Happy Monday! What better way to start a brand new week than celebrating a brand-new release? Altenew just released 15 dies, 12 amazing new inks, and 36 reinkers!! (can I get a woo hoo??) So, we are celebrating the release with some great project inspirations and giveaways!
I wanted to share something really simple and easy way for you to enjoy these new colors for your projects. A monochromatic look is clean and simple, yet it has some fun effects to it. So, I wanted to bring that look to the projects for today.
It is a bit hard to see in this photo, but behind the vellum piece is a monochromatic background with 2 color shades: I used the Puffy Heart ink pad for the outline image and the Rose Quartz ink pad for the partial image from the Remember This Stamp Set.
Curious to see how you can create this card? Check out my brand-new video tutorial above or here.
I created another card using the same technique, but with different color shades this time. I used the Volcano Lake ink pad and the Mountain Mist ink pad for this. Teal color shades bring a whole different look on these florals!
You guessed it right, these are the brand-new colors from today’s release. In fact, below you can check out the whole 12 colors. Aren’t these just lovely?
I certainly hope you enjoyed spending some time with me here today. Make sure to scroll down to see a full hop list along with fun giveaways!
