Hi everyone! Welcome to Altenew and Pretty Pink Posh collaboration blog hop. Two design teams gathered together to bring some inspiration and ideas using supplies from both companies.
You probably came from Keeway Tsao. If not, you may consider starting from the hop beginning, over at Altenew blog.
I made two holiday cards for today special event.
SILVER TREE
Pretty Pink Posh Twine and Bows is a great die set to “wrap” a card (panel or some other element) with twine without adding bulk of actual twine. But I also saw in this twine die some kind of garland or Christmas lights, hung in mid-air. Or light rays coming from lights on a Christmas tree. So I wanted to use this die to represent this image.
The background was made by inking a white panel made out of Altenew Classic Crest White cardstock with distress inks. First I inked the whole panel using Tumbled Glass ink. Then I cut out Twine die three times out of masking paper and placed them onto the panel. Which was then inked with Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon. To make background a bit more interesting and deep, I added several water droplets using Distress Sprayer, let the water sit on the panel a bit and move distresses and them removed it with paper towel.
Also two die-cuts were made out of silver glitter paper using the same die and adhered to the panel.
I made a tree using Altenew Sketchy Evergreen stamps set, stamping the bottom solid layer onto a white cardstock using Dessert Night ink, the heat embossing the middle layer on vellum using Silver Tinsel powder. Then I cut out both layers and adhered them together. Usually adhering velum can be a challenge, as any adhesive can be seen through it. Here I didn’t care much about this, I rather wanted adhesive to be seen. I like that it unevenly is visible, it looks like shadows between tree branches.
The sentiment was stamped using Dessert Night ink and heat embossed using iridescent powder to add it some shine. The tree was foam mounted on the panel, which in turn was mounted to a card base. Several cobalt and silver sequins finished off the card.
GOLD PINECONES
Last year during holidays I saw a floral composition in front of one building next to our office. It had glittery branches with gold pinecones. I was inspired to create a card with these elements, and finally did it.
I started by cutting out a white panel using dies from Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Borders 2 die set. Stamped pinecones from Altenew Poinsettia and Pine, colored then with COPICs and heat embossed using brass powder. 
Next pinecones were masked off and I stamped several branches from Altenew Winter Cardinal using Espresso ink. I added berries from the same set using Rocky Shore ink.
Using Versamarker I added embossing ink on berries, branches and cones, covered them with Gold Tinsel powder and heat set them. 
The panel was foam mounted on a Peanut Fudge card base, with brass embossed sentiment from Modern Deer on the bottom. Several cupped and flat gold sequins finished off the card.

L really love the shade of blue on the blue tree. The first tree I had when I got married was trimmed all in blue ornaments. This tree reminded me of that. The pine cone card has such great texture. It looks like you could actually pick it up off the card.
