I have a stamp focus post using Altenew’s new Summer Swirls stamp set and that means I have three cards and one video to share, so let’s get to it!
My first card uses a no-line colouring technique with my Copics and the coordinating die cuts for the ice-cream images.
I stamped the sentiment with Espresso Ink using the Invisible Alpha and Thinking of You stamp sets.
My second card involved dusting off the Gansai Tambi’s for a watercolour panel background. I seriously am loving the Pure White embossing powder it doesn’t miss a beat!
I know, I know, it’s the Bold Alpha die again… but isn’t it worth it?
My last card has a video to show the process of how it came together below.
The background was stamped with the new inks (Yay!) using A Splash of Color stamp set and the sentiment is from Birthday Greetings.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
Head over to see more at the Altenew blog, hope you enjoyed seeing the Summer Swirls set in action as much as I enjoyed making these cards! Til next time, Hugs

This looks like a fun set! There’s exactly enough spaces on the ice cream truck’s awning to spell ‘ice cream’!
Scrumptious, Therese … all three … I especially love the last one with the splodge (melted ice-cream?) background behind the ice cream truck … fabulous colours … and deliciously CAS! Hugs, Anita 🙂
