Altenew – August 2020 Summer Nights Release

August 11, 2020

Hey everyone.  Altenew – August 2020 Summer Nights Release is here.  I’m happy to be hopping as a guest designer today.  All products are live and ready for your carts.

 

Altenew 2020 Summer Nights Release

My card today is featuring the new Beauty Within from the August 2020 Summer Nights release.  This stamp set is absolutely gorgeous! I paired it with the newly released With Deepest Sympathy stamp set.  For my medium I choose to watercolor the image with Altenew inks and my Karin brush markers.

Altenew - August 2020 Summer Nights ReleaseThe background for the card was created using the Doodled Dots Cover plate.  I kept my palette all white which allowed the florals to be the main focus.  Here are some close up shots of the card. For some added depth, I sponged on some buttercup ink onto the background to add a highlight behind the flowers.

 

 

Prizes:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog by 8/17/2020 for a chance to win. We’ll also draw a winner to receive a $20 gift certificate from the comments left on each designer’s blog on the blog hop list below.  All winners will be announced on the Altenew Winners Page on 08/20/2020.
