~ Sathya ~ 1 Comment

 Hi Craftypeeps,

Made a floral card today using Altenew’s Sweet Cluster Stamp & Die set along with the beautiful Diamond Stars 3D Altenew Embossing Folder. These stuffs are new in my stash and was there for more than a month now. Just got time to ink it away today for the current Turquoise challenge over at The Flower Challenge.

Over to my card,

  • Stamped Altenew’s Sweet Cluster mini stamp over a watercolor cardstock using Antique Linen DI to do No line watercoloring.
  • Karin brushmakers are used for Watercoloring.
  • Then diecut using co-ordinating die and foam mounted onto a white focal card which is dry embossed using Altenew Diamond stars 3D embossing folder.
  • Sentiment from same stampset is white heat embossed over a black cardstock and cut and foam mounted on dry embossed panel.
  • Then the panel is mounted over a Teal A2 cardbase.
Hope you like it!

You are Precious : Dainty Bouquet | Altenew

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

 Hi All,

Am here to share the card that I made especially for Altenew Current Challenge. 

This time gone for a totally CAS with no pencil coloring or Watercoloring. Altenew’s Dainty Bouquet stampset is one of my absolute favorite for its breezy, springy feel. The layering guide is so helpful to play with the Layering stamps. 

Highly inspired by Laurie’s Inspiration card and went for a subtle stamping and layered stamped look.

Over to my card,

  • Stamped Altenew Dainty Bouquet onto a white cardstock using Altenew Limestone cube ink.
  • Layered the floral parts using Altenew Coral Berry and Ruby Red cube ink.
  • Layered leafy sprig using Altenew Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades Cube Ink.
  • Sentiment is then stamped from Altenew Remember This stampset using Altenew Industrial Diamond Cube ink.
  • Foam mounted the focal panel after die cutting it with A2 stitched die.
Hope you like simple CAS look of my card.

Colored the images using Graphite Lead pencils and smudged it with paper stump for the shadows. Used Yellow Colored pencil to color the floral centre. Main sentiment is stamped over the floral panel and White heat embossed sentiment strip is mounted onto the panel.

For my second card, stamped the floral outline using antique linen Distress ink and attempted the No line coloring technique over the image using Watercolor markers.

The colored panel is then fussy cut. The sentiment is stamped over a white A2 sized cardbase using Altenew Jet black crisp dye ink in such a way leaving space for the focal element.


Fussy cut floral spray then foam mounted and few clear dew droplets are added as accents.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

~ Sathya ~ 69 Comments

Am SO excited and happy to be part of Altenew’s Build-A-Flower: Semi- Double Chrysanthemum Release Bloghop! 

Am a sucker for flowers and Absolutely love Altenew’s varied range of products right from their brand launch. I feel so honoured and humbled by this Awesome opportunity.

You should have arrived from talented, Rachael Shedeed’s blog. Else if you are starting from here, I have a full blog hop list at the end of my post.

I have created a card today using Altenew Semi Double Chrysanthemum set.


Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum Product Description: 


Love and flowers don’t need to be perfect, but these gorgeous florals come very close to perfection!


This layering stamp set features a beautiful 4-layer chrysanthemum and three 3-layer leaves to add to your handmade cards, scrapbook layouts, bullet journal pages, and other DIY paper crafting projects. 


The Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum special edition stamp and die set is only sold as a bundle. It includes one 6″ x 8″ clear photopolymer stamp set (16 individual stamp images) and one coordinating die set (4 dies).

To create my card, I first stamped solid image of flowers followed by using second and third images, which are detailed layers. I used the Summer Afternoon mini ink cube set for the flowers. And then they were die cut using co-ordinating dies.


I did two such flowers and diecut using their co-ordinating dies and kept aside.

The green leaves are also from Semi-Double Chrysanthemum set, which were stamped onto white cardstock using Green Fields mini dye ink cube collections. They were also die cut using  co-ordinating dies.

The sentiment ‘Love’ is gold heat embossed on black cardstock and fussy cut it to give a defined look. The second part of sentiment is gold heat embossed onto a black cardstock strip. 

Finally for the background, took Altenew Classy strips stencil and embossing paste and created a partial stencilling to give a subtle texture to the card.

Then added Brusho – Lime green color pigment onto a watercolor cardstock, to create the organic styled background on the stenciled areas. Left to air dry and trimmed the focal panel.

Matted this focal panel onto A2 sized black Top fold cardbase using foam adhesives.. Then arranged the flowers and leaves to get a desired look. Popped the fussy cut sentiment and sentiment strip as shown above using foam adhesives.

Finally added some black enamel dots to finish off the card.

And now for the most exciting part : Giveaway!

Forever in Love – Altenew – Floral card

~ Sathya ~ 3 Comments

 Hi Friends,

Am here with a floral card and tried Negative Painting for the first time. Yesterday, Emily Midgett ‘s Altenew blogpost inspired me a lot. She generously shared her knowledge and immensely inspired me to give it a go today, as I was too intimidated to try this technique.

She focused on Negative painting and a contrast paler/muted/ floral spray. But I tried this with current Altenew challenge colors .

Over to my card,

  • Stamped roses from Altenew Forever in Love stampset onto watercolor paper using Antique Linen.
  • Watercolored the whole painting using Bright palette of Jane Davenport Watercolors.
  • Splashed generously white acrylic paint.
  • Stamped the sentiment from Altenew Beautiful day stampset.
  • Trimmed and matted over a A2 sized top fold Black cardbase.
Hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by!
