Hi All, I have made these cards with the Altenew FREEBIE from the Australian Simply Cards Magazine . This fabulous freebie comes with a beautiful build a rose stamp and die. 

I have played with all my gray inks from different stamp companies such as Hero Arts, Stampin Up & Ranger Distress collections. 

All the roses are stamped with Stampin Up Strawberry Slush, Blushing Bride, Crisp Cantaloupe.

The leaves have been stamped with Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz & Gumball Green.  

Each background has been blended in with the Ink Ranger blending tool. I repeat stamped the middle step rose stamp with the same ink I blended the background with.

All cards have been embellished with sequins.

Hero Arts Grey Ink - Wet Cement

Distress Inks - Pumice Stone & Hickory Smoke

Stampin Up Basic Gray &Smokey Slate.

I made a HUGE stack of these cards. Same design but I alternated the Altenew Golden Garden & Wild Hibiscus stampsets and changed up the greetings. I made many gift sets for the end of school year for my kids teachers.

The card base is basic black from Stampin Up and I have used Nina Solar White 80 pound card stock. I used Versafine Onyx Black ink thought out the whole card.

The background has been stamped with Simon Says Stamp Diagonal striped background stampset which has been heat embossed in clear embossing powder from WOW embossing.

The images have been coloured in using my Peerless watercolours.

I have entered this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge.

Today's card entry is for the Altenew September Blog Challenge.

I love the gold foil detail from the inspirational picture is just exquisite. 

For my card I have used the gold element from the picture and stamped the leaves in gold from the Vintage Roses stampset. 

The colour combination used are all ink from the Memento Luxe range. Angel Pink, Rose Bud & Sweet Plum. 

I have also repeatedly stamped the Happy Anniversary stampset with Antique Linen distress ink over the white cardstock base as an added interest.  

The label love stampset has been used with versafine Onyx Black ink

Hi All, welcome to today's card creation. Today I have used one of my favourite floral layered stamping sets from Altenew "Painted Flowers". This has to be one of the funnest stampset to play with as the colour combinations are endless.

Today's flower combination I have stuck with a muted coral pink collections both are from Simon Says Stamp - "Rosie Cheeks & Pale Blush Inks. The leaves are stamped with Spring Rain. I have used Onyx Black Versafine ink to make the black outline stand bold and sold against the colours.

The sentiment stampset is from Inspired By Stamping " Petite Banners".

I have kept this card rather sweet and simple. Hope you enjoyed today's creation and don't forget to leave a comment.

Today's card inspiration is from the Altenew Blog Challenge .

I used the woodgrain cardstock as my card base and heat embossed with gold embossing powder on vellum with the Hennah Elements stampset.

I left this card rather simple and elegant by using some gold twine to help embellish the card along with a simple "hello"die cut sentiment.

Hi All, Welcome to today's card. Today I used the IndigoBlu Flitter Glu and Mega Flake Copper Kettle to make this simple yet elegant card. 

The color cardstock I chose for today is Blackberry Bliss from Stampin Up. 

The stampsets used are from Altenew Hennah Elements & Stampin Up Perfectly Penned.

This card is a very simple design. Hope you enjoyed visiting my blog. Dont forget to watch the you tube link below on how I made this card.

Hi All, This is my first time playing along in this blog challenge and had a ball playing along.

I played with the smooshing technique that Kristina Werner and Laura Bassen has recently been demonstrating on You Tube. 

The distress inks I used for the butterflies were picked raspberry, squeezed lemonade, cracked pistachio and peacock feathers.

I die cut the smooshing technique piece I worked on with the Floating Butterflies from Memory box.

The sentiment is from Altenew Label Love stamped in Hero Arts Black ink.  To help tie in the black from the sentiment and butterfly I placed washi tape along the left side of of the card.
