 Hi everyone and welcome back to another card making video today I'm playing with new stamps and eyes that have just been released by Altenew I'm just browsing through some of the stamp sets really quickly so you can take a look and This is actually part of a blog hop There are lots of giveaways and inspiration so make sure to visit my blog to find all about it now in the new release you will find stamps dies as well as matching stencils and For today, I will be working with probably my favorite from this release. This is called delicate bouquet and this stamp set is Absolutely beautiful. It gives you this lovely flower bouquet that you can color with your favorite mediums There are also matching dies available that I don't have but you will see how I will be able to add some dimension without having to cut all around this flower bouquet and I'm going to start by stamping my image for that. I'm working on my misty This is Nina solar white cardstock and I will be stamping with permanent black ink by Altenew Just because I will be working with my alcohol markers to add color or my images This is a big stamp and it is the first time I'm inking it so it is a good idea to use a misty So that I can stamp again on top to get a good impression Now for coloring my image I'm using my Altenew alcohol markers three colors and these are the lighter one is blush Now I'm switching to rouge and then the darkest one is crimson and you can see the color codes on your screen right now Now I started coloring the first petal Lightest to darkest and then back with my mid color to make sure that everything is nicely blended But this really takes me a lot of time and I prefer my coloring to be quick So I'm going to switch now and I will color the rest of the petal starting from darkest all the way to lightest And it's going to work just fine. The areas are quite small. So you don't have to do a lot of blending I'm starting with the darker color at the base of the petal and Gradually go to lightest as I go to the tip If you never used Altenew alcohol markers before try them out. They are nice and juicy They blend nicely together plus they have the perfect soft brush nib Altenew also gives you a color chart. So, you know exactly which Markers match together and blend nicely So you get a four different shades of the same color that match together And the fun part is that they are a perfect match to their ink colors So I will continue coloring petal by petal until I have all the flowers ready And now I'm going to switch and start coloring the leaves for my leaves I went with just two shades since they are such small areas The light green is freight leaf and the darker shade is forest glades And you can see the color numbers on your screen right now Just like always you will find everything linked down below Now after coloring everything if you have the matching tie you can cut it out and pop it on a card Instead since I don't have that and I want to add jump dimension I'm going to use my ruler and place it on top of my card base And with my craft knife I'm going to cut a couple of lines On top and at the bottom making sure that I don't go through the design And then I can use my scissors and cut out one edge My panel is four and a quarter by five and a half by the way Which means that it's going to have the exact same dimensions as my card base And as I'm cutting out the edge I'm making sure that I leave a white border It makes my life easier and it's going to look nice when I am going to place it on top of my card So I'm cutting this design out until I meet the top line that I did with my craft knife Now once I cut this out and place it on top of my card base I didn't like how far I cut it out. I wanted to be even more So that's why I'm going to do the exact same thing one more time and make it just a little bit deeper Cutting one part of the design and creating kind of a decorative border Is one of my favorite techniques. I think it looks beautiful on top of a card Plus you don't have to cut all around the image, especially if you don't have the die Also notice that to match this border with a beautiful design I picked a green cardstock that's four and a quarter by five and a half And I tried to match the color of the green with the color of the leaves So now to decorate it even more I'm going to use this new stamp set This is called shine like a diamond and it has this big I think big leave it six by six Design of diamonds, which I'm going to stamp on top of this green cardstock Now I am going for a tone on tone look since I don't want this to be super vibrant and That's why I'm using a green ink on that And you can probably tell that I didn't do a perfect stamping here But it really doesn't matter most of it. It's going to be covered with my decorative flower border So it's going to be just fine Now I also grabbed my gold cardstock and I'm going to cut out a strip out of that And with my novelty looks glue. I'm going to stick it at the back along the cut line So this is going to give a nice pop of shine Now my border looks more finished and it has that professional look to it I'm going to use my scissors to cut out any excess paper And then at the back of this I'm going to add some foam tape The foam tape that I'm using is by Arteza and it is a great price. I absolutely love this one And I'm going to stick that on top of my panel And just like I always say a flower card is perfect for any occasion So it's up to you whatever you want to add on top as a sentiment Now I decided to go with hello there, which I stamped with black ink on a thin strip of white cardstock And finally I'm going to embellish the green part of my card with a few gems in white color And I'm picking up my gems with my embellishment wand by Studio Katia, which I find it's really really handy And now all I have to do is to stick this panel on top of a pre-folded card That's four and a quarter by five and a half Here are some close-up photos from the project that I made for today Don't forget this is part of a blog hope there are lots of giveaways, so make sure to visit my blog I hope that you had fun today that you got inspired and thank you all for watching
