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 VioletDeep 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. Words don’t express how much I enjoy your style and your cards. Altenew is becoming one of my favorite companies and this new release is delightful.

  2. Amazing card! I really like the gold frame use to make this so elegant. Beautiful design and very inspiring. Can’t wait to get these new stamps!

  3. I love the layers and the rich gold peeking out so that it accents and doesn’t over power. Just beautiful.

  4. Love the gold frame behind the flowers. The monochromatic coloring is beautiful.
    thanks for sharing a wonderful card.

  5. The pretty gold frame looks so great with the new ink colors. I love the card you’ve made, Yana.

  6. A really pretty card Yana and the very gentle background stamping is just right with the pretty hibiscus and just the stamping without added colour works really well with the gold frame and love the purple colours too. x

  7. I’ve only recently bought the wild hibiscus so I’m excited about the dies. Your card is so lovely & elegant with the purple tones & gold accent.

  8. Pretty card, Yana! I love how you layered everything! Thank you for the chance to win! (sorry if I commented twice, I can’t see my first comment)

  9. I love all the new dies. Now I need to save up so I can get the ones that match the stamps I already have.

Like what you see? Drop me a comment! Thanks!
