Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Garden Rose Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

 

Welcome to the October Craft Your Life:Garden Rose release blog hop and giveaway. You should have arrived here form Vicky Papaioannou, if not you can go back to the start of the hop at anytime by visiting the Altenew Card Blog.


The Craft Your Life Garden Rose project kit is in store and available as a one off purchase here  CYL Garden Rose.


The Craft you life Projects kits are also available as a Monthly Subscription plan, which means you'll be guaranteed to receive the kit each month at a discounted price. 


My first card using the CYL Garden Rose project kit uses the 3D embossing folder. I embossed a piece of solar crest card and used my mini bending brushes to add inks. I used Mountain Mist, Citrus Burst and Frosty Pink. I love how the peachy tone appears when the yellow and pink inks blend.  I added a die cut sentiment using the Simple Friend die 

This next card was all about the stencils in the kit, using them to create a background, sentiment and add colour to the flower. I kept the colour pallet the same as in my previous card as I like to create sets when working with kits like this. I used the die set to cut the Rose and leaves which I added using Altenew's instant dimension foam tape.


This card was easy to create, I used some masking paper in order to be able to get the leaves looking like they are tucked in behind the Rose. I added colour with the stencil in the kit. As I moved my stencil I somehow managed to put a yellow smudge on the card, I admit at first I was annoyed and in a panic I decided to add more smudges and I'm actually happy with how it worked out. I added the sentiment using the stencil, first in Frosty pink and the moving the stencil slightly to add a drop shadow effect I used the Dew Drops ink.


The final card int he set uses the embossing folder for the background, once embossed I swiped the Frosty Pink ink pad lightly over the surface just catching the highest points. I added some stamped, stencilled and die cut flowers and leaves with foam tape.  I heat embossed the sentiments in white on to the Featured Sentiments dies.

  21. Great combination of colors. I love that you took lemons and made lemonade! I would have never known If you hadn't said so, but kudos to you, because I would have been trying to get it out with my mono eraser! Ha. I have been trying to go over the embossed backgrounds lightly and I guess this cant be done with the mini cubes because I botched it up. I will keep practicing because that made a stunning backdrop.
