ALTENEW: APRIL 2022 GARDENS AROUND THE WORLD COLLECTION RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY

Welcome, and thanks for spending your time here.

What a fabulous collection! It was so much fun to be able to participate in this release. You should have found your way here from Norine's blog, and you can see the full blog list over at the Altenew Card Blog.

I decided to switch my blog post up today and not share specifics because there are several examples. But, if you are interested in how any of these were made, leave me a comment down below so I can share the details another time:)

The supplies that I have used on this card are:

Meadow Reflections Stamp and Die Bundle

Tide Blue Crisp Dye Ink

Persian Blue Crisp Dye Ink

Arctic Mountain Crisp Dye Ink

Embossing Ink

Clear Embossing Powder

Obsidian Black Ink

Silver foil

Essential Black and White Enamel Dots

Small Blending Brush

White Gel Pen

I stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a butterfly inside as well.

For the second card, the supplies are:

Castle Garden Stamp and Die Bundle

Pastel Sunrise Crisp Dye Ink

Canyon Clay Crisp Dye Ink

Burnt Red Crisp Dye Ink

Mahogany Bark Crisp Dye Ink

Small Blending Brushes

Obsidian Pigment Ink

Celebrate 6 x 6 Paper Pack

Gilded Glitter Cardstock

I made another card with the Castle Garden Stamp and Die Bundle. Similar to the first one but on the first, I used masking tape to block the paper where I wanted to do the ink blending, and with this one I used Masking paper and cut a rectangle with a die in the size that I wanted.

The supplies that I used are:

Castle Garden Stamp and Die Bundle

Fresh Lemon Crisp Dye Ink

Coral Bliss Crisp Dye Ink

Vineyard Berry Crisp Dye Ink

Obsidian Pigment Ink

Nesting Slim Rectangle Dies

For this card, the cute Leaf Canopy-add on set was a winner. I do not have the Leaf Canopy set, but I thought that it pulls its weight very well.

The supplies that I used for this card are:

Leaf Canopy- Add On Stamp and Die Bundle

24 Pan Watercolor Set

Splatter Hot Foil Plate

Platinum Embossing Powder

Embossing Ink

What a gorgeous set this one is!

For my last card, the supplies are:

Morning Flowers Stamp and Die Bundle

Nature's Wonder Mini Ink Cubes

Sugarplums Crisp Dye Oval Set

Sunkissed Crisp Dye Ink

Obsidian Pigment Ink

Splatter Hot Foil Plate

Embossing Ink

Silver Foil

For this card, I did add foil with clear heat embossing with the last layers of the leaves and flowers, then used silver foil with a laminator. It's really hard to see the added foil in the pictures.

I have made another card with this set that I will be sharing soon, with a video as well.

Thanks for taking time to participate.

Make Today Amazing!

Your next stop is Natasha Davies.
