October 2024 Inspiration Challenge

-

 

Hello, today I’m sharing a card I created for the Altenew October 2024 Inspiration Challenge.







 

Altenew products used for this card include:

  • Blooms of Friendship Stamps and Dies sets
  • Piped Waffle Die
  • Set F - Sunshine Valley Garden Alcohol Markers
  • Featured Sentiments Die Set 


I started by stamping the single flower on a piece of Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 80lb. cardstock three times.  I used the Pinkalicious (R504) marker to color the petals by flicking from the center outwards and from the top downwards, leaving a white space in the middle.  To connect the top and bottom sections I filled in the white space with the Pink Diamond (R502) marker.

 

To give each bloom some more depth I used the Razzleberry (R616) marker for the very center   and finished with the Maple Yellow (Y207) marker for the stamen.

 

I stamped the word “Friendship” on a piece of cardstock similar to the Purple Wine ink, heat embossed it with white embossing powder and die cut it out.  The “makes life more beautiful” portion of the sentiment was stamped with Versafine Black Onyx Ink on white cardstock and cut out with the coordinating die.

 

For the background I cut out the “Piped Waffle Die” from another piece of Neenah Solar White Cardstock and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock cut down 4.875” x 3.375”.

 

I cut a piece of purple cardstock measuring 5.125” x 3.875”.  The golden cardstock was cut to 5.125” x 3.625”. I adhered the golden cardstock to the purple wine cardstock and the white cardstock with the die cut was adhered to the golden cardstock.

 

I used a glue dot to adhere the flower on the bottom and foam squares to adhere the remaining two flowers. The sentiments were adhered with double sided adhesive foam strips.  To finish off the card and add a little shine I added seven clear saucers from my stash.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

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 ...
