Altenew 9th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway (over $2,200 in Total Prizes)

 

Welcome here as we continue celebrating Altenew's 9th Anniversary! 

Your previous stop was Natasha Davis and the hop starts at the Altenew Card Blog.

I'm excited to share some Altenew inspiration with you and I used the Craft your Life Project Kit: Bewitching Rose.

I love the large size of this image and used all the products on this one card. After inking the stamped image with the coordinating stencils I lightly inked white card stock with the ink remaining on the Mini Ink Blending tools and then embossed with the Project Kit embossing folder.

I've used the Cherry Blossom, Green Meadows and Sea Shore Crisp Dye Inks in addition to Jet Black.

The sentiment is stamped with Altenew Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed with Antique Silver Embossing Powder.

Altenew Educators Viva Magenta Instagram Hop!

 Hello Friends!

I had so much fun creating this card for the latest Altenew Certified Educator's Instagram Hop! Don't forget to leave a comment on my INSTAGRAM @rosieneust for a chance to win a gift card from Altenew!

I started this card with a A2 watercolour panel. I smooshed the panel into Ruby Red spray ink and also Razzleberry Dye ink which I placed on to my glass mat. Once that was dry, I mixed Altenew Embossing Paste with Ruby Red spray ink and then spread through the Altenew Folk Flowers stencil, diagonally on the bottom 2/3 of the panel.

While the panel dried, I die cut the floral from Altenew 6x6 Poured Acrylic paper with the Folk Flowers die. Then I spattered gold watercolour from the Metallic Watercolour 14 pan set, adhered Gold Foil .5 inch Washi tape, the die cut sentiment and the Folk Flower die cut with liquid adhesive.

If you're inspired by this hop to create a project, please tag me @rosieneust on Instagram as I'd love to see your project!

Remember to hop along and comment on INSTAGRAM for a chance to win!
