Aerial Cable Car Card in Vintage Study Colors

What a pleasure it's been to be a Guest Designer for Altenew's August 2026 release! So many fun new crafty goodies to play with! For this card, I wanted to showcase the new Vintage Study ink collection, and I thought it would be perfect with the new Mountain Peak stencil set. I love that the Mountain Peak stencil set includes a mask of the mountain to make it easy to create multiple mountains on a project.  

For the background, I trimmed a 5 by 7-inch panel using cream cardstock and then ran it through my BetterPress with Altenew's new Essential Textures: Canvas Impressions Press Plate and Rosy Terra ink. I stenciled the mountain stencil twice onto the panel. I trimmed the panel to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 inches. I stamped "life is a beautiful ride" from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Tranquil Trail set onto the panel. Then I fussy cut the mountain in the front and adhered everything down to a black A2 card base, popping up the mountain I fussy cut by using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape.

Next, I die cut, ink blended and assembled Altenew's new Aerial Cable Car Layering Die set and added a few details with a white acrylic marker from Altenew's Acrylic Marker 24-Color Set vol. 1. I added the cable car and cables to the card and tucked the cable car just slightly behind the mountain in the front. 

To complete the card, I added 3 of Altenew's Black Onyx Gem Sparkles around the sentiment.
