Tranquil Wings

This card didn’t turn out as I expected and is my favorite of the bunch. I used a mix of ink blending and alcohol ink markers.

Altenew Tranquil Wings Stencil

I used Tranquil Wings Stencil, Dotted Starburst Debossing Cover Die, and Bold Greetings Dies. Rose Petal Altenew Artist Markers created a perfect gradient effect on the Bold Greetings sentiment die.

Open Blooms 3D Die Set

I’m still enchanted with the Altenew Artists’ Watercolor set and used Shades of Purple and Crystal Waters to create the paper for this lovely Open Blooms flower.

Altenew Open Blooms 3D Die Set

I paired Open Blooms 3D Die set with the Bold Greetings Die Set and the Fine Frames Square Die Set. While I adhered the Open Bloom layers with glue, you can add more dimension with foam squares.

Fine Frames Diamond Die Set

The Fine Frames Diamond and Square Die Sets are perfect for focal points, layering, and framing elements. Here they take center stage.

Altenew Fine Frames Diamond Dies

I used the positive frame cut from black cardstock and the negative center cut from sunflower cardstock to create a focal point. Bold Greetings modern font, goes well with all styles of cards.

Fancy For You Die

Altenew Artists’ Watercolor provides the perfect backdrop for the Fancy For You Die.

Fine Frames Square Die helps to draw your eye to the sentiment amid the watercolor background.

Bursting Dahlia Stencil

The name says it all, this dahlia is a huge open bloom perfect for a focal point or layered background images.

No masking is needed for these layered dahlia images. I’ve paired it with a stacked Bold Greetings Die.

    Wow! The textural depth you’ve created in all of these cards is almost mind blowing! Even the dahlias on a single layer have depth. And the subtle accent of the dots on the black butterfly card is really snazzy. Beautifully done! Thank you for sharing and teaching us!
