Hello friends! Altenew has 12 new fresh dye inks in three colour families! Welcome to Forest Fantasy! This collection is comprised of beautiful purples in Enchanted Garden, sunny yellows in Pocketful of Sunshine and fresh greens in Green Valley. Each colour family is made up of four inks in varying hues that form a gradient. These gorgeous inks are represented in three cards featuring new products from the April release. For the stencilling on the first two cards, SlimGrip Sticky Mats were used to hold the panels. These are FANTASTIC! The mats have a sticky surface on both sides so it not only holds the panel in place but provides a good grip to the StampWheel or work surface. Love this!
This card was created with Floral Radiance; a four piece stencil set. Almost every ink was used from the three colour families! The inks were applied with Micro Blending Brush Set.
For stencil one, Ultraviolet, Wisteria and Citrus Burst were applied to create the base layer for the three kinds of flowers.
Andromeda, Hydrangea and Maple Yellow were used to add the flower details with stencil 2.
For stencil 3, flower centres were coloured with Honey Drizzle and a combination of Firefly and Grass Leaves for the base layer of the leaves.
Mountain Pine completes the vein and stems using stencil 4.
The panel was trimmed to 4” by 5 1/4” and mounted on a black matted, A2 sized card base.
The sentiment is from Timeless Sentiments 2. The shadow die was used to cut both white card stock and foam. It was stacked and the foam backed lavender sentiment adhered it.
The card was embellished with the darkest gems from Sugar Plums Enamel Dot.
