Hello crafty friends!
Today, I am delighted and honored to help Altenew celebrate their 6th Anniversary! In light of current events, Altenew considered cancelling their celebrations. However, they want to use this blog hop to spread joy and encourage others to give back/ be there for one another during these challenging times. Subsequently, Altenew has donated 6K to relief organizations that are working to help vulnerable populations. Watch this short video to learn more.
I have TWO cards for this hop.
For my first card, I used the Simple Beauty stamp and dies, Pen Sketch Mandala stamp, Altenew Crisp dye inks in Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite (Cherry Blossom set), Parrot, Olive and Warm sunshine. I also used patterned paper from Verdant Walk paper pack and Antique Gold embossing powder.
I started by cutting a white mat layer and sponged the warm sunshine ink to it. I then cut the stripe pattern paper and adhered it to the panel diagonally. Now I embossed the image and stamped the layers using various inks. Die-cut the images and adhere to the layer. Adhere this layer to the cardbase.
To finish, I used some crystals.
For the SECOND card, I used one of my favourite Watercolor Halftone stamp and dies. I used inks in Bamboo, Just Green, Fresh Lemon, Autumn Blaze, Puffy Heart, Rubellite, Heart Beat. I also used patterned paper from Verdant Walk paper pack and the
Artists Watercolor 24 pan set to create the background wash.
Artists Watercolor 24 pan set to create the background wash.
I started by taking a watercolor CS layer. I applied some blue watercolor to create the wash. Let this dry and flick some gold splatters. Adhere some of the patterned paper to 2 sides of this layer. I then stamped the floral cluster using multi-color stamping technique. I would prefer to have a stamping tool like Misti for this technique as that makes it easier to stamp in the same position using various colors. Die-cut the image. Adhere to the layer and adhere the layer to the cardbase.
To finish, I adhered some black crystals.
The next stop in the hop is the wonderful Galina Filippenko
