Altenew Fresh Start Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to the Altenew January Release! 

You must be here from the talented Terri Koszler's blog.

Please start at the Altenew blog to view the complete release.

I used the Vintage Garden Stamp & Die & Coloring Stencil Bundle to create quite a few images using Jet Black Mixed Media Ink, Magenta, and Pastel Sunrise Dye Inks. I was having so much fun hence the three cards.

For my slimline card, I started by ink blending Magenta Dye Ink mainly through the Vintage Garden Colouring Stencil. In some areas, I added a bit of Pastel Sunrise and it added such a cool look to the image!

Once I was done, I stamped the outline image in Obsidian Ink. 

For my background, I used 9 x 12 Watercolor Cardstock by Altenew. Which is quite textured, as you can see. I coloured my panel with the same colour inks. Then I added a few black paint splatters.

After adhering the stamps, I stamped the sentiment. 

I do have a video for these three cards I made but I had no time to edit it. How do you guys find the time to create videos and upload them for each project you make? I do shoot them, but they are left in my laptop collecting dust :/

For my second card, I used only Magenta Dye ink on the flower and  Jet Black Mixed Media Ink  on the leaves. I applied the black ink with a light touch so that it appeared more ombre than one solid colour.

For my background, I used the A2 Watercolour Cardstock by Altenew and the Jet Black Watercolour Brush Marker to create a dramatic look. 

The sentiment is from the Block Sentiments Stamp Set.

Again, I used the colouring stencil and only Jet Black Mixed Media Ink to colour. In some places, I tried to use a light touch for a shaded effect.

The sentiment is from Block Sentiments Stamp Set.

On A2 Watercolour Cardstock, I heat embossed the image in Antique Gold Embossing Powder. I then used the Watercolour Brush Markers to colour the images. 

I also added a lot of gold and black paint splatters.
