Good morning Friends!
I have something a little different for you today. We (at the Sisterhood of Crafters) have been asked to join in a fun blog hop that showcases several challenge blogs out there in blogland. We are celebrating a ton of amazing challenge blogs along with Altenew on the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop! If you are here to find the current Sisterhood challenge, you can find it here but I hope you'll check out this blog hop as well. I thought you'd get a kick out of this. Just check out all the blogs that are participating:
What could be better than a blog hop celebrating all the amazing challenge blogs out there? Maybe getting to see the owners of the challenge blogs create projects using Altenew products and sharing them all for our inspiration? Be sure to check it out!!
BLOG HOP ORDER:
Color Hues the Color Challenge
My cards today used two of Altenew's fabulous stamp sets.
First up, is a card designed using their 'Beautiful Heart' set.
I don't have the die set for these stamps (YET) so did a bit of fussy cutting after stamping and coloring. The front flower is popped up with a bit of dimensional tape. A stenciled background and a few sequins and VIOLA ... my card is ready to brighten someone's day!
Here's a close up view . . .
My second card was created using the 'Sparkled' stamp set.
A very simple design but I think it 'packs a punch' with this gorgeous floral design. Once again I stamped, colored & fussy cut my main flower but this time I stamped the leaves directly onto my card front. The stem was created by simply hand drawing it with a black marker.
Since the sentiment had the word 'Sparkle' in it, I felt the flower HAD to sparkle so here a close up to show you how it does sparkle (much prettier in person).
Here are more details about the hop:
- You can get all the nitty gritty details about the blog hop on the Altenew Blog.
- The hop goes from Today (August 10) until August 31.
PRIZES: $250 in total prizes! To celebrate this fantastic blog hop, Altenew is giving away $25 gift certificates to TEN lucky winners. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments left on any of the blogs listed below and will be announced on the Altenew blog on September 5th, 2021.
I hope you'll come join in this fun blog hop!

ReplyDeleteYou went all out for this challenge and you knocked it out of the park. That second card really caught my eye! It is so different and sparkly.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are absolutely gorgeous!! Love the sparkle on the second card, so perfect for the stamp set name as it sure is 'sparkled'!! The colors are downright yummy on the first, well done my friend!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are stunning. Sure love the sparkle on the second one. It is so hard to get a good photo with shimmer and never does a card justice.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are just gorgeous with these beautiful flowers, such pretty colors. My favorite is the second, love the sparkle you have added to it!
ReplyDeletehad to stop in to say that this card is such a show stopper... The glitz is perfect and creates beautiful and elegant card.
