Altenew-March Release Blog Hop

Hello there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their March release blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Nicole Picadura’s blog.Altenew-March releaseSo many fantastic new sets in the March release! My first card features the Simple Fruits set.
Altenew-Simple FruitsI used several Altenew inks on each of the fruits. I would ink up each fruit with two shades: lighter one of the top and darker ink on the bottom. Using the Misti helps a ton to do this. I used the coordinating dies and popped up each fruit with foam tape.
Altenew-Simple FruitsThis next card features the Hug Me set. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with Copics.
Altenew-Hug MeFor the background I blended distress inks onto distress cardstock followed by some flicks of water.
Altenew-Hug MeThis last card showcases the Garden Treasure stamp set with gorgeous multi-step stamping floral images.
Altenew-Garden TreasureI used Altenew inks on the flowers and added a bit more detail with my Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is from Adore You.
