Hello everyone and welcome to the Altenew January 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 10 new fabulous stamp sets being released today and they are now available for purchase at the Altenew online store.

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!

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

Now onto my projects. My first card features the Beautiful Lady set. I wanted to keep it monochromatic so I stamped flowers in black and coloured them very lightly.

For my next project I used beautiful flowers from the Oriental Orchid set to create simple place cards. First I created blank cards from cut and folded white cardstock. I painted them with a gold glitter and added names created with a label maker. Then I stamped flowers in black, fussy cut them and attached them to my place cards.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Aimes 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!
