Hello everyone. Welcome welcome to the Altenew 7th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (over $1,400 in Total Prizes). WOW I’m so excited for Altenew and am thrilled to be participating. With so many prizes up for grab, you will definitely want to leave comments along the hop. You should have arrived here from Nicole’s blog. You will be inspired to make beautiful cards and projects after seeing all the samples on the hop.
My card today features the Our Friendship Blooms stamp set. This is one of my favorite Altenew sets. The gorgeous flower is so easy to color with the coordinating Our Friendship Blooms stencil. Using the Doodled Dots Cover Die also from Altenew was the perfect back drop for my flower. Keeping my card colorful I used Sunray, Snapdragon and Marigold inks to blend my cover panel. I also stamped the flower twice, fuzzy cutting out the mail flower, stenciling on the color and then popping it up on the flower bouquet.
Leaving the rest of the flower in black and white really allows that beautiful center flower stand out.
For the center of my flower, I used Nuvo drops in orange. Using just a simple sentiment and placing everything on a white card base, my card was complete.
