Hello Friends, How are you today? Me? I am pretty much a mess because I got my dates mixed up and thought that today’s hop with Altenew was next week! Please stop back so I can show you my finished wreath. If you do I will be so grateful since I really messed up. Gah!! Thanks to May for her patience and kind heart.
I am updating my post to show my finished card. Whew! !
If you came back to see my finished wreath card I am thrilled and honored.
This card measures 7.5 x 7. It was so rewarding to take my time and finish this properly.
To start at the beginning of the hop go to the Altenew Card Blog . If you are coming from the talented Kathleen Graumüller ‘s blog you are in the right place.
Also please note that Altenew has a free gift with purchase! YES please and thank YOU Altenew!
This stamp set is one of those ….. fall in love at first sight stamp sets. “Happy Pomegranates” YES PLEASE!
Click here to see the full release! Love this release it really is awesome!
Not only is this stamp set beautiful but, the wide open spaces on the leaves, petals and pomegranates make it easy to blend out your colors.
For my background I will be using the new “Birch Impressionism” die cut.
UPDATE ON THIS … Later today I was able to watercolor and stamp these awesome trees. Unfortunately I made them to dark so the trees were to bold for my wreath. I ended up stamping a simple background instead.
What’s a blog hop without prizes and giveaway right?
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 9/10/2019 for a chance to win.
