Hello, I have a lovely colour combination for you today to use in your card and papercraft projects. I have created a lovely soft and sophisticated ‘With love’ card using Altenew stamp and dies, but you could use this colour scheme for a range of occasions. The bold navy contrasts lovely with the white peeping through the embossed stamping and the metallic copper and blush tones add a softness to the card. I created this card after taking the Altenew ‘Let It Shine’ class on the Altenew Academy site for my ACEP. This was a great class showing a variety of ways for adding shine to your cards and papercraft projects. I used three techniques in this card today. Of course, my favourite way to add shine is with metallic embossing powder – I love the look and it adds just a lovely touch to your cards elevating your work.

Before we add any shine to the card, you need to create the bold background for the elements to sit on. This is very easy to do. Use a piece of scrap paper to mask over the lower third of your card panel and using a blending tool, applyChipped Saphire Distress oxide, cover the top two-thirds of the card panel in ink. Make sure you get good bold solid coverage of ink.
Place your card panel into your MISTI and position the Altenew Magnolia heart overlapping the white and navy border. Stamp this in clear embossing ink, moving you panel along to stamp another heart repeatedly in a row.
Next, cover with metallic embossing powder and heat set this. Once cooled, position the card panel back into your MISTI upside down. This will allow you room to position the heart upside down in between the row of hearts you have just stamped with it hanging off your card panel. Repeat stamping these hearts and cover with embossing powder before heat setting.
