Christmas Bird - Altenew

Hi Everyone, hope you are all having a good week. I would like to share a Christmas card with you that I made with the Bird on Bloom Die & Stencil Set.   

I used April's colour combination, to create a Christmas card with non-traditional colours and I think these colours just complimented the Berry Branch Die Set and Bird on Bloom Die Set perfectly.

Techniques I used:

• Die-cut and ink blend the Berry Branch using the Cherry Blossom Crisp Dye Ink and added glossy accents on the berries
• 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.
