Hello friends!
Warning: Super-heavy photo post
Yay, it's May Release Blog Hop from Altenew!
If you arrive from the blog of Kristina Pokazanieva, you are in the right place!
All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog
Now grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy this post with my 5 projects!
But first....how cute are those pins!!?
Theses pins are based on the images with Altenew stamps.
How cool is that? You can now gift the pin and the matching card!
You can find "Stay Awesome", "Fox", "Geometric Bear" and the entire collections here.
From this close-up, you can see the new ink glistening.
To accentuate the gold in the background "A Walk in the Woods", I also stamped part of the petals in Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink.
I decided to die cut the center with Halftone Squares and made the focal image pop even more.
The ink and shine are absolutely splendid! It is quite rich, juicy and also dries very quickly.
2. featured products: Dare to Dream, Ombre Alpha
These tile-like images are fun to stamp with.
You can stamp them as it (which I did here) OR you can layer two or more images!
I stamped "U ROCK" from Ombre Alpha. How cool is that set?
Can you see the rainbow color possibility?

Let's talk about the background first... the de-bossing cover die is DIVINE! I ran it through grey pattern paper from Essential Rock Collection and it is stunning.

I then stamped and die cut the Ornate Foliage in Sweet Moments Paper Pack.
For the perfect sentiment, I reached for "sending hugs" from Fancy Greetings.
4. featured products: Everlasting Happiness Stamp Set
The gold-embossed image on vellum speaks volumes! I took out the Altenew Artist Markers (Set D and Set E) and colored the back of the flowers and you get this elegant look. It doesn't get any more simpler than that.

For the sentiment, I stamped "Everlasting Happiness Together" in Essential Rock Collection.
This card is perfect for anniversary, engagement, weddings... etc.
5. featured products: Fine Bouquet Die , Fancy Greetings Stamp Set
How exquisite is this delicate Fine Bouquet Die?
I only needed to die cut it with the Gold Foil Card Stock and it looks like a million bucks!

I colored the images with the Artist Brush Markers on Bristol paper and made the colors as vibrant as possible.
Fancy Greetings really makes this card that extra special!

Fabulous showcase of the new Release. The gold embossing on vellum is my favorite--so classy!
Oh well, Virginia these are all gorgeous! My favorite has to be the one created from the Everlasting Happiness stamp set. That set caught my eye from the very beginning! You aced it with these cards!
This release is well represented here by you...Love them all. Especially the tiles in those wonderful blues. Great job!
The gold embossing is stunning. Beautiful cards.

Awesome cards! Thank you for making so many beautiful ones!

wow you have been busy! love all your wonderful creations!!!!
Absolutely beautiful cards.
I love them all but that grey and yellow is GORGEOUS!
All of your cards are beautiful, but the gray and yellow one just blew me away!!
These are ALL divine! I can't wait to play with that background die
All your cards are adorable and I love the color combo!
Great cards. I totally love the one with vellum! So lovely!
Lovely projects!Love the wood grain background!
I LOVE the way you used the new gold in the centre of the card on the flower - it is amazing.
The sentiment and colours on the second card are absolutely gorgeous with the ombre sentiment tags.
Your third cards uses my BEST thing in this release - the background die. So elegant and soft.
The fifth card uses my second best thing from this release - the fine bouquet die. The background colour splash is so soft and elegant.
Love your cards.
I am stumped! Usually I can always pick a favorite, but this is time I have three. The debossed cover die will be going on my Altenew list.
I love the debossed card, and both of the gold embossed cards. I always love your cards that incorporate vellum! The colored vellum flowers are so elegant.
Virginia, you've used my favourite stamp set, the Ornate Foliage, to create two wonderful cards. The Everlasting Happiness stamp set is fast becoming number 2 in my favourite category & your card is so very elegant & I love how the colours show through the vellum so beautifully. Thanks for all your inspiration.
A great of array of beautiful cards. Wonderful examples of Altenew’s new products. Love the colors and designs. Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us.
I can't decide which one I like better the "Sending Hugs" card or your use of the vellum on the Ornate card! All so beautiful.
Amazing work, Virginia! I love how you have combined the different sets in your creations. Gorgeous colors!!
Love the wood done in gold & the 4th card is so gorgeous! Wonderful inspiration, Virginia!
All you cards are fabulous! I especially like the Dare to Dream and Everlasting Happiness. The gold-embossing on vellum is beautiful!
Beautiful cards. My favorite is the first one.
These creations are all so beautiful!
Beautiful cards. Was glad to see another way of using the tile squares. My favorite card though is the gray and yellow. Loved the debossing die used on the striped paper, and loved that the flowers are not completely colored in .
I am not worthy! LOL- your work inspires me from color choices, style, layouts design and display. A great card needs great photos and you are a master! I love em ALL. Thanks for sharing your artwork with us!

