Altenew November 2018 Stencil/Ink Spray Release Blog Hop + Giveaway [Closed].
Floral Cards
For my cards I used the Rose Flurries 3D Die Set and the Fantasy Floral 3D Die Set together with three of the new metallic shimmer mists: Sunkissed, Puffy Heart and Mountain Mist. For the sentiments I also used the Halftone Hearts Stamp Set with the coordinating dies.
First I sprayed the mists onto two sheets of white cardstock. On one I only sprayed the Mountain Mist spray, because I wanted to use this to later cut out the leaves, and on the other I sprayed the Sunkissed and the Puffy Heart sprays. I let them overlap and mix in some areas to create different shades of pink and orange, and because I think they just look stunning together!
You can see the beautiful shades you can achieve with only two colors on these flowers! I also used different techniques to apply the spray ink to my cardstock to achieve different looks. Apart from directly spraying the ink onto the paper, I also used a brush and the packaging technique.
On the right card (above) I also used the Wavy Grid Stencil from the new release and some Nuvo Glimmer Paste to add some texture and sparkle behind the flower cluster. And on the left card I used a polka dot embossing folder on the white card base for some added detail (unfortunately it’s difficult to see in the photos).
On this card I used the XOXO stamp from the Halfone Hearts stamp set and a gray stamp pad to create a background pattern and then layered my flower cluster on top. To make the actual sentiment on the card stand out more, I used a piece of white cardstock in the lower right hand corner and stamped “sending you love” onto it.
By the way, the beautiful envelope stickers (I used the Floral Favor Set) you can see in these photos were also recently released. And don’t they coordinate perfectly with my cards?? You can find all the envelope stickers here.
Stenciled Card
For my last card I wanted to use the Flowing Hearts Stencil together with some die cut flowers I had left over from the other cards.So first I used a foam ink blending tool to blend three different shades of pink through through one of the hearts in the stencil to create an ombré effect. I then used one of the dies from the Halftone Hearts Nesting Die Set to cut the heart out and adhered it with some foam tape to my card.
For some final touches I added some Nuvo Drops to all of the cards and that’s it! I will never ever get tired of these Altenew Flower dies and of floral clusters on cards
I hope you enjoyed seeing all these project and that they inspire you! Make sure to check out all the stops on the Blog Hop to enter for the giveaway and of course, to get lots more inspiration! The next stop on this hop is Virgina Lu.
