Altenew May 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

18 May 2023

 


Welcome to the May 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series. If you have come from Virginia's blog  your are right on track. You can start the hop over on Altenew Card Blog

Today I have several cards to share with you. The first one was created with the Craft A Flower Fragrant Peony Layering Die Set. I opted to use the new Glitter Gradient Cardstock (Golden Sunrise and Blue Crystals). Some metallic watercolours create a fun backdrop for the pretty flowers. 



The next series of cards were created with the Craft Your Life Project Kit. The first two cards were made with the Marigold Butterflies Set. If you subscribe this month you will get the June release which it the Botanical Line Art Set. I have posted a card featuring that set. 


This month I was in a glittery mood so one again I used some metallic watercolours. I coloured the Embossing Folder from the Marigold Butterflies Set with Altenew's Metallic Water colours and added a Butterfly which I stamped in black and coloured in using some crisp inks and a blending tool. This is an easy way to colour in your stamped images. 


As I had made several butterflies I created a second card using two of them. I added a vertical element using Slim Washi tape which I placed in the centre of the card. A sentiment in the middle finishes it off. 



Here is a look at the June Craft A Life release. This line art is so fun. I used it as outline and then coloured the petals and leaves using zentangle motifs.
