24 October 2019

Welcome to the Altenew October 2019 Decal Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Virginia Lu's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

I used the Watercolor Dots and the Reason To Smile Decals to add some detail to our family livingroom.

I started with the Reason to Smile Decal and then added some of the dots using colours that would match our striped wallpaper. It is the first thing I see when I walk in the room and it puts a smile on my face. The decals are super easy to apply and you can easily take them off and put them somewhere else.

You can see how I added the decals to my wall in the video below:

Hero Arts and Altenew Partners Blog Hop

23 October 2019

Welcome to the Hero Arts and Altenew Partners Blog Hop. If you have hopped over from Libby Hickson's blog you are right on track. you can the hop over on the Hero Arts blog.

The stamp for today's hop is this amazing set. I knew I wanted to use it to work on my watercolouring skills.

How to:

Stamp the floral image using very light ink. I used Altenew Buttercream.
Colour the image with your favourite watercolours. I used the Altenew Watercolor Pan but you could also use the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers or any other watercolour medium.
Once the image is coloured and dry add some colour to the background. I went for soft blues and greens.
Finish off with some ink splatters.

I still have so much to learn when it comes to watercolouring but I am getting better and better each time I practise.

The best part of this hop, other than all the amazing inspiration is the PRIZE part.
There will be 3 prizes, drawn from comments left across the blog hop:
- One winner will receive the stamp set!
- One winner will receive a $25 shopping spree at Altenew
- One winner will receive a $25 shopping spree at Hero Arts

You have until Sunday, October 27th to leave your comments, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog next week.

Altenew October 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

11 October 2019

Hello and welcome to the October 2019 Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have come from Jaycee Gaspar's blog then you are on the right track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

For today's release, I chose to work with the String Art Butterfly Die. I ran the die through my Altenew Mini Blossom tool and sewed the thread on using two colours. I wanted to have a single butterfly so I decided to cut it out by hand.

I created the background using an ink blending technique and the Linear Stencil. To add some extra detail I picked a cardstock element from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection. A simple sentiment finishes the card off.

Prizes:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 10/16/2019 for a chance to win.

We’ll also draw a winner to receive a $20 gift certificate from the comments left on each designer’s blog on the blog hop list below. All winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 10/20/2019.

What has caught your eye? I really love the String Art Dies. They are such fun and so different from our regular dies.
