Altenew – A Year In Review Inspiration Challenge 2019

Hello there. Welcome back to my blog. I am so glad you stopped by. I made this card for the Altenew Monthly Challenge using a few of my favourite Altenew products.

Lilies are my favourite flowers, so I used the Build-A-Flower: Peruvian Lily Stamp Set to make this card. I love how realistic they look. The July Monthly Challenge picture was my inspiration.

Since I wanted to stamp the flowers and leaves multiple times, I started by placing the stamps in my Misti. Having a stamp platform makes the process easy, but it is not a requirement. You can stamp these gorgeous layers perfectly using a stamping block as well.

Below are the Crisp Dye inks I used for each layer.
Lily:
Layer 1 – Rouge
Layer 2 – Crimson
Layer 3- Velvet
Layer 4 – Citrus Burst
Layer 5 – Fresh Lemon
Layer 6 – Maple Yellow
Layer 7 – Honey Drizzle
Layer 8 – Caramel Toffee
Layer 9 – Paper Bag
Layer 10 – Jet Black

Leaves:
Layer 1 – Firefly
Layer 2 – Grass Field
Layer 3 – Shadow Creek

Next, I used the coordinating dies to cut out the stamped images.

To create the background for this card, I used an A2 Neenah Solar white 110lb cardstock and inked it using Just Green Crisp ink along with a blender brush. I then inked the edges using Hunter Green Crisp ink.

After that, I placed the die-cut flowers and leaves on the background. Once I was happy with the placement, I applied purple tape on top of them to keep them together. This helped me to ink the leaves in the background easily and also to stick the images on the card panel. I learnt this trick from Lydia Evans in the All About Layering 4 class. This is a new free course by Altenew and I definitely recommend it.

Then I used the Rose Bouquet Stencil along with Hunter Green Crisp ink and a blender brush to add a few the leaves on the background. While adding the leaves, I masked the areas that I didn’t want to ink using post its.

Next, I die cut the Frilly Frame Die from a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. After that, I stamped the sentiment from the Label Love Stamp Set using Obsidian Pigment Ink and cut it using my trimmer.

After that, I stuck the die cut frame on the background, followed by the flowers, leaves and sentiment strip. Lastly, I stuck this panel on an A2 card base.

I have listed the products used below. Thank you for visiting my Blog.
