ALtenew Dye-Licious Instagram hop and a Video!
Hi!
Today I’m just popping in really quickly to let you know there is an Instagram hop going on. Altenew has a range of gorgeous inks in all colours and shades, and that is definitely something worth celebrating. I love colours and use them generously on most of my projects. A Clean And Simple style of gal I am not… Apparently a bit of Yoda I do have in me though.
I have used the aptly named Sugar Rush product suite for two cards, and I have a YouTube video for these too over on my channel.
The Sugar Rush suite consists of layering stencils and a coordinating diecut, and I have used SO. MANY. INKS to make these colourful cards! I have also used so many different ink blending tools, like the small flat bristled ones to the mini angled brushes ones.
At the risk of being a one-trick-pony, I have used the Timeless Sentiment 2 diecut set for one of the cards. It is one of my favourites, after all so hey, don’t come for me.
For this ‘have a good day’ I used white card stock for the shadow part and Brushed Gold Metallic card stock for the actual words. This is popped up with a bit of Instant Dimension Foam Tape for extra dimension.
This is actually images from the first ink blending I did, but I wasn’t 100% happy with how it turned out so I decided to use the coordinating diecut to cut out the bits that had bled. I ended up with enough pieces leftover to cover a whole card base, so that’s what I did.
This one has some gold water colour splatters on it too, from the Metallic Watercolor 14 pan set, and I think it adds just enough to make the background a bit interesting. On this one I also added some Satin Gold Pearl Dots and a heat embossed sentiment from Pocket Sentiments.
The giveaway has already concluded so ignore all of that, and focus on the card making in the video. I hope you enjoy it!
That’s it from me for today, thank you so much for stopping by and don’t forget to join in the Instagram hop for your chance to win some prizes!
