Altenew Educators "Anything But A Card" Blog Hop and Linky Party + Giveaway

Hello and welcome back! The Educators have a fabulous Hop for you today! Hopefully you arrived from Fiona Duff but if you didn't you can start back at Altenew Card Blog or start from my blog! Our task was to create inspiration that wasn't a card, so I chose a wreath!

I started by choosing the color palette I wanted to work with for my idea!
I knew I would need greenery, which was done in Forest Glades. For the blooms, I chose Rouge, Blush, Spicy Yogurt and Apple Red cardstock colors. For the inks I used: Obsidian Black and Warm Sunshine mini ink pad.

First I started on the construction of 12 flowers with the Craft A Flower: Cistus die set. The Craft A Flower is the newest addition to the monthly subscriptions The leaves are from Just Leaves Die set, and I used about 4 full sheets of Forest Glades to give my wreath a look of fullness.

My sentiment is from the You are Loved die set. I did it in Blush and love how it turned out. The floating look is from adding a quarter sheet (5 1/2 by 4 1/4 in inches)of window sheet under the wreath, and then adding the sentiment.

Here's a close up of the blooms. I popped up every other one, for an even fuller look. I love putting them together. I did this in two days! First the die cutting and then the next day I put them together.

The Mini Delight: Bee Kind stamp and die set are the perfect little addition to any project. Along with the Artist Markers set A, in which I used the lightest blue for the wings.

But I couldn't have done this project without my bestie and the hubby who gave great ideas and plenty of support!

Altenew Inspiration Challenge May 2021

Hello and welcome back to another exciting month of challenges at Altenew.
I've got a bit of water coloring, lots of fussy cutting a simple sentiment for you today!
Starting with the sentiment and florals I used the beautiful Smile More stamp set.

I used the inks suggested and their darker counter parts. So for the blooms, I used Tea Party colors. Then for the greenery I used the Tropical Forest colors. I used the Oval Inks as watercolor by gently pressing the ink pads onto a watercolor Medium Palette. I did the same for the background, with Deep Blue Seas mini ink set, adding the blues in small sections until I got the look I loved! The paper I used for this project was watercolor paper and Parchment cardstock. The last thing I did was to add some White Ink Spray and Black ink for the sentiment.

I then added a cotton candy background and used the A2 cardbases, along with some Red Cosmos enamel dots and it was that easy. The sentiment is from the Many thanks stamp set, its ink is Obsidian Black. I hope you enjoyed the simply beautiful. All products used are Altenew.

Have a beautiful day!
