Altenew • March Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

This post is also available in: Russian

Hello and welcome to Altenew March Release Blog Hop!

We are releasing 7 stencils, 12 ink sprays, 13 colored cardstock and 7 envelopes and glue-tape.

You probably came from Aimee Dow blog. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Altenew blog and see what other members of Altenew design team and guest designers sharing (and also you have a chance to win a prize).

I created two cards made using new supplies from this release.

LAYERED STENCILS

For the first card I used Layered Medallion A and Layered Medallion B stencils. These stencils are so much fun. You can use them on their own as well as combined, one placed on another.

To start off I took a watercolor panel and placed Layered Medallion A stencil onto it. Then I sprayed it with Ocean Waves spray. I let the spray soak into the panel a little bit and placed Layered Medallion B above. Then I sprayed this panel with Dusk spray. The texture of sprayed design and sprays metallic shimmer resulted with this gorgeous background, which looks kind of velvety.

I made an A2 top folding card base using white cardstock and adhered the panel onto it.

As my background was pretty busy and bold in order not to overwhelm my card I decided to make the rest of it pretty simple.

Using Super Script stamp set (and the set of matching dies) I made a hello DIY chipboard. By stamping it using Dusk ink and die-cutting, along with die-cutting 4 or 5 plain white hellos and adhering all pieces together. I also white embossed another part of the sentiment onto a stripe of black cardstock.

I adhered the hello onto the panel placing a tangled silver string underneath. Lastly I added several silver sequins.

COLORING WITH SPRAYS

The Floral Drape stencil is gorgeous! First of all it’s a bigger one, so you can use it not only for a card but for a layout or some other bigger project as well. Or you can make a background onto a letter size cardstock, cut it in 4 pieces and you will get 4 ready to go backgrounds.

For my card I used this stencil in a bit unusual way. First I took a watercolor panel, placed the stencil onto it and spritzed with Caramel Toffee and Ruby Red sprays.

I also spritzed the same sprays into small bowls and used them as a liquid coloring medium. I was using sprayed design as a guide and colored over with sprays. As a result I got such an interesting effect. The sprayed uneven layer is seen through the coloring one which adds some texture to it.

I foam mounted the panel onto an A2 card base and added a sentiment from Label Love set stamps with Industrial Diamond to the bottom part.
