So now, onto my card! For today's Blog Hop I created a simple, one layer card using Painted Flowers set from Altenew very first release! Fabulous layering flowers stamps from Altenew are my favourite and this set is no exception!

I stamped the outline images in black and then used Altenew inks to stamp the layers. Evergreen and Forest Glades for leaves and Lavender Fields along with Midnight Violet for my flowers. I also added some black splatters for a bit more interest. The sentiment is from Sohcahtoa set.

That's it for me. Your next stop on the hop is the amazing Melania Deasy!

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Altenew March Release Blog Hop

EDIT: This giveaway is now closed and you can find the winner HERE! 

Hello everyone and welcome to the Altenew March Release Blog Hop! If you came here from Svitlana's blog, then you are on the right track. Otherwise, go back to Altenew blog and start from there, as you won't want to miss anything!

There are lots of fabulous products being released today! Stamps, dies, papers, inks and a set of acrylic blocks, and they are now available for purchase at the Altenew online store.

To celebrate this release, Altenew will draw three lucky winners who will each receive a $50 gift certificate to their online store. Please leave a comment on the Altenew blog for a chance to win! You have until Friday March 18th to leave your comments.

In addition, one winner will be chosen from the comments left on this blog post and will receive a $30 gift certificate!

To celebrate today's release, I've created two cards to share with you. For my first card, I stamped images from "Daisy" stamp set and used three shades of the Altenew green inks. Then I stamped leaves onto white scrap cardstock and fussy cut them out. I attached them to my card and popped them out for some dimension.

The sentiment id from "Thinking of you" stamp set.

I’m so excited for new coordinating dies for older sets! For my second card I used “Beautiful Day” coordinating dies.

For this card I also used a new stamp called “Snowing”. It’s a great background stamp but I decided to use it in a little different manner. I stamped it in black to mimic ink splatters.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is my friend Amy and I can't wait to see what she came up with today!

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Now onto my projects. Today I’ve got two similar cards but I have created them using different techniques. For my first card, I stamped images from the “Way too sweet” set in brown then I used markers to colour them in.

For my second card I used a light brow ink to stamp the background and watercolours to colour my images and to add some ink splashes.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Amy and I can't wait to see what she came up with today!
