Altenew was kind enough to send me some of the new goodies to play with and boy, did I ever have fun! I have 4 cards to share with you so let's get to it!
***Some products used are linked down below***
The first three cards were created using some of the new ink sprays. The colors are soooo pretty!
The spray I used on this card is called, Coral Berry. I gave the card-front a few sprays and loved how I got some larger drops. I decided it would be fun to circle those drops with a white gel pen. I then colored a couple of flowers from Altenew's, Smile More stamp set, with Copic markers. The sentiment, which I love, is from their, Dahlia Blossoms set.
I used a really fun technique for the next two cards!
See those fun bubbles? That was created with one of the new stencils called, Tiny Bubbles. Instead of laying the stencil down on top of a card panel and spraying with the, Ocean Waves ink spray, I sprayed ONLY the stencil. Then, I pressed the card panel down on top of the stencil, carefully rubbed it before lifting it up. I love that you get the negative effect of the stencil! So cool! That sweet, little chick, tiny flowers and sentiment are all from the, Bunny Love stamp set.
I used the same technique with this card, but the new stencil I used is called, Halftone. And that gorgeous purple color was achieved with the, Lavender Fields ink spray - so pretty! I die-cut a circle and added a sentiment from Altenew's, Bunny Love and some little flowers from their, Vintage Flowers set.
One last card using another new stencil. This one is called, Floral Drape and it's a beauty!
For this card, I shaded the floral images with some soft Distress Inks. I wanted to add some doodling but was a bit scared. I decided to just go for it and I love how whimsical they turned out! The sentiment is from the Smile More set.
That's it for me - I hope I've inspired you to try out these beautiful stencils and sprays!
Your next stop on the hop is the amazingly talented, Yoonsun Hur and her blog, Rejoicing Crafts!

What beautiful cards you created. I love the techniques you used to get the different effects.
Wonderful. Every little scroll down the page was a new surprise. That purple is just gorgeous and perfect for the sentiment and flowers. And (except for this blog hop, I am not sure I would have looked at a floral stencil and thought about doodling the shapes in after coloring! It's la wonderful technique and one I want to remember to try. Thanks so much.
Love your designs!
this release is so fantastic and love all the fantastic creations you have shared!
