Altenew November 2021 Sparkle and Shine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)
Hello everyone, I am so excited you are here! This release is beyond amazing and I can’t wait to show you the projects I have been working on. You should have arrived from Verity Biddlecombe‘s blog. If you have lost your way on this crafty journey, please start at the Altenew Card blog.
I’m starting off with another rainbow project! As soon as I saw the new inks, I knew I wanted to use them all on one card. I used Painted Rainbows, from a previous release for the paint splotch image. My sentiments were stamped with Obsidian pigment ink.
This card began by ink blending Blueberry and Tanzanite inks onto cardstock. I splattered the background with Antique Silver and Pure White ink sprays. I set the background aside to work on my tree. I die cut the two elements for the tree and taped them into the negative space so I could ink blend. I used Green Opal and Rhodolite to ink blend my elements. I cannot get enough of these gorgeous new inks! I used All About Wishes to die-cut some Dazzling Diamonds cardstock. I applied my elements to my panel once it was dry.
These coloring books are beyond amazing! I was in love with them when the previous one was released. I love that Altenew provides us with so many options to express our creativity and practice techniques.
I started with the Artists Grade 24 Pan set of watercolors for this project. Using a #3 paintbrush, I chose to use Cherry Blossom, Tropical Forest, and Rock Collection for coloring my florals. To finish my card I used Reason To Smile for my sentiment and Cherry Blossom enamel dots.
This is my favorite card that I created for this release, let me know yours in the comments below. The paper in this book is like silk — it is the PERFECT compliment to the artist markers. Colors used: Warm & Cozy, Green Valley, and Coffee Break. My sentiment comes from Simple Sentiments and I finished the card with Warm & Cozy enamel dots.
Over the next few days, I have a couple projects I am holding back to share with you. It’s always fun to share creativity everyday!
