Good morning! I’m so excited to be a stop on the Altenew Crafty Friends blog hop! This is such an amazing community and I am honored to be part of it! I’ve been crafting since I was a kid but blogging and crafting “publicly” since 2014! I discovered Altenew shortly after I started blogging and I fell in love with their gorgeous floral designs, layering stamps, and ink pads! You can find one of my very first Altenew cards here! 😉
For today’s card I decided to do a little no-line coloring with my luminance colored pencils! Here’s what I created!
To start I stamped the flower from Sweetest Peas with barely beige ink and colored them with luminance pencils. I used a variety of pinks for the petals and warm greys for the stem. After I finished coloring I used the coordinating dies to die-cut the image. I stamped a sentiment from the same set onto red cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then I trimmed the cardstock down to an angled label.
Next I stamped more of the flowers onto dark grey cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed them with gold tinsel embossing powder. I used a trick from Debby Hughes and splattered a little water on the panel and sprinkled the drops with the same gold tinsel embossing powder. As long as you don’t let too much time go by the embossing powder will stick to the water just the same as versamark or versafine! I love the look of that gold embossing powder on grey! I adhered the sentiment label with regular adhesive and then used foam mounting tape for the flower for a little more dimension!
And that’s it!

Such an elegant design. I love the embossing and how you angled the sentiment panel!!!
That flower really pops off the black. Wonderful colouring with pencils.
Absolutely beautiful. Love this card.
Love your no-line coloring with colored pencils. I aspire to being able to color like that. Also like the way you embossed the flower on the background instead of just stamping it with another color. Really beautiful card!
Lovely card!Thanks for the inspiration! What a wonderful blog hop to celebrate this great international crafty community!
Outstanding! I would never have guessed your flower was done with pencils. So beautiful.
Lovely card.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Love the gold embossing on the gray too. I will have to try the water to hold the embossing powder. Beautiful card.
Wonderful card. Great coloring!
I just love these stencils!

I love the gold with the gray card. Your card is very pretty.
Very pretty card. I like the black background and them the design.
Love that charcoal backround, It sets off the whole stamping in gold.
Wow! Took my breathe away – love the embossed gold background and the colored flower on top pops. The saying on the red is cherry on top. Beautiful card!
Your card is just so pretty .. I am a sucker for grey as the neutral with pops of bright color on top!
Very pretty!
What an elegant card and beautiful coloring!
This is a really lovely card, and your no-line coloring on the flower is perfect.
Very pretty with the gold embossed background.
The sweet pea stamps/dies are one of my favorites from Altenew and you have made such a beautiful card. Love your coloring.
