Altenew August 2024 Inspiration Challenge

-


Hello!  

I am sharing a card I created for the Altenew August 2024 Inspiration Challenge.  


For this card I used the “Morning Glory” Stamp, Die and Stencil set from Altenew.

 

I started by stamping the flowers on a piece of Neenah Solar White Classic Crest Cardstock with Gina K. Designs Amalgam Ink.  I used the Morning Glory Stencil Set to color the image with Altenew’s Fresh Dye Inks:

 

Flower Petals:  Berry Mocha, Coral Bliss and Pink Pearl

Leaves:  Green Opal, Mossy Meadow, Pistachio

Stamen:  I used the blending brush with some Coral Bliss Ink still remaining on it and added some Altenew Crisp Dye Ink in Sunkissed. 

 

I also used Prismacolor Colored Pencils in Terra Cotta (PC944), Henna (PC1031), Kelp Green (PC1090) and Moss Green (PC1097) to add some shading for added dimension.

 

I die cut the flowers using the coordinating Die Set and set aside.

 

The sentiment is also from the “Morning Glory” Stamp set.  To add a little shine, I stamped it with Versamark Watermark Ink and covered it with Simon Says Stamp Ultra Fine Black Embossing Powder.  After heat setting it, I die cut the sentiment with the coordinating die.

 

I used the “Mix and Match Frames” Die set to cut out the background layers from Neenah cardstock and a piece of cantaloupe-colored cardstock I had in my stash.

 

After adhering the background and flowers to the cardbase I added the sentiment by popping it up with a piece of Darice Adhesive Foam.

 

To finish off my card I added some more shine with Vanilla Luster Fusion Sequins from Studio Katia.

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Memory Box Cauldron Witch

  Hello!     Today I’m sharing a fun Halloween card I created with the Cauldron Witch and Fancy Gate Globe Dies from Memory Box.   To create the gate, I sprayed some Iron Gate Distress Mica Stain on a piece of black cardstock.  After it was dry I used the Fancy Gate Globe Die from Memory Box to cut it out.  Note: I used a lightweight black cardstock for the gate.  I recommend using a heavier weight cardstock so the gate won't be flimsy.   For the wall background I cut a piece of light gray cardstock down to 4.125” x 5.375”.  I used the “Small Brick Wall” stencil from My Favorite Things and ink blended some Lost Shadow Distress Ink on the gray cardstock.   I adhered the gate to the cardstock wall, about .5” up from the bottom.  I used Eclipse Masking paper to mask off the sides and I added some Black Soot Distress Ink to give the appearance of a path leading up to the gate.  I also put the stencil down again ...
