Altenew Blog Hop - September

                           
 The design team at Seize the Birthday is joining the Altenew Ulitmate Challenge Blog Hop.   What a surprise and what an honor.  Please go over and check out the prizes up for grabs.   I have recently been using Altenew stamps and have six in my collection.  They are so fresh and I love the look. I have also enjoyed taking two classes recently offered by The Altenew Academy.

Take a look at my card. I used my Zig Clean Water Color Markers on water color paper.

This card uses the Persian Motifs stamp and die from Altenew.
After randomly stamping the flower on my background, I went in with a water brush to blend it out.  I used Lt Blue and Pale Green.  The white detailed border is from Frantic Stamper called Fancy Frames #1.
Then I die cut one extra flower and attached it with a tag from Stitched Main St tags, from  Poppy Stamps, and a bit of silver twine. There is a layer of Jelly Bean Green and a base of Ocean Mist Card stock from Gina K Designs.

Thanks so much for stopping by as part of this hop.  Please take a look at what my team mates have done at Seize The Birthday.

  1. Beautiful. I am a big fan of blue and green together and you have mixed them beautifully. The frame around the background is perfect for making a place for the sentiment and focal flower. I really like how you water colored around the sentiment too. Fabulous.
