Hello, and welcome to the Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop! If you came from the amazing Vicky Papaioannou’s blog, you are right on track!
To celebrate a new release, I created a couple of quick and simple cards using some of the brand new stamp sets that I designed for Altenew: Halftone Stars and Happy Holidays. Here are what I came up with:
I started by stamping two sentiments from the Happy Holidays Stamp Set with Altenew Jet Black Ink on an A2 sized top folding white card base.
Then I stamped the halftone stars and solid stars from the Halftone Stars Stamp Set with Altenew Volcano Ink. FYI, I stamped large halftone stars first and filled in the gaps with smaller images later.
I finished off my card by adding some dots with Jet Black marker from Altenew Artist Markers Set A. I used a fine tip to get an even look of my dots, but you can use a brush tip if you want.
I just can’t help adding dots to my cards these days. They really add extra details to my card. Hope you are not tired of seeing my signature dots. 🙂
I created another card with the same design but different color. I used Altenew Pinkalicious Ink for the stamping on my second card.
Don’t you just love the non-traditional colors on my both cards? Which color of the card do you like?
