Altenew 9th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway (over $2,200 in Total Prizes)

 Hey Crafty Friends

Congratulations to the team at Altenew on their 9th Anniversary, we are very excited to be part of their celebration with their Day 1 Blog Hop - https://wp.me/p6Dps1-i2o

In our Blog Hop post, we would like to feature the Bountiful Bouquet stamp and die set and have made 3 cards using it.

In our cards, I stamped the outline image using an Obsidian Black ink pad and stamped the layers of the Roses with Altenew's ink pads - Pink Pearl, Rouge, Coral Bliss and Velvet.  The Leaves were stamped with Marshland and Sea Forest.  The centre of the flower was stamped with Chamomile and Marigold.  I then die cut the Roses with the matching die.  

Each of the cards have a Bazzill Creampuff base and then a layer of Guacamole.  On card, I blended Coral Bliss and Velvet over it and then stamped the small bouquet from Beautiful Day all over it with the Velvet ink pad.  Just this slight image in the background creates a beautiful interest detail.

Thank You For Your Continuous Support

On this card, I added the flowers to the top and base of the card with mounting tape.  On a thin strip of Creampuff card, I stamped 'Thank you for your continuous support' from Altenew's Handpicked Bouquet stamp set and embossed it with Gold Pearl embossing powder.  I then added this to the centre of the card with a backing of Guacamole card.

You Make Life Beautiful

I started by stamping on Creampuff card 'Thanks from Altenew's Season Blooms stamp set and 'You Make Life Beautiful' from Bountiful Bouquet and then embossed the image with Gold Pearl Embossing Powder.  'Thanks' is die cut with the matching die set and cut 'Beautiful' to a thin strip.  Adhere this to the top right of the card and added the Roses with mounting tape.

You Are Braver

Our last card involves 3 sets of Roses which we adhered to card alternating the Roses and folded the edges over the back.  

We stamped the words from Seasonal Blooms and embossed with Gold Pearl embossing powder.  I added this to the centre of the card with mounting tape with layers of Guacamole, Creampuff and an additional card that I blended Velvet over.
