Altenew July 2025 Inspiration Challenge!

I'm playing along with the latest Altenew Inspiration Challenge! 

I happened to be working on some Artist Trading Cards for a swap when I checked out the post and the colours I was using were the same as the colour inspiration!

What are Artist Trading Cards? 2.5" x 3.5" cards that are handmade, unique works or a small series work of art that may be inspired by a theme which can be traded with others. 

I used the Let's Go stamp and stencil, Grass Field and Shadow Creek Fresh Dye Inks, Vanilla Cream, Caribbean Sky and Sapphire Crisp Dye Inks.

I added stars with the Milky Way stencil and Pearl Shimmer Relief Paste.

It's really fun creating these small pieces of art, a great way to play with techniques and supplies!

Thanks for stopping by!

Altenew February Inspiration Challenge!

 

I'm playing along with the latest inspiration challenge at Altenew and created a card with the Zero-Waste Flowery Pattern 3D Embossing Folder.

Here's a close up look:

I embossed two panels, inking the embossing folder and then running a white card stock panel through the die cut machine to transfer the ink to the paper. 

I fussy cut the florals from the second embossed white panel, inked with Aqualicious Fresh Dye Ink and then adhered to the first panel with Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I embellished with enamel dots and Satin Gold sequins after misting the panel with Iridescent Ink Spray.
