Hi there, everyone!
Welcome to the Altenew May 2025 Release Hop + GIVEAWAY!
The Altenew hop starts HERE.
As always, I had an absolute blast creating the projects for this release - I didn't have enough time to play with all the products, but GOSH! This was SO MUCH FUN!
My first card features the GORGEOUS Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias.
I added soft inking to the background to accentuate the flowers. I like how this one turned out. You will notice I used this particular color palette quite a bit.
My second card features the Mini Delight: Potted Shelves Stamp & Die Set.
I watercolored the background. The shelf is gold heat embossed, and the die-cuts are colored using Artist Alcohol Markers.
I used the Opera Lemon watercolor tube to create my faux-fireflies!
The third card features Build-A-Garden: Tranquil Trail.
Absolutely adore this one; brings a smile to my face :) It looks so pretty!! The ink shades are quite muted in person.
The fourth card features only the stamp from the Build-A-Garden: Tranquil Trail and one of the vases from the Pitcher Vases 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set.
The fifth card is super simple. This one features the Lace 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Creative Cuts: In the Woods Layering Die Set.
I used Cloud White Pigment Ink on the embossed pattern and added Mother of Pearl Gem Sparkles for the bling.
My seventh card is a one-layer card with a significant amount of masking, featuring only the stencil and sentiment from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias.
