Altenew 10th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway (over $3,500 in Total Prizes)

Happy 10th anniversary to Altenew!  I'm so happy to be a part of the Day 1 blog hop to celebrate their 10 years!  I have been an Altenew fan for many years and am thrilled that they continue to bring us beautiful products to create with.  And wow!  The prizes are fantastic, so keep reading for all of the details.

You should have arrived here from Virginia Lu's blog.  If you need to start at the beginning, head over to the Altenew blog.

My card was made with the gorgeous Bold Bouquet 3D embossing folder and the coordinating stencils.

After embossing 80# Neenah with the Bold Bouquet embossing folder, I used ink blending brushes to blend various shades of ink through each stencil layer.
 

I love how this turned out!  I added two mat layers behind the main panel and adhered them to an A2 card base.  The sentiment is from the Bold Bouquet stamp set and stamped in black pigment ink.

Check out these amazing prizes from Altenew and be sure to leave a comment here, and at every stop, for your chance to win!
