Hi there! Today I’m excited to be joining Altenew for their May Release Blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from the lovely Svitlana Shayevich‘s blog.My first project features the Budding Thanks stamp set as well as the coordinating dies. I used several Altenew inks with this gorgeous multi-step stamping set. The sentiment is from Many Thanks.

I stamped each polka dot ‘A’ with two colors of ink to give them a nice gradient look.
I die cut each letter using the coordinating dies and popped them up onto a Dark Gray panel. I also went a little bonkers with the Nuvo drops. As you can see I put them everywhere, ha!GIVEAWAY!!

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.So many fantastic new sets in the March release! My first card features the Simple Fruits set.

For the background I blended distress inks onto distress cardstock followed by some flicks of water.
This last card showcases the Garden Treasure stamp set with gorgeous multi-step stamping floral images.
I used Altenew inks on the flowers and added a bit more detail with my Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is from Adore You.

Altenew-Smile More

February 16, 2017

Hi there! Yesterday I shared this project over on the Altnew blog featuring the Smile More stamp & die set. I thought I’d share it here on my blog for those who might not have seen it yet.I love these gorgeous blooms and thought they’d look awesome colored in with the emboss resist technique.

I blended a bit of Volcano Lake ink along the bottom of my panel for a little color that would compliment the flowers.
For the sentiment I stamped, die cut and popped up the ‘smile more’ sentiment. I also added another sentiment underneath from the Adore You set.
Here’s a video to show you how I created my card.

GIVEAWAY!
