Altenew March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop #2 + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hello dear friends, 

A warm welcome to my blog. I am so thrilled to be a part of Altenew's amazing New release of March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop #2 and inspire you with ideas to use this beautiful release for your projects. I am second on the stop, so let's get started :)

Spring has Sprung and so have the gorgeous florals in this release - check out this Marvelous Monthly Series Bundle - March 2023! I am sure you are already in love with this release as much as I am and I have had soo much fun making these cards for you, hope you like them.

Craft-A-Flower: Southern Magnolia

Starting with my ever favourite part of the release the Craft-A-Flower: Southern Magnolia! The big floral dies are so easy and quick to assemble and in my project I went ahead and kept the flowers white as the beautiful majestic flowers are in real. 

I used Deep Iris to blend in the inner sides of the floral petals and used Emerald cardstock from Sea shore gradient cardstocks for the leaves. 

Paint-A-Flower: Magnolia Grandiflora

For my card I did no- line coloring with this month's beautiful Paint-A-Flower: Magnolia Grandiflora Outline Stamp Set. I used Artist's Watercolor 24 Pan set to color the images.

 Build-A-Garden: My Hugging Dancing Poppies

I am in love with these beautiful Poppies from Build-A-Garden: Dancing Poppies. Love the ease of stenciling on them. I stamped the flowers and heat embossed them and made some Red poppies by blending Red Cosmos inks. I used Dotted Starburst cover die for the marroon panel and arranged the flowers to look like they were hugging.

Mini Delight: Café Au Lait Dahlia

I love when a Mini delight gives major happiness :D I used the sweet Mini Delight: Café Au Lait Dahlia Stamp & Die Set for this card. Which I simple just stamped with two different pinks, the darker in the centre and around that a lighter color (Rubbelite and Pinkalicious). I die cut the flowers and on a white cardstock stamped my leaf arranging it in a way that when I foam mount my flowers, they look cohesive.

Craft Your Life Project Kit: Delicate Garden 

No line Coloring - Delicate Garden

For my first card with Craft Your Life Project Kit: Delicate Garden , I first die cut the big floral image from a white cardstock and then placed it in the embossing folder to dry emboss it. Then with stencils I colored the floral arrangement. I used a navy cardstock and used one of the dies from the Mix and Match dies - for a tone on tone background.

Delicate Garden on a Trellis

For this card I used Gold embossing powder to stamp all my three floral images and colored them by blending various inks. I used Simple Shapes cover die to cut out a white on white background that would resemble trellis. Also I added some Cherry blossom enamel dots to embelish the card.

Delicate RAINBOW Garden

For my card I am using the Embossing folder and Stencils. I have a Video tutorial to show you how I made this card.
