Sending Love with Altenew Antique Roses

I have been going through my stash and having some fun with older products. I thought I would have a play with the Altenew Antique Roses layering stamps and I must admit it took some time to get back to using layering stamps after using stencils and colouring medium to colour my images. I also used different colours to what I normally use such as the purples and greys and I was happy with the outcome. I have used a mix of Pink Fresh Studio and Altenew inks to colour the roses and leaves and layered the roses using foam tape for some dimension. I used my new Altenew- Elegance Tufted Elegance 3D  Embossing Folder as a base for the flowers and layered coordinating grey and purple cardstocks that matched the inks that I used in the purple roses and grey leaves.

This month’s challenge for Simon Says Stamps is for ‘white on white’ projects and of course that is one of my favourite styles so I had to make a card. 

For my card I have added a lot of texture with an embossed background using the Altenew 3D Embossing Folder – Textured Wicker. I created a frame by die cutting 4 frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles which were stacked together and then I added the roses and leaves from the Altenew Craft-A-Flower – Garden Rose set. I added white leaves under the frame and then single leaves around the roses above the frame to add extra depth and dimension to the card. I added a hint of colour to the centre of the roses with light yellow ink and finished the roses with some glitter to make them shine.

The sentiment was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock using the stamp from the Altenew Dotted Blooms stamp set and die cut with the die from the Altenew Featured Sentiments Die set and matted with black cardstock before being added to the card with some foam squares.

I am really enjoying my marker colouring and I have a clean and simple card to share with you today. I have downloaded some free images to colour from the Altenew website here. These are great images to practice with and this image was one of them. I have used mostly Altenew Sunshine Valley Alcohol Markers Set F (finished off with Copic markers) to colour this image in after printing the image out on X-Press It paper. I have to admit I do prefer to use Copic markers – the brush is much easier to use and more juicy. However, I have not used the Altenew markers much so they may have dried out a bit. I will keep playing with them. I have kept the card very simple to highlight the flowers.

Let’s Celebrate with Altenew Roses

I am channeling my inner Bibi Cameron with this gorgeous trellis card featuring a magnificent rose made using the Altenew Craft-a-Flower Garden Rose Layering Die Set. These roses are so beautiful and very easy to create. I have had some technical difficulties with making a video on how I coloured these roses but I will look at doing one shortly.

My project:

I have made the 5 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ card according to Bibi’s instructions linked below. I have die cut all the petals and leaves out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock and coloured them with the inks I have listed below. I assembled the rose according to the instructions on the packaging and added it to the front of the gate card as shown. I then stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Stamp and Die Set on white cardstock and die cut it out using the coordinating die and adhered it to the top of the card.

To finish I have added some clear drops to the rose.

Here is the link to Bibiana’s video with instructions on how to make the trellis card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LCC9bkFOCM&t=302s

Birthday Anemone Wishes

I have been teaching myself how to colour with Copic markers and I have started taking classes through Kit and Clowder. I have coloured for many years and recently I have been using Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers but I have got arthritis in my hands and holding the pens are getting harder for me. So I decided that this year I would look into learning how to colour with Copics as the pens are much easier for me to grip and I have more control. I will post pictures of the classes I have taken so as to show my journey in coming posts.

For my card today I have used a Woodware Craft Collection stamp called Anemone. It is a fairly simple stamp to colour in and good to practice my techniques. I have used a colour combination from one of the classes I have taken which is so pretty. I am still working on my ‘flicks’ and control and it will be interesting to colour this stamp again some time in the future to see how I progress in my colouring journey. However, I am pleased with how I am going and have to set a timer for me to colour in as I enjoy it so much.

For my card base I have used a fabulous embossing folder from Altenew called ‘Wicker Texture’ and then I have added a small frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rectangles to create some interest in the background and also to ground the flower. The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Lyrical Layered Florals Clear Stamp and Die set. I have kept the background clean and simple to allow the vibrant coloured flower to be the hero.

Pink Roses for Mother’s Day

I would like to wish you all a happy Easter. I hope you all have a lovely weekend celebrating this occasion with family and friends.

Mother’s Day is not far away and I have a sweet Mother’s Day card to share with you. I fell in love with the Altenew Vintage Lace Embossing Folder and the coordinating stencils because the honeycomb background is just gorgeous and I just love roses! I tend to gravitate to roses all the time… I have made a step card using a retired die from Spellbinders – Decorated Birthday Pop Up die and decorated the front with strips made from die cutting white card with the Lawn Fawn Quilted Background die. I then embossed a piece of white cardstock and coloured the roses with the coordinating stencil. I trimmed this down and added a frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Oval Fluted Classics with foam tape to put the focus on the roses.

I reverse hot foiled the Mother’s Day sentiment from Spellbinders Happy Parents hot foil plate and die cut it with the coordinating die.

To finish I have added pink jewels to the intersections of the quilted background.

Today I have something very different to share with you. The Craft-A-Flower layering dies from Altenew are just beautiful and I could not resist the Antique Rose layering dies. These dies do make flower making so incredibly easy and a lovely break from making dimensional flowers.

I have created the base of the card using the Altenew – Diamond Stars 3D Embossing Folder.

I have created a band across the card using the Altenew – Creative Edges: Lace Die. The diamond foil is from Amazing Paper Grace Diamonetta Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken and the sentiment is from the Pink Fresh Studio – Perfect Sentiments.

I have used a combination of cardstock from Spellbinders and Creative Expressions Foundation cardstock. I have also die cut some leaves from vellum for a different texture.

Welcome back and today I have another elegant white on white card with some pretty handmade Wild Roses from Heartfelt Creations.

For this card I have layered white card on a 5″ x 7″ base and added the gorgeous Marianne Designs Die LR0236 with the centre die cut out. My Gemini die cutting machine embosses the Marianne Designs dies so beautifully. the flowers are made using the Wild Rose dies from Heartfelt Creations using Dress My Craft Soft Floral Oriental paper. I have used the leaves from the Create a Flower die set from Dress My Craft. The sentiment is from the Best Sentiments stamp set from Altenew.

I hope I have inspired you to create today.
