Altenew 7th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway

Hello and welcome everyone! I am so excited and happy to be part of the Altenew 7th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 
I have been a big fan of Altenew from the day they were born so this is a very special celebration for me :)
 

It's gonna be a long post so let's start. You should have come here from CiLi in Papers blog. I have two cards for you today. I chose to create some mixed media cards for today.
 
Card 1

For this card I used  the Incredible, Retro Plantines and Label Love stamp sets along with the co-ordinating dies. I also used the Delicate Mandala die and the Sketched Lines Stencil.
I used Spellbinders Journey Gel plate to create the background using some journey paints and Altenew Delicate Mandala die. Add texture using the Ranger Crackle paint through the stencil.
I used white embossing powder and Altenew watercolors to create the flowers.
 
 
Stamp the leaves and sentiment. Assemble the card together. To finish, add some enamel dots.
 


Card 2
 
For this card, I used the Delicate Mandala die along with the Wild Flora stamp and dies along with the Label Love stamp.
I started with the gel plate and some acrylic paints to create the background using the Mandala die. I then stamped the florals and added color using copic markers. Die-cut the images. Die-cut the image using white card stock 3 more times and stack them all for added dimension.
 
 
Stamp the sentiment and flick some gold silk.


The next stop in the hop is Caly Person :)

Hi from Helena, Montana. Happy Anniversary, Altenew!. This card is beautiful. I love how the flowers cover the entire front, but there is still plenty of "white space" to keep it light and soft.
