Love & Hope Mixed Media Wall Art

featuring Altenew products

Hello and Welcome back to Treasures in Letters! Today I am featuring a basically, monochromatic, wall hanging with an encouraging message of Love & Hope. It was pretty easy to make and I hope it inspires you to think of something that will be an encouragement to those around you.

The following photo shows most of the products that I used to make my project. (The frame came from a local craft store.)

Heat embossing and paint splattering.

To start, I used embossing ink and the Altenew Splatter stencil and heat embossed my frame with white Altenew embossing powder. I then splattered my frame with both white and jet black Altenew ink sprays.

I then had fun cutting out leaves the using the Altenew Leaf Mix Die Set and Essential Black & White Paper Pack. Using white cardstock, I then cut two more layers for each leaf to add bulk . I also used black cardstock to layer the leaves that had a prominent black background.

I cut four of each letter from the Altenew Caps Bold Alphabet Die Set and three layers of the heart shape, cut from Altenew Red cardstock and Altenew Festive Foliage. I put a layer of glossy accents on top of the heart die cut.

Thank you for stopping by. Be well and spread some love & hope!

Happy Valentine’s Day Cards with Spellbinders Calligraphy Hearts

Good Morning! Today I have two cards to share for Valentine’s Day. They both have the same basic layout but with a couple of slight differences.

Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plates: Calligraphy Hearts and Perfect Fit Hexagon Strips are the highlights of today’s cards. Both of them have been Glimmer Kits of the Month at Spellbinderspaperarts.com .

To deepen the color of this fuschia card stock, I used Altenew’s Purple Wine crisp dye ink and an ink blending brush to blend the ink onto the exposed areas of the fuschia card stock.
I used the pink glimmer hot foil on the hexagon strips and the deeper, magenta foil on the hearts. Black foil was used for the sentiment in both the cards.
All the hearts and hexagon shapes were foiled with deep red foil.
The center heart was glued to the vellum heart and the vellum heart was mounted to the card with foam tape to elevate it, add texture and depth.

The supplies I used in these cards include: Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plate: Calligraphy Hearts and Perfect Fit Hexagon Strips; Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil: GLF-006 (Pink) and GLF-039 (Magenta); Go Press and Foil: Deep Red Foil (mirror) and Midnight Black Foil (yellow matte finish); Altenew Red Card stock; My Favorite Things Stitched Heart STAX; Fuschia card stock; Altenew Purple Wine Crisp Dye Ink.
