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!!

When life hand you lemons…fingerpaint! It’s a totally wonderful project and the colors are just dreamy! (Amazing what you can do with a cast, isn’t it?! The first time I ever cracked an egg with one hand, it was my non-dominant hand and I didn’t even think about it–just picked up the egg and cracked it! Hope you heal up fast. And thank you for this lovely example of what these dies can do!
Gorgeous! I love this. Sadly, this die is already sold out, so I will have to wait;)
