Altenew-Mega Alphabet A & B Die, Cube Builder & Stone Wall Stencil

I’ve created a couple of projects using some of my favorite Altenew products. I love to personalize my cards and these Mega Alphabet dies are perfect for adding a monogrammed look.

For the background I used the Cube Builder Stencil, which is one of my all-time favorite stencils ever in the history of ever. I blended Distress Oxide inks in Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers.

This next card uses the Stone Wall Stencil with more Distress Oxide inks: Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch & Wilted Violet.

I added embossed sentiments to both cards using the Sentiments & Quotes stamp set along with a few sequins for embellishment.

Altenew-May 2018 Inspiration Challenge

May 2, 2018

Hello, everyone! This month I’m joining Altenew in hosting the May 2018 Inspiration Challenge!

The inspiration photo for this month’s challenge is of a card from last year that I created featuring the Floral Shadow Stamp Set. There are so many great colors to choose from in this project, but we’ve decided to highlight the pink, aqua, and teal for the challenge.

Here’s what I came up with using this photo as my inspiration:

I stamped the blooms with Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious,& Razzleberry inks. I also used a bit of Autumn Blaze Crisp Dye Ink for the stamen in the blooms. For the leaves, I used Bamboo& Parrot inks. I used the coordinating Garden Treasure Die to cut the floral images out and pop them up onto the ink–blended background.Altenew-Stone Wall Stencil, Garden Treasure & Flower Arrangement setFor the sentiment, I used the Flower Arrangement Stamp Set. I stamped the “hello” and then used the coordinating Flower Arrangement Die to die cut the sentiment. I die cut four more white word die-cuts and adhered them together using spray adhesive to make a sturdy, dimensional word die–cut.
