Altenew Rosy Outlook

Cardz 4 Galz – add texure

Hello. The new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz is to add texture to your girlie makes. Here is my card:

The texture I chose was to add some embossing paste through a stencil. This paste is from Altenew, and I added the new Tim Holtz colour – Prize Ribbon – to the paste before scaping through the stencil.

The Altenew paste comes as a light mousse consistency, and leaves a soft, almost flexible and furry texture when dried. I made so much of the coloured paste – that I couldn’t resist creating more backgrounds and cards with what was left………….and it certainly went a long way:

I used several stencils, and cut the panels in several ways, adding some Altenew stamps in varying layouts. I left most of them without a sentiment, as I can add later if I choose – but I also like the look without a sentiment too.

I hope you can come and join us with your textured creations – I look forward to seeing your creations. xx

Birthday Roses

Hello yet again. I have a card to share absolutely brimming full with roses:

I started by using a Stampin Up stencil and Cosmic Shimmer Texture Paste on a base layer, and whilst that was drying, I stamped and die cut the Altenew ‘Rosy Outlook’ images several times.

The sentiment is also from Altenew – forgetting that the ‘y‘ from ‘happy’ has a fault in it – so I took a black art liner pen and coloured the ‘fault’ in.

I played with the arrangement several times, and used 3D gel and my ‘go-to’ glue – the Tonic Deluxe adhesive.

Here is a close-up of the shimmer on the paste:

Hello there. I have another card to share, using the Altenew ‘Rosy Outlook’ stamp and die set:

I stamped the flowers using Altenew inks, but for the fourth layer of the large rose I heat embossed in gold. The leaves I stamped the first two layers in green, then heat embossed the third layer in gold too.

The sentiment is from a Stampin Up stamp set, again heat embossed in gold, then doing a little juggling and partial die-cutting, I managed to cut the length to size, adding a little ‘flag’ ending to it.

I used Altenew ‘Dotted Swirls Debossing cover die’ for the background, layered with some black card stock – and there we have it.
