Happy 11th Birthday Altenew

Hey Crafty Friends

Thank you for stopping by our blog on Altenew's 11th Birthday Blog Hop. We're excited to be asked to participate again.

Altenew have been amazing innovators in the crafting industry over the past 11 years, starting with stamps and progressing to dies, stencils, embossing folders, inks, sprays, tools, paints and watercolours. Most recently they added Shimmer Relief Pastes to their collection, which are so popular, it's hard to keep them in stock.

Today we feature on of Altenew's newest releases - Build-A-Garden - Through The Tulips.

In this card, I stamped the Tulips using an Obsidian Black ink pad and using the stencils, coloured them with Mauve, Berrylicious and Acai Berry inks from the Dried Petals ink range and Jade, Eucalyptus and Forest Fern from the Frosted Foliage ink range. On a second set of Tulips, I didn't use the Acai Berry, allowing it to be a softer set of Tulips.

Using Versatile Greetings 2 Die Set, I cut "Happy Birthday" on Laser card and blended Berrylicious and Acai Berry over it. I layered it on the shadow die, cut from Bazzill Lily White.
