Stunning use of a flower stamp! Beautiful.

[@shelleywhitehead7059]

Absolutely stunning cards Jenny. Just striking colours. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Altenew]

Glad you like them! Thank you, Shelley! ❤️

[@shayneward4311]

I just love the ink blending technique and the colours chosen. The embossed stamped image is stunning, even when in outline mode, no need to colour when the image has such beautiful detail. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@marcydobbs1653]

Rewatched because I tried your technique a year ago and wanted to refresh my memory. The cards are still just as beautiful as I remembered. Thank you again.

[@susanarmstrong6828]

[@dogmomma4019]

Love these, especially the teal card! Teal, pretty much in all hues, is hands down my absolute favorite color. I love pairing teal with browns in my own creations. My bedroom is even done in teal and brown. I would have never even thought of rose gold, emerald and black paired w a deep, rich teal. It is absolutely beautiful!

[@jenniferbarela8793]

That's great to hear! ❤️ If you plan on sharing your project on social media, Please tag us using #Altenew and also tag Jenny, we'd love to see your projects! ❤️

[@JennyColacicco]

Brilliant! Yes please do share! 👆🏻

[@susanrodesky9872]

This technique is so lovely! Thank you so much for sharing. I am just curious...why didn't you just create the beautiful background BEFORE stamping and heat embossing the floral outlines?

[@gloria5289]

So amazing! Please provide the cardstock colors used and links so I can try to create something similar.

[@ritabrandow1318]

Your website came on my KZbin channel. I really like your card ideals and I subscribed to your channel. From First time Watcher. Question how would you use die-cuts on this

[@Altenew]

Thank you for watching Rita! ❤️

[@JennyColacicco]

Hi Rita - you could easily use a similar technique for die cuts - die cut out the shape (or heat emboss the image and die cut out) on colored cardstock then go around the edges with the inks like in the vid - it would look great mounted on a white panel! Thanks for watching !!

[@ritabrandow1318]

@@JennyColacicco thank you I will try it

[@marilynbird2674]

What went wrong? I got embossing glitter in my ink.

[@JennyColacicco]

HI Marilyn, sometimes embossing glitter can be a little tricky with emboss resist unless you're very gentle with the ink blender. For this technique I typically use smooth /metallics embossing powder.

[@lindawalker2497]

Beautiful cards.
