Simple Fruits

Altenew-March Release Blog Hop

March 22, 2017

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.
I 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.
This next card features the Hug Me set. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with Copics.
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.
