Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

 Hello Crafty Friends!  I'm so excited to be a Guest Designer (due to being one of the challenge winners) in the Altenew August Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop and I have lots of cards to share.  

You should have arrived here from Erum Tasneem's blog, if not, you can start at the beginning at the Altenew Card blog, where you will see Emily's gorgeous creations. 


My first card is featuring Altenew's Arch of Flowers Stamp set, Stencil and Die.  Also showing a sentiment from Altenew One-Go Birthday Greetings.

The image was stamped with Altenew Obsidian Ink and then I used the co-ordinating stencil and Altenew Inks to colour.  Then it was die-cut and the circle card assembled, adding the the sentiment to finish. 

*************
Next up I have used the Altenew's Dazzling Dahlia Stamps & Dies and Floating Foliage Embossing Folder.

I stamped the flower and bird with Altenew Obsidian Ink and water-coloured with Altenew Inks and Nuvo Shimmer Powder.

****************

Here is a card using both of the above stamp sets...


*****************

This next card was made with Altenew's gorgeous new stencil - Intricate Mandala. There are so many ways to use this stencil and it is definitely going to be one of my favourites. I also used a sentiment from Altenew One-Go Birthday Greetings.
I used my new Altenew Blending Brush, which made it so easy to get a seamless result with the stencilling.
Here is another card using the stencil...
This time I dry embossed the card with the stencil. Next I used Versamark ink through the stencil to make it sticky and went over this with Gold PanPastel. I've used another sentiment from Altenew One Go Birthday Greetings.

*********************
The next card features Altenew One-Go Birthday Greetings
I had so much fun using Altenew Water-colour Metallic Paints to create the background and then all I had to do was add some sentiments. 

*******************

Finally we have a pretty embossing folder - Altenew Rolling Foliage. The Butterfly is from Altenew Dazzling Dahlia Stamp and the sentiment from One-Go Birthday Greetings.
This was so easy to make. I simply blended ink with the Altenew Blending Brush over the embossed panel and then added the sentiment and Butterfly. 
******************
