ALTENEW February 2015 Blog Hop



  Welcome to Altenew's first 2015 Release Blog Hop!

You should have arrived here from the amazing Kristina Werner's blog. If not,
start here at the beginning and be sure to leave comments along the way to win prizes!

Not yet a year old, this company was launched in April 2014, and has quickly gained
recognition among paper crafters. All stamps are available for purchase in the Altenew store
and for pre-order at Simon Says Stamp.

  I was thrilled with the invitation to join the hop with such a stellar line up! Before I tell you
about the awesome prizes, let me share my cards with you.

 The first uses To the Moon, a unique set with lunar images and an assortment
of coordinating sentiments.


After white embossing the moon and sentiment, I ink distressed over it with
three different Distress inks. I spattered the surface with water and white ink
and finished off the card with some glittery stars.
The next two cards use a flower from Floral Motifs, colored in two different ways.


 For this card, I gold embossed the flower and colored it in with Copics.
I added some watercolored squiggles on the side and finished off with a sentiment
from Birthday Greetings. Isn't that a gorgeous font?


  My last card is an homage to Tasnim and her "no line" watercoloring that she shares
here on You Tube. Please don't stare too closely as I'm still a novice when it comes
to the technique and out of the dozen that I tried, this one looked the best.
The sentiment is also from Birthday Greetings.

Now about those prizes...
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away five stamp sets of choice to 
three lucky winners! The winners will be chosen from comments left on the Altenew blog.

And there's more! I will choose a winner from comments left on this post
and the prize will be two stamp sets of your choice! How awesome is that?

You have until Friday, February 20th, at 11:59pm EST to leave your comments.
You may enter up to two comments:
1. Comment on the project or the stamps.
2. "Like" Altenew on Facebook and let us know.

 The winner will be announced on Saturday, February 21st at 9:00am EST.
Now hop over to Amy's fab blog to see her projects and don't forget to leave comments!
Happy Hopping and Good Luck!

CAS(E) this Sketch 84


Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 84 brought to you by Chrissy.


And here's my take on it.


I finally inked up Altenew's Painted Flowers. It's such a cool "building" set and Tasnim 
has a wonderful video on how to stamp the different layers. But I'm impatient
so I simply stamped the outline of each flower and leaf and did some quick watercoloring. 
Quick and easy peasy.

The dymo label sentiment is also from Altenew, stamped in Delicata Gold.
I added some filler dots with a couple of green Copic markers.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how my teammies interpreted the sketch
and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, July 17th.

Thanks for stopping by!
