Altenew 9th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway (over $2,500 in Total Prizes)

Hello and welcome to my blog! I’m thrilled to join Altenew for the 9th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway. You should be arriving here from the talented Seeka’s blog, but if not, you can go back to the start, at the Altenew Card Blog and go from there.

Project 1

First, I stamped the image from the Mini Coneflower Stamp Set on an A2 white cardstock using Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink. Next, I coloured it using the English Country Garden, Sunshine Valley Garden, Water Garden and Island Garden Artist Alcohol Markers.

Below are the colours I used:
Flowers – Pink Peal, Coral Bliss, Heart Beat, Vineyard Berry
Centres of the flowers – Citrus Burst, Fresh Lemon, Maple Yellow, Honey Drizzle, Hazelnut, Almond Butter, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate
Stems – Just Green

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Obsidian Pigment Ink.

Supplies:


Project 2

I started by foiling the image and sentiment from Spark Joy: Sweet Strawberries on a red cardstock using Brushed Gold Foil. Then I inked the edges using Jet Black, Vineyard Berry and Heart Beat Crisp Dye Inks. Next, I used the coordinating stencils to ink the strawberries and leaves using white pigment ink and Vineyard Berry Crisp Dye Ink.

After that, I die cut the frame from Jet Black cardstock using the Mix and Match Frames Die. I then stuck it on the card front and stuck the panel on a card base using liquid glue.


Project 3

For this card, I embossed the image from the Wonder Clusters Stamp Set on an A2 Jet Black cardstock using antique gold embossing powder. Then I embossed the sentiment from the Just Because Stamp Set using the same embossing powder. Next, I trimmed the sentiment panel using my trimmer. After that, I embossed the edges of the card front and the sentiment panel and assembled the card.
