Hello friends!
Warning: photo-heavy post
I am delighted that you are here for the Altenew Stencil/Ink Spray Release!

I wanted the color of gold to stand out and left the colors au natural!
The new Antique Gold Metallic Ink Spray should be every crafter's arsenal!
There are a few many ways of using this Scallop Builder Stencil.
I have another version that I will share soon.
My next card features this versatile Weave Builder Stencil.
First, I created a colorful stenciled background with a bit of gradient.
I wanted to have some color contrast and used Ornamental Flower
in shades of grey and a subtle pop of colors! If you are interested how I colored the Ornamental Flower, let me know and I will share more details in another post.
Next is a very fun and cool stencil..... Don't get me wrong, I love everything floral and feminine! However, I immediately fall in love when I saw the the Warp Speed Stencil!
I went right ahead and made two cards.
My dilemma? I can't decide which one I like better... 😀 so, I am sharing BOTH!
First, it is a birthday card for just about ANYONE!
I had so much fun creating this dark galaxy background with Altenew Ink.
Once I had done that, I sprayed Jet Black Ink Spray lightly around the edges.
I used White Embossing Paste with the stencil. The Warp Speed Effect really comes through along with the color contrast. I then finished it off with the Pure White Ink Spray.
My next card is another fun take with the Warp Speed Stencil!
Again, with the Altenew Ink, I used the ink-blending technique to create a colorful background.
I applied Warp Speed Stencil twice for this card. When tracing the lines, I added glitter all over the lines. And of course, the font from ASL Stamp really is most helpful with any sentiment that you desire. I highly recommend it if you don't own any small font stamp set. My hubby and kids are Star War and Star Trek fans...this stencil is a MUST-HAVE!

Awesome cards! I love the one with the Warp Speed stencil that says Live long and prosper.
LOVE your use of these stencils...especially the ones you used the Warp Speed stencil!!
Stencils challenge me.....your use of these new stencils tells me to try again. I am interested in how you made the oriental flower. I 'see' the green but have no idea how you did it. I think each of these stencils is very unique and what a wonderful way to create a background.
Your backgrounds are awesome! Thank you for the inspiration.
Love ur cards Virginia! Great job. Very creative. Love that gold
Fabulous cards Virginia, love how combined several products. Especially LOVE the elegance of the white and gold card :-)

I just said what you said (pretty much) on Jenniger M's blog. I totally love everything Altenew and floral, but the "warp speed" really grabbed my imagination. The florals are just amazing, but there's just something about this stencil....and I laughed out loud when I saw the "live long and prosper" card! Good thing there's no-one home but me right now! Thanks for agreeing with me and thanks for the laugh.

Virginia,

The gold spray has an almost orange base that is really different than a lot of the golds I've seen. Or at least, that's how it's photographing, which is much better than the dull yellow-brown that I'll often get. I love how you colored the ornamental flower with the iridescent and various colors underlying it. That's a really stunning look. Thank you for sharing so many great ideas with us!
Love your cards...great job.
So pretty, Love the pink and yellow together!
I love how you used the stencils.
I don't really like the stencil, but you card are amazing. I will try them!
I love all your pretty cards! Beautifully done!
Love the cards. The new release is really great. I love stencils. And these designs are really gorgeous. Also like the new washi tapes.
