Altenew Stampwheel 2.0 Blog Hop & Giveaway ($300 in total prizes!)

I'm so thrilled to be part of the blog hop to feature the brand new and totally awesome Stampwheel 2.0!

Thank you for joining us on this fabulous hop!  If you would like to start at the beginning, please head over to the Altenew blog.  You can check out all of the details of the larger, new Stampwheel 2.0 here.

Be sure to check out the prize details below!  You won't want to miss out on your chance to win either a $100 gift certificate or one of four $50 gift certificates!

For the first time using the Stampwheel 2.0, I used the beautiful, and large, stamp set from the Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch collection.  Check out the photos of the Stampwheel 2.0 in use and compared to the original Stampwheel (which I do still use!).

This card is a slimline card I made with the awesome Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch in black.  I used the coordinating stencils and blending brushes to color the image.  Because of the size of the Stampwheel 2.0, I was able to keep the stamped image on the sticky mat, remove the side piece, and color through the stencils with ease!

As you can see in this photo, there is a significant difference in the sizes of the original Stampwheel and the new Stampwheel 2.0!

When you remove the detachable side, you can stamp on a full 8-½" x 11" piece of cardstock.

I really enjoy being able to keep the sticky mat in place and use the coloring stencils by removing the side.

I have used the Stampwheel 2.0 many times recently, and I highly recommend it as part of your crafting tools necessities!

Be sure to leave a comment here on my blog, and at all of the other stops, to increase your chance to win a prize!

******************************************

I thought about stamping the Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch image onto two A2 cards.  However, I just think it's so beautiful as one large image on a slimline card, and that's what I went with!  First I stamped it with black ink and then used the coordinating Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch Layering Stencils to color it with ink blending brushes and various Altenew Crisp Dye Inks.  The colors I used are Coral Bliss, Heart Beat, Vineyard Berry, Maple Yellow, Firefly, Grass Field, and Mountain Pine.  For the branch I used Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

After I finished the stenciling, I smooshed the ink pads onto my glass mat and used a watercolor brush to pick up the colors and added more more depth and details to the leaves and flowers.  When it was dry, I trimmed the card to 8" x 3-½".

For the coordinating mat layer I inked the edges of a 8-¼" x 3-¾" piece of white cardstock with Coral Bliss Crisp Dye ink.  Just drag the ink pad along the edges for a quick and easy coordinating layer!  

I adhered the mat layer to my slimline card base with glue.  Then I stamped the sentiment, including in the stamp set, onto a strip of vellum with clear embossing ink.  I added black embossing powder and heat set it.  Next I trimmed it into a strip and adhered the edges on the back of my stamped and colored panel.  

I adhered the piece to the card and added a few clear acrylic drops for some shine.  

Thank you very much for stopping by!  Be sure to leave a comment here, before heading to the next stop,  for your chance to win an awesome prize.
