Altenew October Dies and Inks Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Altenew is releasing 12 new ink colors to help you stamp perfect images every time! Altenew inks work like magic with their stamp sets and help you create gorgeous layers for your cards!  I create a card using new purples – I used all 4 colors along with the Wild Hibiscus stamp and matching dies.

First I stamped a subtle background for my card using Soft Lilac. I used a few images from the Wild Hibiscus set and alternated them to create a barely visible print on the card base. I used the other 3 colors of ink – Midnight Violet, Deep Iris and Lavender Fields to stamp other images from this set. I intentionally made some darker and some lighter for a beautiful monochromatic look.

All of my stamped images were die cut using matching dies. I foam mounted them onto my stamped card base by using Scrapbook Adhesive foam squares. I also added a beautiful Gold Timeless Frame and layered my florals in front and also behind the frame.

That sentiment was stamped using Midnight Violet ink color, I used a Many Thanks stamp set and stamped Thank you Forever Grateful. To finish this simple card I added several gold glitter enamel dots from Crate Paper’s After Dark pack.

  1. Wow! What a stunning card! It makes me so glad that I bought the Wild Hibiscus set 🙂 Thank you so much for the wonderful inspiration. Always love your work.

  2. Love the variation of using the single stamps to create a monochromatic collage rather than layering the flowers. It really shows off these gorgeous new colors.

  3. This is such a beautiful card, as everyone has mentioned. Love the choice of colors and the use of the gold frame. This is just so elegant!

  4. I am loving the gorgeous new colours! Your card is fabulous, I love the contrast between the subtle background and the more vibrant die-cut images!

  5. Beautiful card Yana. The purple ink color is nice and bright….I like that. I will check out Altenews newest release…I see several things I need.

  6. Your card is beyond gorgeous, Yana…the purple and gold combination is extraordinarily stunning! An inspired and inspiring showcase. Looks like I’ll be shopping!

  7. Love the purple and gold combo, very elegant. I really like the Altenew inks. They stamp crisply and really really the color gradation within color families.
