Altenew Celebrating Parent's Card Drive Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Welcome to Altenew Celebrating Parent's Blog Hop! You should have come from amazing Kathy Racoosin, but if not please start at the Altenew blog. Today I am showcasing four different projects for this event.

For my first card I used Best Dad stamp set and Best Dad coordinating die set. I combined the light grey cardstock with Watercolor Stripes Cover Die and Create-a-Wreathe Die set. I die cut the oval out of glitter cardstock and glued them onto my panel.

Next, I stamped the images from Best Dad stamp set, colored them with Copic Markers and die-cut with Best Dad Coordinating die set. Lastly I've added the leaves from Wings of Hope stamp set to finished my card.

For my next card I used Gorgeous Winter Rose stamp set. First, I stamped the flowers and leaves with Altenew inks on watercolor paper.

Then I took my wet paintbrush and went over them with water to blend them and give them a watercolored look and die cut the images with Winter Rose coordinating die set.

Then I watercolored the background with light beige inks and foam mounted the images on top of my panel.

For the sentiment I used Love from Script Words Die set.

For my third card I decided to make a vintage look.

I stamped the flowers from Wildflower Garden stamp set on watercolor paper using Altenew inks and blend them with clean water to give them a watercolored look.

Next, I blended some beige ink over my flowers and splattered with paint.

For my last card I used Wings of Hope stamp set. I stamped the images with Altenew inks and die cut with Wings of Hope coordinating die set.

Next, I blended some pink ink in the center of my panel and splattered with water. I decide to add two gold heat embossed branches from Forever and a Day stamp set on my card for more intersting look.

Next, I foam mounted the flowers on top of my panel and added clear sequins to finished my card.
