Hello there and thank you for stopping by to celebrate Altenew October Release – there are several new stamp sets that are sure to become favorites of many!
There are a few stamp sets in this release that caught my eye and forced a bunch of stamping ideas rush through my head! The first one is Bold Blossoms and it features a beautiful detailed and delicate flower and two leaves. I used this set to create both of the cards I’m sharing today.
I stamped flower and leaves outline using Simon’s Intense Black ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. For the flowers I used new Rose Petals colors (I skipped the darkest one) and for the leaves I went with traditional greens (I’m linking to all colors below).
I always strive to have some dimension on my projects, so I cut my images out using scissors and arranged into a floral cluster on a white cardstock banner. The latter was foam mounted onto an A2 top folding card base made out of Woodgrain Powder Cardstock.
The sentiment, You Make Me Happy came from a different stamp set, Simple Flowers. This is also a new fantastic set that caught my eye. I heat embossed “Make Me Happy” in white embossing powder onto Pale Gray cardstock and added a U letter behind the flower.
My second project features the same supplies, but different colors and some additional techniques. Here my background was created by stamping the flower repeatedly. I omitted the outline layer and only used detail and solid layers to stamp the flower and leaves. I love that this set can be used both ways.
I had to incorporate masking into this project, but I was able to get away with just one flower mask. I used beautiful teal colors from the Sea Shore ink set (didn’t use the darkest color). You can also spot a few dots in the background – I stamped those using little solid circles from the Simple Flowers stamp set.
My sentiment, You’re So Beautiful, was heat embossed in Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder onto a layer of vellum. The stamped panel was trimmed slightly and was foam mounted onto a A2 top folding Pale Gray card base.
