Welcome to the Altenew 11th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway! Get ready for some amazing prizes for this hop. I’m honored to be celebrating Altenew’s 11th anniversary. I remember when Altenew first came on the crafty scene. The thrill of seeing there products are the same thrill I feel today for them. Before I get into the giveaways, let take a look at some cards I made.
My first card I used the new Magnolia Dreams Embossing Folder and Coloring Stencil. I have to admit, this is one of my favorite embossing folder and stenciling set. It’s just so pretty. For my ink blending I used several shades of blue from the Marine Life fresh dye ink collection as well as Hunter Green from the Green Meadows Fresh Dye ink collection and the Lemonade Stand from the Citrus Punch Fresh Dye ink collection.
The sentiment is from the Stamp and Paint: One Happy Bouquet Stamp set. Oh and that gorgeous blue cardstsock peeking out from behind is Altenew Starlight cardstock. To fill in the background just a little, I made some small dots using my silver essential permanent marker from Altenew. The finish to this card were the addition of beautiful enamel dots from the Deep Blue Sea enamel dots collection.
My second car is using the beautiful Cascading Elegance stencil. This stencil is so beautiful. I used the Citrus Punch Fresh Dye inks for the ink blending and did a gradating blend with them. The sentiment on this card is from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Arched Foliage. And the beautiful brown cardstock is Milk Chocolate from Altenew. Again I did a finishing touch by adding enamel dots from the Summer Afternoon collection.
Now let’s get into the giveaway!
