Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop




Hi there blog friends! Several weeks ago, Kylie (Owner/Manager of Addicted to CAS) asked me to represent our team for the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop! Altenew sent each rep 2 stamp sets of our choice, so I have created 2 cards for the hop :)


My first card is ultra-modern and features the Amazing You stamp set, Versatile Vases dies, and Deco Lines Washi Tape. I used linen cardstock for texture and gold foil cardstock for the border. 

_______________________________________



Give me a nautical theme anytime, so I grabbed this new set called Seas the Day and got going...I used Versamark and clear embossing powder for the water and blended distress inks to add color. I stenciled the clouds and used a Copic Multiliner to draw the seagull. The ship and little girl were colored with Copic markers and once I added the sentiment, this card was complete!

There are several challenge blogs on the hop and a generous prize being offered at each one :) There are $250. in prizes and winners will be announced on the Altenew blog on September 5th, 2021.

So...hop on over to the Addicted to CAS challenge blog...Kylie will give you the details and links to the participating challenges ~ Good luck, everyone!

Beautifully done Barb. Your cards are stunning.

Drastically different cards, Barb, both showing off Altenew's variety and your creativity. The vase card is so dramatic with its black and gold. The little girl watching the sailboat go by is colorful and fun.

Another gorgeous vase, Barb! Love how it looks done in the Washi tape and it's so perfect with this tall flower! Love how you've done the water on the second card! A super nautical card!
