I fell in love with the Altenew stamps at first sight😍. The stamps are so different and versatile . We can achieve various looks and styles with just one stamp. For today's post I have picked one of the most popular stamp sets called the "Persian motifs" and it's coordinating die set . Having the die set makes cutting the shapes hassle free but I must mention that the images can be easily fussy cut too.
The techniques are very popular and are created by few of my favorite card makers. I have attempted to take inspiration for them and here is my version ...
I have created mini video tutorials for each of the techniques I have used , I have also uploaded them on the crafterscornerscreen youtube channel .
Hope u like the post for today and give these cool techniques a try.

Card #1 White on Kraft
I stamped and Heat embossed the flowers and leaves at the top left corner of the Kraft card stock. I used the super fine detail white embossing power to emboss my images and sentiment.
Coloured the flowers and leaves by using water soluble pencil colours and few distress makers.

Card #2 Alcohol markers
I created a background paper by randomly stamping the flowers on a light brown paper. Stamped the two flowers with memento tuxedo ink which is used when we wish to use copic markers .

I used two shades of green copics and stampin' blendability to colour all the images .
I then used the die set to cut the images and sticked them over a tag with some foam tape.

Card #3 Water colouring
This is the most exotic of the cards and I love love love water colouring specially the no line look. All u need to do is stamp the images with a light archival ink and then put in all your efforts to achieve the best watercolour results. I used the new distress ink mermaid lagoon and black soot to make this gorgeous card.

Card #4 Delicate Vellum
I wanted a bright background for these delicate vellum flowers to pop. I sprayed few colours on a water coloured paper and blended it with water. Once the background was dry I flicked few water droplets to get the bleached/ bokeh effect. Then I sticked the flowers with some ranger Matt medium. Embossed a sentiment and the card was ready.
Distress sprays
Card# 5 Gold glass painting
For the final card I embossed the flowers in vellum with gold embossing powder and coloured with the same shades of alcohol markers from the reverse side of the stamped image. This gives the card a glass painted look and it's so gorgeous in reality. I also die cut the word "hello" and embossed it with the same gold powder.
That's it for today !!
