye Inks.


I embossed the panel and then used the Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink to swipe over the raised edges. It gave me such a gorgeous result. Ten I added tons of splatters from the Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set.

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by for a chance to win.
