HELLO GORGEOUS AND GEO FRAMES
Two new stamp sets – Hello Gorgeous and Geo Frames were used for this card.
First I stamped the flower, masked it off with a paper mask. Then I stamped one frame on top, masked it off as well (simply using a painters tape) and then stamped the bottom one. I inked both frames with Ocean Waves Dye Ink, making the bottom one darker.
Then I removed the mask from the flower and colored it with Artist Markers.
I stamped the sentiment in the bottom part in black and made shadows with a white pen in the area where it overlapped the stamping. To make it readable.
Lastly I foam mounted the panel onto a Real Gray panel and added several Clear Sequins to finish off the card.
INKED FLORA
This one was very easy to make and I like it very much. I used the new Inked Flora Stamp Set to make it.
First I made a watercolor background of blue and coral using Altenew Watercolor Set.
Then I white embossed the stamps from the set.
Foam mounted the panel onto a white card base, added a sentiment, white embossed on black and several Clear and Ocean Wave Crystals.
WILDFLOWER GARDEN
In this release Altenew brought the coordinating die set for already released previously Wildflower Garden Stamp Set.
I made a very colorful card using both stamp and die set. First I stamped a bunch of floral elements onto a Solar White Cardstock using reds, yellows, blues and mints.
And then die-cut them with the dies.
I adhered all elements onto a Parchment card base. Popped up the sentiment white embossed on black.
And added several enamel dots to fill up the areas between the die-cuts and to accentuate the card.
FOR ALL SEASONS – FALL
My favorite card from the four. As it’s about fall. I’m am crazy about fall in general and on this point in the summer I hardly can wait for it to come. I used the new For All Seasons Stamp Set.
First I stamped the word AUTUMN using Velvet, Autumn Blaze and Honey Drizzle Dye Inks. Then I clear embossed on top to protect it from the stamping and ink blending which followed.
I stamped several small seasonal elements, using stamps from the same set and clear embossed on top of them as well.
Then I blended Ocean Waves Dye Ink onto the panel. Which then foam mounted onto a white card base.
To accentuate the card (and first of all to hide some “defects” I made) I added several enamel dots.
UPDATED
I fell it’s becoming a regular practice for me to film a video and add it to the corresponding blog post a week later. But I am getting better in this 🙂

Svitlana, what a lot of releases in Altenew’s August release. There is some really lovely resources available here. I especially love the large sentiment dies; these are always useful and make great accents to any card project. All your projects this blog Svitlana are so very different it is difficult to choose a favourite but if I had to then I would have to go for card 1 because of the boldness of the floral images and the geoframes are so cool too. TFS :O) xxx

I’m so with you about being ready for fall. Everything about autumn appeals to me: the cooler weather, the colors, the foods, the smell in the air. It has it all. I also love your first card.
