Hello and welcome back to my blog! It’s time for the new Craft Your Life Project Kit reveal! I’m so excited to join Altenew for the brand new Craft Your Life Project Kit: Hello Beautiful Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should be arriving here from the awesome Ishani’s blog, but if not, you can go back to the start, at the Altenew Card Blog and go from there.
Project 1
First, I placed an A2 Kraft cardstock in the Hello Beautiful Embossing Folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. Next, I inked the edges using Jet Black Ink along with an ink blending tool.
After that, I coloured the image using a white pastel pencil and added the shadows using a 2B pencil. Then I added the details on the flowers using a black gel pen. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment using Obsidian Pigment Ink and stuck this card panel on an A2 card base.
Supplies:
Project 2
I started by stamping the outline of the flower image from the Hello Beautiful Stamp Set on an A2 card base using Obsidian Pigment Ink. Next, I inked the rest of the layers using the Simple Coloring Stencil Set along with the below Crisp Dye Inks:
Flower:
1st Layer – Citrus Burst, Orange Cream
2nd Layer – Heart Beat, Jet Black
3rd Layer – Just Green
4th Layer – Hunter Green
Leaves:
1st Layer – Firefly, Just Green
2nd Layer – Hunter Green, Evergreen, Jet Black
I then drew the lines around the image using a steel ruler and a black fine liner pen. After that, I masked the image and the edges using a masking paper. Next, I placed the Fine Tulle Stencil on the card panel and inked it using Tide Blue Crisp Dye Ink. Then, I splattered Jet Black Ink on the card panel using a round brush.
As the last step, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Obsidian Pigment Ink.

So different but oh so beautiful. The vibrant colours on card 2 just draws you in but card 1 is glorious. Love it.
Gorgeous cards. Really liked the tan card the best. My favorite part about it was it looked as if you were using a filter like on cameras where there is a vignette! Such a cool look, I will have to try that technique if I can remember! Makes a great focal point on the flowers!
Love that brown tone card. I think it is so neat that you can make it look like the card has it’s own light source just with inks.
Gorgeous cards. I love those bright colors on the second one.
stunning cards – LOVE your coloring
Great cards! Thanks for the inspiration.
So amazing!! I love the flowers on the kraft cardstock!
What a contrast of colors in the two cards but both turned out beautiful. Shows so much can be done with same set. Thanks!
Lovely cards! I like the strong, bright color in the 2nd card, and the blue background.
I have never seen the technique used on the first card before. That is so pretty and makes it look like a spotlight is shining on it.
Tropical theme on your second card. Just pops right out. Nice work!
These are gorgeous!! I really love both…..but the first one just calls to me. I have everything I need to try it too. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!!
Great project shares. I like the first combination on the brown.
