Here are some photos of the cards I made with the Rustic Rose and Dynamic Duo Painted Blossoms sets for the video hop. Be sure to click the link above to watch the full tutorial. Or you can scroll down for more inspo with this release!

These cards use the Rustic Rose Bundle and Dynamic Duo: Painted Blossoms among many other supplies from this release.  You might also notice the Rustling Leaves embossing folder in the background of the rose. These sets mix and match so nicely and I think that's the beauty of it all!

Rustling Leaves Bundle

On this card, I used the Rustling Leaves BetterPress plate to emboss the gold cardstock. Then I used the Rustling Leaves BetterPress plates and coordinating stencils to add some colourful leaves. The sentiment is from the CAF April Kiss Camellia set.

This card uses the Rustling Leaves embossing folder in the background and for the leaves in the foreground, I used the letterpress plates and coordinating dies and stencils. And the sentiment is from the DD Painted Blossoms set. I thought complementing the embossed leaves with letterpressed leaves draping around the circular center would give a beautiful flowing look. 

My next card uses the Rustling Leaves BetterPress plates on black cardstock with cloud white pigment ink and on white cardstock with black ink. I also pressed the plates into some silver cardstock for an embossed look. I cut the center with arched dies and coloured in the background leaves with coloured pencils. This card has lots of different techniques all in one!

Craft-Your-Life Project Kit: Splendid Bouquet

This card uses the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Splendid Bouquet. I used ink sprays for the background and mixed some Altenew purple inks with a light layer of Altenew redwood ink on the florals. I heat embossed the sentiment with Altenew Rose Gold EP and added a few black glitter cardstock strips along with some gold paint splatter!

This card is one of my favourites! I used peach inks on the CYLPK: Spendid Bouquet and coloured n the whit edge after die-cutting to match the background cardstock. I added white ink platter and heat embossed the sentiment on vellum for a softer look.

Build-A-Garden: Elegant Tulips

This card uses the Build-A-Garden: Elegant Tulips set and the stencils include a lattice stencil, which I used on the background with shimmer embossing paste. Then I added the coloured strips to match the colours used in the stamped image to tie everything together. 

Craft -A-Flower: April Kiss Camellia

This card uses the CAF: April Kiss Camellia set. I was taking a break from die-cutting sets for a while but after seeing the keyhole feature Altenew added to these sets, I had to give it a try and I'm amazed!! I love how easy it is to match everything up and know exactly where each die-cut goes. So I made these Camellias blue and the background gold and added a mix of white and gold splatter. The glitter piece was cut from the Rustic Rose set and I finished this one off with blue twine and glitter embellishments.

Lovely Floral Hat & Natural Wicker Pattern Embossing Folder

For this card I decided to use a mix of pink cardstocks to create a tone-on-tone look. I cut out the Lovely Floral Hat set and made the florals and sprigs white and gold to break up the pink a bit. Then I used the Natural Wicker Pattern embossing folder in the background and lightly swiped some cloudy white pigment ink to help the embossing stand out more. And the sentiment is frm the Splendid Bouquet CYL project kit.

And that's my bit of inspiration for the Altenew's March 2024 Release! I hope you were inspired and there's a list of supplies/bundles at the end of this post for your shopping pleasure! I will be back again in March sharing more Altenew inspo!
