Hello and welcome to Altenew October 2015 Blog Hop!
You probably just came from extremely talented Yana Smakula. If not please start from the beginning at Altenew blog and see what other members of Altenew’s design team have come up with.
Today we are celebrating the release of 12 new inks and 17 dies. I made four cards using new supplies from this release.
For the first card I stamped flowers using Scribbled Flowers stamps set with new inks Desert Night, Dusk, Ocean Waves, Sea Glass on a cream cardstock and die-cut them with new Scribbled Flowers Die. Stamped leaves with new Dark Chocolate ink on a kraft base and layered flowers with foam squares followed by adhering the sentiment from the same stamps set stamped with Dark Chocolate ink on kraft cardstock stripe.
The next card is made using Painted Butterflies stamps set and new coordinating dies set – Painted Butterflies Die. I stamped sentiment and several butterflies on a white panel using Midnight Violet, Deep Iris, Lavender Fields, Soft Lilac inks. To make some kind of gradient effect I stamped two butterflies tree times each level (to make stamped image more intense). After finishing stamping I started playing with dies. Embossed three butterflies with dies and partially die-cut one. Finally I mounted the panel on a purple card base and added some gems.
Next two cards are holidays ones.
For this one I used Poinsettia & Pine stamps set and new coordinating Poinsettia & Pine Die. Stamped the pinecone with Dark Chocolate ink on a cork sheet and then colored it a bit with same ink and fantastix tool. Stamped pine branches with Dark Chocolate ink on a green cardstock and die-cut them. Finally I die-cut happy word with new Happy Die from a cork sheet and the same green cardstock and adhere two die-cuts together. On white card base stamped holidays sentiment (from Halftone Happy stamps set) with ink Dark Chocolate. Finally adhered the cork happy, pinecone and branches on the card base.
For the last card first I stamped pine branches cluster on a white cardstock panel using Poinsettia & Pine stamps set. I wanted to play with new ink so to make green used Dusk and Mango Smoothie. Along with Dark Chocolate ink to make pine needles look more realistic. For stamping I used MISTI, to get presice stamping.
Next I die-cut twice happy word using new Happy Die from white cardstock. One die-cut I covered with Distress Glitter Festive Berries and glossy accent. After glossy accent dried out adhered it in the middle of the panel followed by the white die-cut adhered on the top of it (slightly shifted to create some kind of shadow). Finally I stamped holiday sentiment (from Halftone Happy stamps set) with Dusk, Mango Smoothie and Dark Chocolate inks? adhered it to the happy die-cut and added some sequins.
