Altenew August Challenge

 Hello and Happy Weekend my Friends!

There's a lot going on here in the Akron-Canton area this weekend.  If you're a football fan you'll know what I'm talking about since it is the Hall of Fame Weekend with lots of famous football people in the area!  It actually started Thursday night with the Hall of Fame football game which kicks off the football season.  I watch football but not a 'gun-ho' football advocate so this busy football weekend just means there are a LOT MORE PEOPLE in the area so I think I'll just hang on in the cave and try to get caught up on cards.

So, with that being said, I spotted the colors requested over on the August Altenew Inspiration Challenge

 

 and just had to play along.  I'm sure I'll play more then once through out the month but this is a start.

 

 I decided on using their Build-a-Garden Rosa Gallica stamp set for today's creation.

 I have used Tombow markers for the coloring today.  Some was straight coloring and other parts were water colored using the Tombow markers.  For the side panel I simply took a scrap of white card stock then colored it using the appropriate Tombow marker color to get the contrast I was looking for with my lighter colored flowers.

 As you can see, I've chosen to use the larger flower stamp for my A6 card.  The most difficult part of creating this card was choosing from the variety of sentiments offered!  But then I decided to keep it a bit generic yet could be used as a Birthday card also.

If you don't have any of the Altenew products, you owe it to yourself to check 'em out.  They have such fabulous bundles of Stamps, Dies & Stencils that creating is endless using the same set.
