I blended several of the Altenew inks layering the Classy Stripes Stencil and angling it towards the center of the card. I used the Envelope Liner die for the “hello” and embossed a coordinating sentiment from the Adore You set.

Altenew-Wings of Hope

February 21, 2018

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Altenew blog featuring the beautiful Wings of Hope stamp set with coordinating dies.To begin I stamped each of the floral & leaf images with Altenew inks. For each image I used two inks: a lighter and darker to give a soft, gradient look. I am absolutely in LOVE with the new ink colors: Green Meadows, Tea Party & Sweet Dreams and I combined several on this card.
I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and arranged them into a loose wreath type of design and then added an embossed sentiment, also from Wings of Hope. To finish it off I added some sparkling clear sequins.Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