Holy cow!! Usually I can pick a favorite card, but NOT today!! Every one of your cards today is absolutely gorgeous! Seriously. From the vellum, to the die cut foil cardstock, to the woodgrain stamp. Perfection. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talents with all of us! :)

Gorgeous set of cards, Virginia - the everlasting happiness is my fave!!! Thanks for inspiring as always!
Thank you for inspiration!
Awesome release! Wonderful creations! I especially love the gold embossed vellum card!!!!
Great examples and techniques using the new release stamps and dies. Love the gold embossing on the vellum.
They are all amazing hard to pick a favorite.. But the 2nd one may be my favorite.
I agree -- those enamel pins are wonderful. All your projects are gorgeous. I love that Ornate Foliage set.
Amazing projects. The gold detailing is wonderful. I'll be getting the Dare to Dream set for my daughter-in-law who fell in love with this set.
#4 is my fave. Love that gold embossing on the vellum & how the coloring looks on the back side of the vellum. Thanks for reminding me of that technique!
all great but love that everlasting happiness one especially!
Your cards are absolutely stunning, Virginia! Cards 3 and 4 are my favorites! I love how that dotted swirls die looks on that gray patterned paper...I wouldn't have thought of using it on patterned paper! And, those gold embossed flowers on velum are just exquisite...what a lovely card! Thanks for sharing your awesome creativity with us!
All of your cards are lovely!
OMG, so many beautiful cards! Each one so different and just amazing! TFS!
I love your cards especially the card using the fine bouquet die. I love that you colored it and used gold. It’s so pretty.
You are a never-ending font of interesting ideas! This time around, I'm really taken with the embossed vellum with alcohol inks and the gold die cut. They're so bright and beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
DEar Virginia
wow and amazing. the words dont do justice to your beauties. They are perfect be it color, texturs or backgrounds u hav enailded it all. Love and hugs
OMG...I can’t pick a favorite. Your projects are all so beautiful. After seeing so many great projects with the fine bouquets die, I think that’s on my must have list.
Love your cards Virginia! What is the cute little blue star you used in the Dare to Dream card? Did you draw that?
I love love the Fine Bouquet die card and the Everlasting Happiness card!! The Fine Bouquet card looks like beautiful stained glass. These Artist Brush Markers are really something
Hi Anne Mitchell, the little blue star in the "Dare to Dream" card is an Enamel Dot from Altenew Collection here---> http://shrsl.com/1lrwq
Thanks for the comments, everyone!
Beautiful cards Virginia. I am obsessed with that new bear pin!
Very beautiful cards. My favorite is the Everlasting Happiness on vellum. What an elegant look. I have to try this! Thanks so much for all this lovely inspiration!
All of your cards are so beautiful!. My favourite are the 2 cards you created using the Ornate Foliage Stamp set. The third card you created is my very favourite, I just love the grey and yellow together and the Dotted Swirls Debossing cover die background looks gorgeous. For your first card I think the way you used the new Altenew pigment gold ink on the background A Walk in the Woods and on the petals of the Ornate Foliage for your first looks amazing. Thank you for all of the wonderful inspiration!
