Altenew

Tuesday with Tara {take 405} Hugs & Butterfly Kisses

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing cards featuring an Altenew stamp “Butterfly Kisses” and cards I made during my Crafty Live on Facebook last Thursday!  It’s a sweet little stamp set and for these cards I chose to keep it simple with one of my favorite things… Distress Oxide on Kraft paper!  The inks I’ve used are Squeezed Lemonade, Saltwater Taffy & Salvaged Patina and they are such a happy, summery trio of color!

I simply stamped the wings then set them aside to dry before using Versafine Clair in Nocturne to stamp the bodies.  I added some splatters with Distress Oxide Spray in Saltwater Taffy and for the first card I skipped the stamp sentiment and added a die cut ‘hugs’ in Kraft, backed with yellow. Strips of paper bring all three colors onto the white card base.

The second card is super simple- stamped directly on a card base with the addition of the stamp sentiment from the set in black as well.  I also added the butterflies to a matching envelope for a fun pop of color!

These are simple, but cheerful cards!  I hope you like them!  I’ve got one more I’m finishing up still… please watch my instagram page for a look at the third card!  If you haven’t yet checked out our Altenew Blog Hop, there’s still time to be entered to win a prize!  Plus there’s tons of beautiful inspiration there!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Altenew Daisies Card using Copics

Card using Altenew 3D embossing folder called Daisies

Hello to you! I am back today with a card I made using Altenew’s 3D embossing folder called “Daisies”, which I coloured using Copic markers. Yes, it is a little more time consuming, but I always love the results, and I hope you do as well.

First was to prepare my piece of cardstock. I spritzed both sides of my Hammermill card with water before inserting in the embossing folder, which relaxes the paper. I then ran the piece through my Gemini Jr.

For this card I used 2 layers of B01 to colour the background. As there were some very tiny areas where my Copic tip would not fit I added Sharpie thin markers and went around the flowers and stems with green and blue markers.

I coloured the flower centres using T02, Y15,  Y17 and Y38; for the flowers I used C1 and C3; and the leaves are YG15, YG17 and YG25.

When all the colouring was complete I attached the panel to my Neenah cardbase using Art Glitter glue, which allowed me a bit of wiggle room.

After all my colouring I did not want to cover up anything on the front of the card so I did not add a sentiment. As I always finish the inside of my cards I will put the sentiment inside the card, once I determine who I will be sending it to.

I hope you have enjoyed this card today, and wish to thank you for your visit.

See you next time.
