For my first card, I started by heat embossing flower images from Altenew Flower Vine Stamp Set using Altenew Rose Gold Embossing Powder onto A2 sized kraft card stock. I colored flowers with Prismacolor Colored Pencils.
I then lightly ink blended top-left and bottom-right of card using Victorian Velvet distress ink. I splattered same ink with water using paint brush here and there.
I die cut 'love' from white card stock two times using Atlenew Mega Love Die. I glued two pieces of die cuts and rubbed embossing ink pad directly with die cut. I sprinkled Altenew Rose Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it and mounted where I wanted it.
To finish, I stamped a sentiment from Altenew Mega Greetings 3 Stamp Set in brown.
I used a negative card stock from my first card as cover panel of my second card. I stamped flower images from Altenew Flower Vine Stamp Set in light grey using Altenew Morning Frost Crisp Dye Ink.
I heat embossed a sentiment from Altenew Flower Vine Stamp Set using Altenew Rose Gold Embossing Powder as shown.
I ink blended bristol paper using Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick distress oxide inks and covered it up with love panel. Then, I foam mounted whole panel onto beige card stock and embellished with Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss Bubblegum Blush dots.
Next up is simple friendship card. First, I heat embossed one of Altenew Flower Vine Stamp Set images with metallic silver sparkle embossing powder onto vellum. I die cut it using Coordinating Die.
I die cut big sentiment from white card stock as well using Altenew Mega Friend Die two times. I glued them each other for dimension. I then took A2 sized bristol paper and ink blended it with Altenew Caribbean Sky. I splattered same ink with water and clean water and let it dried.
I mounted flower and sentiment die as shown in the picture and stamped a hello sentiment from Altenew Mega Greetings 3 Stamp Set in black.
For my last card, I created patterned background using Altenew Nature Snippets Stamp Set with various Altenew dye inks after I masked off the Altenew 2019 Stamp Set image.
Detailed inks are in the listed supplies below. After I finished stamp layering, I stamped single small stamps from same stamp set here and there as well.
To finish off, I colored 2019 using Copic markers.
That's all for today! Hope you enjoyed and got inspiration from these cards.
