Scrap N Stamp ALTENEW Blog Hop!

 Hey friends, welcome back!  Today we are featuring Altenew products in this months blog hop for Scrap N Stamp Canada!



Scrap N Stamp has recently started to carry the Altenew line of products which is super exciting! There is truly something for everyone!

For my project, I used the GORGEOUS Peony Sunshine 3D embossing folder. I used a thick, kraft cardstock for this and it worked beautifully!


After the embossing, I trimmed the panel down to fit onto an A2, ivory card base leaving a border. To spice things up a bit, I lightly rubbed a white pigment ink pad over the top. This catches the "high" points of the embossed image and brings out the pattern!


For even more added detail, I took some coloured pencils and added some fairly subtle shading. I used a brown pencil to outline it and it seems to pop of the paper even more!

I just so happened to have a small frame in my "use it up" pile and it worked perfectly to frame the kraft panel. Everything was foam mounted onto the base.



The sentiment comes from an older Altenew set called Painted Butterflies. I did add a few gems but they blend maybe a little too well!
