Altenew 6th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway

Hellooooo!!!

You must be here from the AH-mazing Jennifer Mcguire's blog. 

Welcome to Altenew's 6th Anniversary Hop Day 1! WOOT! I am SO excited. 

I was asked to join Altenew in January 2017. I remember I read May's message several times and I was like "What? NO WAY! ME? I don't even know how to talk!" HA! look at me now, making videos and chatting away! I still struggle, but oh how far I have come!

I LOVE THIS COMPANY and everything it makes! I know you love Altenew too!

Here is what I made to celebrate Altenew turning SIX!

Blinding right? LOL 

I wanted to make something gold, sparkly and of course colourful!

I used Altenew Watercolour Brush Markers to colour the images. I actually have a snippet of how I coloured these images in the video I shared a few days ago. You can check it out HERE.

Whenever I colour images this way, I colour a ton of them because the colouring process is SO EASY and FAST! It's the drying time that takes a while. I let mine dry overnight. I am glad I made these when I was filming, I whipped up this fantastic card in no time.

Onto the fun stuff now!

Altenew March 2020 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello!

You must be here from Reiko Tsuchida's blog.

Welcome to Altenew March 2020 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop.

I have one card to share today and I love how it turned out.

I stamped the images from the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set onto watercolor paper in Antique Linen distress ink. Next, I used Artists' Watercolours to color the images.

You will find the coordinating dies to the stamp set HERE.

For my card front, I used Pale Gray Cardstock. I used Forest Glades Metallic Ink Spray to add splatters to the background along with some black splatters from the 36 Pan Watercolor Set.

My flowers have such a tropical feel to it! 

I hope you like the card.

I didnt have the stamp set so I only used the die set and die-cut a gold glitter cardstock twice. I adhered these feathers a few times on layers of die cuts to make them sturdy and then adhered them onto the card front.
