Hi there friends! Welcome to my stop of the Altenew March 2018 release. You should of arrived here from Lilith Eeckels blog. I am so excited to be here and for this hop that is releasing some gorgeous stencils and washi and ink sprays!



I of course gravitated for the Stencils!





To start I have this vision of of gold using the newest Deco Wallpaper Stencil

 
This card was so much fun to make, that I made a pictorial of this card.
 
To begin, I am stenciling a piece of black card stock, 
 
I secured the stencil to my cardstock using washi tape.




Added gold glitter Bo Bunny Paste

 

Allowed to dry and remove stencil

 

Measure out a hot pink paper banner

 

Add sentiment, and layer flowers
 
Finish off with a die cut sentiment! 
 
 
Don’t you love the boldness of the black gold and pink?! I sure do! 
 
For my second project, I have a fun ink blending creation. 

 

For this card, I used the Classy Stripes stencil, blended with Altenew Industrial Diamond and Silver Stone.. Stamped the sentiment,  then I splattered ALL of the sprays, placed my flower over that with foam adhesive. 
and last but not least I made this vision of pink with the Deco Wallpaper Stencil and Altenew range of pink inks! 
 
To make this, I began by placing my stencil over the card base and securing it down with washi tape. 



I blended the Altenew Frosty Pink



Next to the Frosty Pink, I blended Coral Berry



and lastly I added Ruby Red.



I then removed the stecil and stamped the sentiment using Pure Graphite.



Then I splattered the card with the Altenew Sprays in Jet Black, Metallic Silver, and Iridescent.



Once the sprays had dried, I placed a flower to the card with foam adhesive.

 
Which of these is your favorite?

  1. Your backgrounds with the stencils add so much dimension and texture. My favorite is the the second one with the classy stripes and I love those gold glitter leaves…beautiful touch!

  2. Fabulous card designs! I love the pop of pink against the gold and black on the first card. The ink splatters on the second card along with the bright yellow rose is so pretty. Thanks for sharing how you used the new products!

  3. I recently bought a pad of black and white pattern paper to use as accents in my cards. Now I see that with just a bit of time, ink, and these wonderful stencils, I can create my own graphic pattern paper!

  4. Such amazing cards and wonderful talents, I'm lovin the new products, by the way I nsnef my daughter crystal. So gotta,say love your name too😣

  5. Love your cards. The first one is just stunning! And I love that you have used two of my favorite products – the Deco Wallpaper stencil and the gorgeous Peony Bouquet stamp set.

  6. What a wonderful new line of stencils – so innovative, and love that you can use each one in different ways to achieve multiple effects. The inspiration is amazing!

  7. Crystal, your cards are so beautiful and elegant! I have to admit I am not a lover of just pink cards, but the last one has captured my heart. Love the soft coloring of the wallpaper stencil and the flower is gorgeous!

  8. Beautiful cards using the new stencils! My favorite is the pink deco wallpaper card — all of that yummy pink! Thanks for sharing your creativity.

  9. Gorgeous designs Crystal! Love the art deco stencil! I already follow you on IG, thanks for the inspiration! Have a wonderful day!

  10. I appreciate that you used the art deco stencil both horizontally and vertically to show us its versatility. Both ways are just gorgeous. I love that you can get the bold look with the gold paste and the softer look with the lighter inks. I also really enjoy the gradient you made with the stripes. That's such a beautiful look underneath those lovely spatters. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!
