Storybook Fantasy Collection

I am excited to be a part of this collection. I am sensing a designer evolution within the Altenew illustrations and it makes future releases enticing. The images within the Storybook Fantasy Collection depict fairytales and whimsical feelings. For this very simple card, I was inspired by ‘drop caps’ or that very pretty first letter in older texts. I used a cover die for the ornate background. Then I overlaid the stack of books image from Books Are Magic Stamp Set.

Again, following a fairytale book and whimsical feeling I made this card using Fairy Tale Florals. I was trying to evoke the feeling of an old text in this design–sort of like the feeling of a complete Britannica set on a shelf. I added gold dot details to the petals of the blooms. Then I used Apothecary Labels Stamp Set for the sentiment label.

To stray away from books, I thought of a ‘fairytale wedding’ for this next design. I have very little experience with embossing folders. After playing around with the embossing folders in this release I feel like I have been REALLY missing out on quick and beautifully textured card ideas. I used the Ranunculus Bouquet 3D Embossing Folder and Handwritten Hello Die Set for this easy card set in a fairytale wedding design.

I wanted to see if I could cut apart an embossed panel and create my own floral arrangement. *Spoiler Alert* the answer is ABSOLUTELY. I used the 3D embossing folder as a sort of stamp and added depth to the center of petals with dye inks. Then I cut apart the petals and foliage from the Majestic Bloom 3D Embossing Folder and arranged them on my card front.
