Lovely Bouquet Ensemble

We all know how wonderfully Altenew does florals, and this one most definitely does not disappoint!  This is a beautiful floral arrangement that will fill your cardfront!  For my card I used the stamp and went a bit dramatic, doing the Josephs Coat technique.  That means I ink blended my cardstock first, then heat embossed my image using clear embossing powder and then lastly to bring out the rainbow coloured image, I blended black ink over it until I felt it was fully saturated and evenly covered.  You have no idea how many layers of black ink I used lol

I love the dramatic effect this simple technique lends.  If you haven't tried it yet, than what are you waiting for and Altenew florals are perfect for this too!

Essential Sentiments Hot Foil Plate

You can never have too many sentiments in your stash and this hot foil plate is perfect.  It has a wonderful variety for many different occasions and the fact that it is all one plate, makes life so much easier, as you can make multiples at a time.  The die also is all 1, so it cuts them all out together too!  What crafter doesn't want their life easier...the quicker things get done, the more time for crafting...am I right? lol

Sparkling Botanics Ensemble

Okay now how fun is the Sparkling Botanics Ensemble?  This includes a fun hot foil plate, a stencil, cute little coordinating enamel shapes and a stamp and coordinating die.  I decided to heat emboss the background on black cardstock using white foil and then coloured in some of the shapes using the stencil and the new Cloud White pigment ink.  I then went and added some of the enamel shapes over the white ink blending.  

Love the pop of the enamel shaoes against the black and the white pigment ink stays perfectly white on the black and doesn't fade at all as it dries.

Beautiful Love Ensemble

I used the Enchanted Mirror Die from this ensemble to make this very pretty in pink card.  I ink blended using pink and then add a clear sparkly embossing powder over top of it.  It was added a to pink ink blended background and I added of course, a pink tulip coming out the center of it.  

Did I go overboard with the pink???  No such thing lol  This is such a beautiful and very elegant die, that it is perfect for all of your projects!
