Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Lush Garden Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 



Hello Everyone!

Welcome to ALTENEW CRAFT YOUR LIFE PROJECT KIT: LUSH GARDEN RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.   You are arriving from Michelle Short's blog.  A complete list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.




I might be bias, but the new CRAFT YOUR LIFE KIT: LUSH GARDEN is probably one of the sets I have ever seen.   The possibilities are endless due to the amazing design in the stamp/die/stencils/embossing folder.  Let me show you what  I created with it!




I love the embossing folder in  this kit!  It is detailed, and with just the right placement for the floral cluster.   All I had to do was run teal cardstock through it in my die cutting machine, then rubbing Antique Gold Pigment ink on it.




Once the ink dried,  I trimmed the cardstock to fit  in an A2 card, then added a small sentiment and a bit of gel accents to the card panel... Just love how it turned out!




For my next project, and probably one of my favorites of this month.   I started by using the stencil to create the bases for the flowers ( I followed the layering guide's colors to achieve the colors of the flowers!).



 

Next, I used the stamp set to create the layering look of the flower, and then finished my design with the outline stamp in Black Obsidian ink.  I chose a soft colored background, and cut the bases for my cards and page, then it was all about arranging the flowers in the layout.




I kept my embellishments simple, the  flowers are just perfect for the page.   LOVE how this turned out!  




I am sure that you are all itching to get your hands in this new CRAFT YOUR LIFE KIT: LUSH GARDEN set.  Remember you can always sign up to the Altenew Subscription program to secure your monthly kits ( *** the ones coming up are just as gorgeous as this one!***)  Just click here for more information
