The Flower Challenge#91 | Colour your Flower | Reminder | Altenew

Hiya Friends,

Am back here today to share a floral card for the midway point of the current challenge at The Flower Challenge . Did Noline watercoloring, which is my super favorite way of coloring next to pencil coloring.

Over to my card,

  • Stamped Rock Trumpet outline stamp set from Altenew using InkOn3 Fadeout Ink to attempt Noline watercoloring.
  • Watercolored using Artistry by Altenew’s Watercolor tubes.
  • Trimmed the card to 5.5×4.25″ and scored the card as shown.
  • Stamped the sentiment in Jet Black cube dye ink from Altenew.
  • I gave a subtle wash of colors to define the floral sprig.
  • Then splattered the white ink liberally .
  • Few green enamel dots added as accents.
  • This is mounted onto a white A2 sized top fold card base.

Hope you like this simple card.

Old+New Products: A Project with Altenew

Hi All,

Am excited to join an Instagram Hop with Altenew for their #Altenew10thAnniversary with designers and guests across the globe.

Over to my card,

  • Have used both old and new products for making this card.
  • Scallop Frame Embossing Folder
  • Daisy Bed Embossing Folder
  • Plum Blossom Layering Die set – Used this die set to cut florals from paper pad and embossed it using embossing tools.
  • Poured Acrylic 6×6 Paper pad
  • Happy Sentiments Stamp and Die set with Desert Night dye ink cube
  • Dry embossed panels as shown using embossing folders and popped the florals at different dimensions using foam adhesives and liquid adhesive.

Instead of using colored cardstocks or white cardstocks with alcohol coloring, my idea is to diecut from pattern paper to bring out the freshness by embossing the petals and sculpting it. The lighter and darker dry embossed panels makes the florals to pop against the background. Hope you like the idea.

The Flower Challenge#90 | Add Layers | Reminder | Altenew

Hi Friends.

Am here back again to share a floral card for The Flower Challenge blog with the theme ‘Add Layers’

So this time, you have to add layers and the main focus needs to be florals as always.

Over to my card,

  • Took a 4X5.25″ card panel from Altenew’s poured acrylic pp pack.
  • Dry embossed it with Altenew Motif Tile 3D embossing folder.
  • The dry embossing shows the white core of the pattern paper at many places, which actually adds up to the elegance of the card here.
  • Then I diecut few floral sprigs and leaves from Altenew Itty Bitty Branches die set using from same pp pack.
  • These are arranged over a rectangular frame, which was die cut from Altenew’s rounded rectangles die set.
  • Altenew Fancy Hello Die set word die from white cardstocks are added above as in pic.
  • Then finally all mounted onto an off white A2 sized top fold card base.

Hope you like this simple card.

Framed Sentiments Die Set

Mix & Match Frames Die Set

I have die cut the pretty florals using Pond flowers Die set from coloured cardstocks and added depth and shadows using Artists’ Alcohol markers.

Created a shaker card using patterned paper from Poured Acrylics 6×6 pack for the Pond Die cut and added heart shaker elements with a frosty thick acrylic sheet on top to the pond die cut.

The word AMMA is also from the same patterned paper (used for the pond) using Fine Alphabet Die. All the florals and Word die cuts are assembled on top as shown here. The green focal panel is from same pp pack and its diecut using Mix & Match Frame Die set. It’s added using strong liquid adhesive. Sub sentiment is stamped on to pp and die cut using Framed Sentiments Die set and added just below the word AMMA. The focal panel is then added to the Off white card base to finish off the card.

The Flower Challenge#88 |Add a Heart |Reminder | Brutus Monroe

Hi Friends,

It’s time for the reminder card at The Flower Challenge blog with the theme ‘Add a Heart’. 

This time, used a brand new die set from my stash. Of course made use of my Gemini Junior (yet another new in my stash) which was lying for more than 1.5 yrs was put to use to diecut this beautiful intricate die set. Such a clean crisp cut in just one go!! It was too hard to photograph cards made of mirror cardstocks, tried my best not to cast shadows and got few decent clicks.

Over to my card,

  • Used Brutus Monroe ‘With Love’ Die set for the intricate diecut as well as the scripty word ‘love’ .
  • Made use of gold mirror cardstocks for the diecuts.
  • Love scripty word alone is diecut twice and doubled up to get an embossed effect.
  • These diecuts are added to A2 sized ivory white cardbase as shown.
  • Few store bought flowers in pink shades, embellishments like little hearts and pearls are added as accents.

Hope you like this sweet simple card.

Noline Watercoloring | Forever in Love | Altenew

Hiya Friends!!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my viewers and visitors here.

Whipped a quick card using my favorite Noline watercoloring. I love this stamp set called Forever in Love from Altenew for the beautiful roses and the wonderful sentiments.

Over to my card,

  • Did Noline watercoloring on the stamp – Forever in Love from Altenew.
  • Used Karin markers for coloring. These are highly vibrant juicy markers and so little colors goes a long way. I did a wet on wet coloring mostly for the larger petals and dry on wet for smaller petals.
  • Altenew’s Hot pressed Watercolor paper is the one used here and by far my favorite of all hot pressed watercolor papers I have used.
  • The focal panel is cut from Altenew’s Mix & Match Frames Die set.
  • The panel then matted over A2 sized top fold Olive green card base using foam adhesives.
  • Few heart embellishments were added as accents.

Hope you like it!
