For today’s blog hop I created a card using the newly released Orange Blossom Die Set. This gorgeous set allows you to build a beautiful branch with layered orange fruits and blossoms.

I started by die cutting all my elements out of white cardstock. Next I used Altenew Artist Alcohol Markers to colour them in. I used orange colours from Beach Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set K and green markers from Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E. 



To finish my card off, I added a panel of watercolour paper painted with Baby Pink from Artists' Gouache Set - Strolling Through New York. I stamped my sentiment from Elegant Sayings Stamp Set, which features versatile greetings in an elegant combination of fonts and arranged the fruity branch. 

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Emily Midgett!

Craft Your Life Project Kit updates 

Craft Your Life Project Kit will no longer be released to the public in the Altenew store, not like other subscription products. It will only be available via the Ultimate Subscription Plan or Craft Your Life Project Kit Monthly Subscription Plan.


For my today’s project I used beautiful Build-A-Garden: Rocktrumpet & Add-on Die Bundle. This stamp set features a lush arrangement of rocktrumpets with plenty of foliage. They were drawn with minimal delicate lines, just perfect for colouring. The size will allow you to create wall art or multiple cards at once! When I first received the set and saw the size of the main stamp I immediately thought of a lovely wall art and it was an easy thing to come up with.



I stamped my floral arrangement with black ink onto watercolour cardstock and used Watercolor Brush Markers - Spring Garden Set to colour in the images. Next, I used coordinating Build-A-Garden: Rocktrumpet Add-on Die Set to cut it out.




To create my background I used a piece of watercolour paper painted with Misty Teal mixed with a drop of Prussian Blue from Artists' Gouache Set - Strolling Through New York. It all looks great without a frame but it could also have one for a more finished look. 

That’s it for me! Your next stop on the hop is Emily Midgett!

Next, I used markers from Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E and Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F to colour my images in.

Not only will you get eight branches of leaves and some confetti, but you can also use the negative piece as a backdrop on your project!



I started by die cutting my pattern out of white cardstock and used blending brushes and inks to colour them in. I used green shades from Spring Bouquet Crisp Dye Ink Oval Bundle and blue from Tranquility Crisp Dye Ink Oval Bundle. I also added some black ink splatters to finish the look. Next, I used the negative piece of the pattern that was remaining as my template to place all the die cuts.

To finish my card off, I added some scraps of patterned paper (from Verdant Walk 6x6 Paper Pack) and my sentiment from Label Love Stamp Set.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is April Leithner!
