I used the New Purple Gradient Cardstock to die cut the layers of the flowers and the Sea Shore Gradient Cardstock for the leaves. 

To give the leaves and flowers a bit of dimension, I used some matching dye inks to ink the edges using the Small Blending Tool. 

For the background, I used the Fine Tulle Stencils and through it applied a bit of Deep Iris and Lagoon Crisp Dye Inks.

: Altenew Vintage Galore Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to the Vintage Galore Blog Hop. Altenew's January Release.

You must be here from Virginia Lu's blog.

My first card features the Golden Days Simple Coloring Stencil. I have a video for this and another card where I will share the mix of ink families I used to create this color palette. The video is coming up on January 10th so be sure to check it out here on January 10th at 9:00 am EST.

For the sentiments, I used the die from the Craft-a-Flower: Primrose Layering Die Set and die cut it using the Gilded Glitter Cardstock. the "Sparkle on, Darling" is from the Sentiment Strips 3 Stamp Set stamped in Obsidian Ink.

This card features the Golden Days Stamp Set and the Dotted Tile Debossing Cover Die.

I heat embossed the images in Rose Gold Embossing Powder and colored them using the Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set.

I also die-cut a circle out of the Gilded Glitter Cardstock using one of the dies from the Halftone Circles Die Set.

For this card, I used the Golden Days Mask Stencil to create a one-layer panel. I had a lot of fun creating this look and it turned out fab too! 

Then I used the Fine Liner Pen Set to doodle an outline around the flower and the leaves. I love how this one looks!

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? :)

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

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.

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.
