Hello friends!
Warning: Heavy photo post
Yay, it's May Release Blog Hop from Altenew!
If you arrive from my dear friend Vicky Papaioannou's blog, you are in the right place!
All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog
You will find some real gems in this release! I have 3 projects to share, so let's get started.
Card #1 product feature: Whimsical Flowers & Quotes Stamp Set
You will be amazed with the size and overall design of this large stamp.
Obviously, it is perfect for any type of coloring.
I decided to white-embossed the image on kraft card stock.
Ink-blending with Altenew Inks is one of my favorite things.
I used Detail Blending Tools and inked up each tiny spot without any problems.
Card #2 product feature: Shine Like a Diamond
Starting with the gold-embossing the entire image on white card stock, I applied the ink with Gradient Effect with Delectable Ink.
It's not a diamond without that shine...
I used Antique Gold from Make a Statement Sequins Bundle.
The white-embossed sentiment on vellum fit so nicely with the overall color scheme.
Card #3 product feature: Flowering Cistus and Shine Like A Diamond
Another debut of "Shine Like a Diamond"....
along with this gorgeous floral set called Cistus Flowers.
The flowers were stamped with Watercolor Brush Markers! I then fussy cut the flowers (coordinating dies available!) and then I popped them over the stamped background.

Virginia, it is always so good to come back to your blog for all the fun and new techniques. This time i really loved the gold heat embossed diamond background. And what i really liked what the play of sequins, that really adds so much of dimension to a card. Also the water colored flowers. this is so beautiful and every time i see your cards i am reminded of the beautiful kraft.. the colors on which completely transform the look of anything.
wow, stunning cards!
Beautiful cards! I love the ink blending on the first card. Very delicate like a soft colored pencil.

Fabulous cards.
The gray and white stream Washi tape card with the shaker accent - WOW! Love the idea of the debossing die - it added that little something that made this card outstanding!
