Altenew Exotic Garden Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 


Good morning! I'm excited to be part of the Altenew Exotic Garden blog hop today (details below).



My cards both use the Mega Succulent 3D embossing folder, with a sentiment from the Tropical Jungle stamp set.

I used watercolour cardstock for the first one, and then blended various colours of inks over top. The detail in this folder is stunning, and I found it easy to create highlights and shadows with my small blending tools.


For the second one, I put gray ink onto the embossing folder itself before running it through my die cutting machine. I love the stone-like look of this, emphasizing every tiny detail of this gorgeous succulent.


Hop Details:

$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 05/10/2021 for a chance to win.
