For my today's card I couldn't resist playing with some floral images to create a lovely stamped background, perfect for colouring. I’ve combined images from Garden Treasure and Focus On You sets and stamped them with Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink. Then I used the Altenew Artist Markers to do a simple colouring.

To finish it, I used the Super Script Stamp Set and coordinating dies to stamp and die-cut my sentiment.

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

Here is the full line up for the blog hop today.

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by Thursday, July 12th for a chance to win. 6 winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 7/15/2018.

Today I've created two simple cards to share with you. For my first card, I used the Mega Hydrangea Stencil to create a background for the embellishments. I decided to go for a bright yellow and pink colour combo and applied Altenew inks (Buttercream, Mango Smoothie, Warm Sunshine, Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy and Coral Berry) with sponge daubers. Then I added some pink and yellow splashes of paint to the background.

Next, I used a washi tape and leaves die cut from the Fantasy Floral 3d Die Set. To finish the card I added my sentiment. I used a negative die cut panel I had sitting on my desk (it was created with the Fine Alphabet Die Set) and I added the “you” die cut from the Flower Arrangement Die Set on top.

For my second card I used another beautiful stencil called Feeling Dotty and I have lightly sponged it over with Frayed Leaf ink.

To finish the card, I again used die cuts from the Fantasy Floral 3d Die Set and a negative die cut panel from my leftovers stash.

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

Thanks for stopping by today!
