Good morning! Altenew is celebrating their 7th Anniversary this month, and we are kicking things off with a multi-day blog hop with masses of prizes! You should have arrived here from Kathy Racoosin’s blog, and your next stop is Amanda Baldwin. You can also start at the beginning at the Altenew Blog.
I have a project to share with you today using one of my all-time favorite Altenew sets: Poppy Garden. In fact, I love this set so much that I even used it in my Altenew Anniversary post from last year! (How’s that for a coincidence, lol) I created some vibrant, cool red poppies for my project today, colored with my Copic markers. Let’s get started with the details!
To start, I stamped several of the images from Poppy Garden using Permanent Black ink, on white cardstock. I used my Copic markers to color the images.
I die cut the colored flowers using the coordinating dies, then turned my attention to the card base.
I die cut the Leaf Frame Cover Plate die from some black cardstock, then mounted it on a white A2 card base. I love the stark contrast the cover plate creates on the card front! The simple black pattern of the die cut is the perfect foil for the black outline on the stamped flowers.
I arranged the die cut Poppy Garden flowers on the card front, then adhered them using foam adhesive for lots of dimension. I white embossed a greeting from Many Thanks onto a strip of black cardstock. The final touch was to add some metallic gunmental gems for some sparkle.
