Die-cut green and brown cardstock with the Berry Branch
Die-cut white cardstock with the Picture Frame Die Set
Stamp pink cardstock with the Snow Stamp using the Cloud White Pigment Ink
Stamp white cardstock with the Bird Stamp
Ink blend through the Bird on Bloom Stencil using the Summer Afternoon Crisp Dye Ink and Warm Gray Fresh Dye Ink
Embossed white cardstock with the Masonry Wall 3D Embossing Folder

I followed the Freshly Made Sketches #656 and I just love how the card came together using this beautiful sketch.

To finish I added some splatters using the Altenew Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set and some gems. I die-cut white and pink cardstock with the Couture Creations The Gift of Giving Merry Christmas Sentiment Die.

Flower Vase - Altenew

Hi Everyone, I would like to share a card with you that I made using the beautiful Altenew Lovely Rose Peony Stamp & Die Set. Love that this pretty peony image also includes a vase. I am entering my card into the Altenew October 2024 Inspiration Challenge.

Techniques I used:

Emboss blue cardstock using the Altenew Dotted Waves Cover Die.
Stamp the Altenew Lovely Rose Peony Stamp onto blending cardstock.
Coloured the flower and leaves with Altenew Cherry Blossom, Green Valley and Glacier Caves Artist Alcohol Markers.
Die-cut image with coordinating Altenew Lovely Rose Peony Die.
Stamp Altenew Lovely Rose Peony Sentiment Stamp with Embossing Ink and heat emboss with Altenew Gold Crisp Embossing Powder.

April's colour combination, which I used for the beautiful peony, just pops even more with the blue embossed background. The Altenew Artist Alcohol Markers just blends perfectly. The end result is a beautiful bright and striking coloured image.

The embossed background with the Altenew Dotted Waves Cover Die is just adding beautiful texture.

To finish I added some splatters using the Altenew Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set and some sequins.
