Altenew and WOW! Collaboration Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to WOW! Embossing Powder + Altenew Collaboration Blog Hop!

Two creative teams are showing projects made using supplies from these companies and you probably came from Sarah Jackman Reed blog. If not – you may consider starting from the hop beginning, as there are lots of inspiration and chances to win a prize.I’ll be sharing two cards today.

For the first one I used WOW! Clear Matt Dull Regular powder. Usually an embossing powder has shiny and glossy finish. Which is not always desirable effect. This one is not, its finish is matt and dull. I personally love this effect a lot. Sometimes we don’t want to have this shine that other embossing powders give.

To create this card I first created leaves background using first layers of leaves from Altenew Vintage Flowers,  Vintage Roses and Beautiful Day stamps sets, embossed with this powder on a grey cardstock panel. I think it’s a one of the ways to stretch your stamps – using one layer for some background creation. Next I stamped hello from Altenew Super Script stamps set using Warm Sunshine ink and die cut it using set of matching dies. Stamped leaves from Altenew Beautiful Day stamps set using  Sea Glass and Ocean Waves inks and hand cut them. Next I started assembling my card. I adhered the panel to white card base, followed by adhering die cut hello and leaves on top. And added some sequins as finishing touches.For the second card I used WOW! Pearl Gold Sparkle powder. First I embossed some flowers and sentiment from Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamps set on a pink panel. Next – embossed them on Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and (you will be surprised) watercolor them using my Koi watercolors (or I should say watercolor, as I only use one color here). Hand cut watercolor flowers and adhered them using foam adhesive squares to the panel, offsetting them a bit from embossed images on the panel.
To finish the card off I adhered the panel to a white card base, adding small stripes of Altenew  Gold Mirror cardstock on the sides. It’s hard to take photos of gold, so it’s probably hard to see it here. There are lots of gold embossing powders out there (as well as not all real gold is equal) and this one is more yellowish one. With some pearl undertone I should say 😉

Hope you like my cards 🙂
