Hello, and welcome to the Altenew September 2023 release blog hop! I’m so thrilled to be joining in this hop filled with inspiration celebrating so many beautiful products on this release!
You should have arrived here from Michelle Burnier's amazing blog. Your next stop is the awesome blog of Emily Midgett. If you would like to start at the beginning, head over to Altenew’s blog. I also have the complete hop list at the end.
____________________________________________________________
My first card features the beautiful Bold Bouquet Outline stamp, die set, and Simple Coloring Stencil set.
I colored the image using the Simple Coloring Stencil set and several Crisp Dye Inks. I used these inks: Rouge, Crimson, Deep Iris, Midnight Violet, Firefly, Grass Field, Shadow Creek.
Black and metallic gold splatters were added before matting it with black cardstock and adhering it to an A2 card base.
My second card features the absolutely gorgeous Bold Bouquet 3D Embossing Folder!
The ombre teal background was inked first from Mountain Mist and Lagoon Crisp Dye inks and Concord and 9th's Tidepool ink.
I embossed the ombre panel with the Bold Bouquet 3D Embossing folder. Then I used each of the Bold Bouquet Simple Coloring Stencils to add metallic gold pigment ink using an ink blending brush. I love how the gold touches really make the embossed image pop!
The hot foiled sentiment is from the Essential Sentiments hot foil plate with gold hot foil. I like that this includes several sentiments on one plate and that the coordinating Essential Sentiment die cuts them out all at once.
