Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Clematis & Artist Alcohol Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi guys!

I'm excited to welcome you to my stop on the Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Clematis & Alcohol Markers Release blog hop!

You should've arrived here from Lilith Eeckels' blog. If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, head over to the Altenew blog.

GIVEAWAY:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to two lucky winners and a $20 gift certificate to five winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and each designer’s blog hop post by 02/28/2021 for a better chance to win. Altenew will draw the seven random winners, from blog hop comments, and announce them on the Altenew Winners Page on 03/02/2021.

MY CARD:

When Altenew sent me their new Artist Markers, I screamed with delight when I saw the colors! These two sets of markers are so gorgeous! They're perfect for coloring flowers and you all know how much I love doing that! I mean, look at these colors! So yummy!

So, I decided to do something I rarely do. Normally I would do my coloring on white card stock but I wanted to try coloring on kraft card stock instead. I don't have the new Paint-A-Flower Clematis, so I pulled out one of my favorite Altenew stamp sets - the Statement Flowers set.

Using kraft colored card stock was out of my comfort zone but I really like the way this turned out, and the new Artist Markers worked beautifully on it! I'm very much looking forward to using them again on white card stock!

Next up is Tenia Nelson!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I've given you a bit of inspiration on using these beautiful markers!

Enjoy the rest of the hop.

MY CARDS:

For my first two cards, I used the Radiating Hearts Cling Stamp. It's a beautiful stamp that could be used in so many different ways. I white embossed it on the first card and used gold embossing on the second.

This next one is so fun! The Leprechaun Die Set is adorable!

And now for a slimline card - yay! Love creating these! The stamp set is adorable and is called, Better Together Slimline Friends. I used Copics to color all these cuties. I also used the hearts stencil from the Simple Duo Stencil Set.

Next up is the Sweet Friend Stamp Set. You know I love flowers and this set is beautiful!

On this last card I used the fabulous, Thank You For Being a Friend Die. I love how large it is! I adhered it to a simple, watercolor background and love how it looks!

Okay, that's it from me. Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget, this is day 1 of a 2-day blog hop, so be sure to stop by Simon's blog again tomorrow!

Enjoy the rest of the hop!
