Altenew 2018 Year In Review Challenge

Here is Altenew 2018 year in review challenge, below are the challenge photos:

I choose May 2018 as my inspiration challenge. I learned Jennifer McGuire's Distress Ink Monoprint Technique and made two cards to attend this challenge. Below are the cards I made:

The first card was a darker color background version. I applied different colors of Distress inks on the white cardstock background. Then I clear embossed flowers (from Altenew Frosted Garden stamp set) on the color background. Using paper towel to wipe off the excess inks on top of the flowers. I spritz water on the background and press another white cardstock on top, then run both of them through the die cut machine. It created two background - one dark color and one light color. I used the Joseph's coat technique on the dark color background - applied black distress ink around the flowers. Finish the first card by die cutting "happy" several times to make it dimensional and stamping "birthday" as a birthday card. Below is another look of the card:

The second I used the light color background as the card base - see below:

I die cut "happy" with blue glitter cardstock and stack them with white cardstock. I stamped "everything" on the vellum and heat embossed it. Finish the card by dropping some Nuvo jewel drops on the cardstock. Below is another look of the card:
