Altenew January 2018 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway
Welcome everyone!! If you have come from Reiko Tsuchida‘s blog, you’re in the right place! It’s Shari carroll here to give you some inspiration using the new Altenew Peony Dream and Watercolor Stripes Cover dies.
I’ve been experimenting with ways of adding color to my cards and have found a really easy technique of fingerprinting with Dina Wakley Acrylic paints.
I die cut my pieces, added color with paints and stacked them back together with a bit of foam tape for dimension. The colors are fresh and tropical which warms me up in the middle of winter.
I’ve filmed a video showing the process of creating this card. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
Prizes Prizes Prizes!!

My goodness Shari…that card is stunning. What beautiful colours you have used…so soft and ethereal. Love it.
This card is absolutely beautiful. The colors are stunning with these dies. Thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful! I love the colors and the background die that slightly hides some of the color on the background.
A little bit of me wants to still get inky with die cuts. What a great way to do it with finger-painting and the utility of creating the background by cleaning off your finger is pretty clever. Great Die and Great Technique.
Beautiful use of dies and coloring. A beautiful technique to try.
WOW! Gorgeous showcase of the amazing 3D peony die…swooning! Thank you for the video!

WOW! That card is gorgeous! I love the way the colors accent those flowers and leaves. I want to try some of those paints and do a little finger painting, too.
The flower layers are wonderful & the colors have a wonderful artsy look.
