Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to the second day of the Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop!! We have 14 brand new stamp sets, 15 new die sets, and re-inkers in September! If you arrived here from Keeway Tsao’s blog you are on the right track!
For my first two cards, I used the Cotton Comfort stamp set along with the Holiday Wishes stamp set.
I love white on kraft! This is one of my favourite colour combinations for Christmas cards. I stamped the large cotton flower from the Cotton Comfort set on kraft card stock in brown pigment ink, coloured it with white polychromos pencil, and then die cut it with the matching die. For the sentiment panel, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Holiday Wishes set in white, stamped cotton flowers randomly using Tea Dye Distress ink, added white ink splatters, ink blended all edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink.
I tied the jingle bells on the cotton flower because it’s a Christmas card! :D
I randomly stamped cotton flowers from the Cotton Comfort set on watercolour paper panel in brown pigment ink, and then watercoloured the panel using Distress inks and a wet paint brush. I added white ink splatters. For the sentiment, I used the Holiday Wishes stamp set.
For my third card, I made a shaker Christmas card using the Night Before Christmas stamp & die set. I stamped cotton flowers from the Cotton Comfort set randomly onto white paper panel using Silver Stone dye ink, then cut a Christmas tree window on the centre of the stamped panel using the Night Before Christmas die. For the ombré stamped tree, I used the Bamboo, Forest Glades, and Evergreen dye inks.
For my last card, I made a watercoloured flower card using brand new Just Because stamp set. It looks gorgeous in my eyes, haha!! I stamped the flower cluster on watercolour paper in black pigment ink, lightly watercoloured the stamped image using watercolour pencils and water brush, and then fussy cut it. I mounted it on the left side of kraft card using foam tape, and then added white ink splatters.

Happy Monday, crafty friends!
We are already passing through the middle of this month, and that means it’s time for another beautiful Build-A-Flower set! This month it’s Build-A-Flower: Rose. Roses are heart-stoppingly beautiful, and their aroma is equally show-stopping. With such an impressive presence, it is no wonder that roses have symbolized some powerful elements throughout human history. We tried to capture the timeless beauty of this flower by giving it extra depth with six layers. Achieve a realistic look with this Rose set which is a must-have for every flower lover! It’s only available as a set, not individual product.
I stamped layered roses and leaves on white paper panel with dye inks, sentiment using Walnut Stain Distress ink. I then added red ink splatters.
Flowers: (light to dark) Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Grapevine, Dark Chocolate
Leaves: (light to dark) Limestone, Silver Stone, Industrial Diamond, Pure Graphite
Oh, I love this set. These stamped roses are quite lifelike!!

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
I’m up on the Altenew blog with my floral die card using the Altenew Fantasy Floral die set. As soon as I saw this beautiful floral set.. I was hooked! I don’t think I’m alone either!! :D
It’s so easy to make! I 1) Die cut two layered flowers from red card stocks and leaves from grey card stock using the Altenew Fantasy Floral die set. 2) Adhered them on white paper panel using foam tape. 3) Stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Amazing You set above the flowers using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. 4) Mounted the floral panel on white card base using glue tape. 5) Added white & red ink splatters, clear droplets.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!!
Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!
