As a crafty community, there is a lot of inspiration out there for us to draw on. I love seeing other cardmakers work and this first card was inspired by Jenny from JCCards.com. Jenny has created some beautiful cards with bright pops of colour and I thought that the beautiful new Enchanting Beauty stamp was a perfect opportunity to create with a bold colour. In comparison, my second card is the opposite with a soft serene colour.

Creating with bold a colour: Enchanting Beauty
The large stamp from the Enchanting Beauty stamp set was heat embossed on to Azalea cardstock in gold embossing powder. As well as heating embossing one of the longer leave stems, these were then cut out using the coordinating dies.
To create the background, ink blend Pucker -up and Peppermint Scrub ink from one corner onto an Azalea cardstock panel. Next, overlay the Halftone stencil at a diagonal from the same corner and spray Antique Gold ink spray through this.
Once the background is dry, foam mount the heat embossed elements onto the panel. Heat emboss a sentiment from the stamp set onto white card. This will pop against the bold colour of pink. Finish with a few gold sequins.
Creating a soft serene card: Sweet Ginkgo
This card uses a very soft colour palette. First, use the Sweet Ginkgo 2-in-1 colouring stencil to blend Palm Mauve from the Sugarplums ink set onto a white card panel. Blend a variation of the foliage, overlapping.
Next stamp the matching foliage from the Sweet Ginkgo stamp set over the ink blending in Pale Mauve once more. This will create a soft serene background. On a separate panel, stamp the online images in Grape Agate from the same set, and then stamp the full stamp layer in Amethyst.
Use the coordinating dies to cut the images out and then foam mount these onto the front of the panel. Heat emboss a sentiment onto a strip of black card and add to the card at the bottom of the foliage. Finish with a scattering of clear drops.

Great color and background combinaitons.
The BOLD color look is so pretty. I would like to try that technique. GORGEOUS
Amazing cards Verity, I love the bold color paired with the shiny embossing powder of the first card and the subtle layer on the second one, both so different but very pretty! Thanks for the inspiration!
I like the bright card. Beautiful!
Beautiful cards ideas. Sometimes you need a bold card and sometimes one that is more subtle.
very nice
Both the cards are beautiful. I am a bit more partial to the second card. I love the soft colors and the elegant design.
Pinned. I like the softer colored card in this pair. The ginkgo stamps are surprising me. At first glance in the packaging they seemed a bit plain to me, but they really are beautiful when stamped.
Love the cards and the video you’ve shared on the process. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! So beautiful!!
STUNNING! I LOVE the pink and gold combo!
Gorgeous cards
I enjoyed your video and the commentary on your process. I kept thinking this floral stamp looks like seaweed and now have an idea for using it in an underwater themed card.
Such beautiful cards!
Two wonderful ideas for cards! Thanks for sharing!
I love the bold color card!!
I love the contrast between the two! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful use of the ginko. I especially love the pink/gold combo
Lovely cards!
What a wonderful release. It is always so exciting to see!
Gorgeous projects!
Both cards are beautiful and stunning. I loved them.
FAB artwork. Thanks for sharing your talents during the Altenew new release blog hop. I really enjoy your art.
Beautiful! I love pinning your cards and ALL of the Altenew blog hop cards! Your pink card is so pretty, and the Ginko card is so soothing and perfect for a sympathy card. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the bold look with the gold embossing powdered florals, and the gold spray with the stencil ❤️❤️❤️
lovely colours and cards!
Your cards are so pretty! I love that shade of pink and the gold embossing is amazing!
Very pretty cards. I do shy away from using a lot of bright color but I love what you did with the bright pink. Thanks for the video and I will have to try your technique! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love the bold pink design and the gingko with shadow. Beautiful!
Beautiful cards! I especially love the first one with those scrumptious colors! The ginkgo leaves are so elegant!
Beautiful
Love the gingko leaves with the shadow.
Two beautiful cards. I love all the colors in the pink background especially.
