Altenew 9th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway (over $2,500 in Total Prizes)

ByBridget.caseydesigns

Hello everyone! Welcome to day two of this amazing celebration! Make sure you begin the hop over at the Altenew Card Blog. Before arriving at my blog, you should have been at A Cherry on Top Crafts.

This card says it all! Sending all the love to Altenew! We all have a unique story, stamp set, or way we found ourselves obsessed with this phenomenal community Altenew has created. Altenew has changed my life in so many ways. During a very dark time, when I lost my husband, Altenew was why I got out of bed some days to see friends at a virtual workshop. I have no words for how thankful, grateful, and blessed I am to be surrounded by my Altenew family and friends. Enough of the mushy stuff. Let’s get on to the card!!

This card encompasses many of my favorites. Firstly, the large floral and sentiment come from the latest Craft Your Life kit, Delicate Garden. Within this kit, you have large beautiful florals and gorgeous sentiments. I used the newest Artist Markers from Altenew, Set J: Mystic Garden, to color my floral. Having a set of markers with Martian Terrain made my crafty dreams come true!! I used each of the color families on this card. Additionally, I added Buttercream, Vanilla Cream, and Warm Sunshine for the flower centers. I added leaves from the new Leaf Essentials die set to finish the arrangement. I absolutely adore these small die sets that pack a crafty punch at a lower price point. I tried adding the leaves as plain white cardstock, but they were too white. Coloring the leaves with my Natures Wonders Artist Markers was just the touch. When placing the leaves, I trimmed some to create my own leaf clusters around the floral.
