Hello there, today I’m featuring the new Soft Blossoms Stencil and Coordinating Soft Blossom Embossing Folder by Altenew together with the new Altenew Trailblazing mini ink cubes.
I was trying these products for the very first time and I loved them.
The ink colours are divine!!
To open the new mini ink pads I used a palette knife, they have a very strong seal but it gets easier to open the pads after using them various times.

*** These projects are easy and quick
- As you see in the videos, all you have to do is to emboss a piece of cardstock.
- Then use the layered stencils to add different ink colours over the embossed areas.
- You can blend different ink colours while using the same stencil as I did in the videos.
- I applied ink from light to dark according to the stencil number but this is optional.
- The Trialblizing mini ink cubes come in combos of 4 ink colours.
- So with stencil #1, I used the lightest ink from each set.
- With stencil #2, I used the following 2 darkest tones and so on.
- As I like to achieve contrasting compositions, I added different green inks using the leaves stencil (#4)
- Oh! do not forget to use the lightest ink you are using on each step to blend everything out and soften the colours.

Stunning choice of colors! I appreciate watching you use the stencils. Stencils challenge me!
Thank you…
Oh no!! Stencils are easy peasy. You just need to hold them down firmly and use good brushes. 🙂
