Bumbleberry Blog — Altenew dies

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Today I'm showing you an elegant colour scheme for card making, and although it uses grey ink, this helps elevate the card along with the gold and navy colours. You can easily adapt this card design, but I like to keep elegant cards simple with only a few cohesive colours and a metallic embossing powder in there to add a touch of glamour.  Written and photos Elegance with simple colours:  Start off by heat embossing the Altenew Cartoon Tulips in embossing ink and heat set with gold...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. At times it can be hard to colour a realistic white looking flower - well for me it is and I don't have the patient to sit there colouring them in.
