Altenew February 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am thrilled to join Altenew for the February 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should be arriving here from the talented Jenny’s blog.

Project 1

I die cut the bookmark from white cardstock using the Botanical Bookmark Die. Next, I stamped the image from the Build-A-Garden: Morning Asters Stamp Set on it using Obsidian Pigment Ink. Then I masked it and stamped the image in the background.

After that, I used the coordinating stencil and the below Crisp Dye Inks to colour them:
Flowers – Citrus Burst, Orange Cream, Heart Beat, Rhodolite
Leaves and stems – Just Green, Hunter Green

Next, I masked the images and coloured the lower portion of the bookmark using Olive, Moss and Green Opal Crisp Dye Inks. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the Paint-A-Flower: French Marigold Outline Stamp Set using Obsidian Pigment Ink.

Supplies:

Project 2

First, I die cut the flowers, leaves and sentiment from Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock using the Craft-A-Flower: Himalayan Blue Poppy Layering Die Set. Then I inked them using the below crisp dye inks:
Flowers – Azurite, Soft Lilac, Wisteria, Pink Diamond, Lavender Fields, Hydrangea, Tide Blue
Centres of the flowers – Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze, Firebrick, Red Jasper, Citrus Burst, Bamboo, Parrot
Leaves – Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Shadow Creek, Mountain Pine, Green Onyx
Sentiment – Citrus Burst, Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze, Firebrick

Next, I assembled the images and splattered white gouache on them. After that, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Circle Quilt Cover Die. I stuck the images and the die cut piece on an A2 Jet Black cardstock.

Then I die cut the sentiment out of black cardstock and white cardstock. To assemble the sentiment, I stuck the white die cut sentiment behind the coloured die cut, slightly offsetting it to create a highlight and then offset the black die cut sentiment to the coloured die cut piece to create a shadow. I then stuck it on the card front. As the last step, I stuck the card panel on an A2 card base.
