Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop

I'm so excited to share the news that AAA Cards, the challenge blog that I'm admin for, has been invited to take part in the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop.

Look at all the wonderful challenges that are taking part.

$250 in total prizes! To celebrate this fantastic blog hop, Altenew is giving away $25 gift certificates to TEN lucky winners. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments left on any of the blogs listed on the AAA Cards blog and will be announced on the Altenew blog on September 5th, 2021.

Also five cards selected from the link up will be featured on the Altenew blog on September 5th 2021. Link up your cards at the Altenew Blog Hop page HERE.

As part of this celebration of challenge blogs I was gifted two gorgeous stamp sets from Altenew. Here's what i creatd with them:

I chose my favourite colours for this first card and used both stamps sets - Wildflower Garden & Halftone Happy.

I just adore the simplicity of these florals!

Supplies:

Stamps: Altenew, Wildflower Garden, Halftone Happy

Inks: Memento, pear tart, tuxedo black; Kaleidacolor, berry blaze

My second card also uses both stamp sets, but I went a little out of my comfort zone with the colours and kept it even more CAS to compensate.

I inked up the flower in yellow first then went back in round the edges with the red.

Supplies:

Stamps: Altenew, Wildflower Garden, Halftone Happy

Inks: Memento, bamboo leaves, dandelion, love letter, tuxedo black

Some of the other AAA Cards DT have also joined in with the hop. Go check out all their cards and find out how to win the prizes on the AAA Cards blog - HERE.

Thanks for looking and good luck with winning a prize.

Stay safe and keep crafting!

Today I'm playing along with the Inspired by Words challenge at Time Out.

As well as being inspired by the word my card was also inspired by my AAA Cards teammie Ishani. I couldn't stop looking at her card - HERE - and somehow that Altenew stamp set found its way to my house!

I chose some vibrant Spring colours and am now happily in love with this stamp set!

Supplies:

Stamps: Altenew, Watercolour Wonders; sentiment from Uniko, Floral Vines

Inks: Memento, tuxedo black, pear tart, bamboo leaves, dandelion, love letter, lilac posies, tangelo, rose bud

Huge thanks for visiting today, it's been fabulous to have your company for a while.

Supplies:

Stamps: Altenew, Watercollur Wonders; sentiment from Uniko, Floral Vines

Inks: Memento, grape jelly, lulu lavender; Altenew, mountain mist; Versafine Clair, nocturne

Thanks so much for looking today. It's always more fun when i get visitors.
