Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway (over $2,000 in Total Prizes)

Hi Artsy Friends! Today is a very special day for me. Altenew invited me to join their Eighth Anniversary Celebration Hop, and I couldn’t be more honored. I started crafting eight years ago around the same time Altenew released their very first gorgeous floral stamps, and I have been one of their biggest fans ever since.

For today’s card, I chose one of my favorite stamp and die combos, Enchanting Beauty, which was released last year, and paired it with the lovely Goldfish Pond set.

I used the MISTI and repeatedly stamped the layers to build the inked shading on the fish, and then added dimension in the fins with Altenew Artist Markers. Finally, I used gel pens to add details and highlights to the koi.

I'm a wife, mom, and former teacher. I decided to create a blog and share some of the ways I express myself everyday. You'll usually find my latest card creations, but I plan to throw in some projects from around the house as well. Maybe I'll even post a recipe once in a while. You never know what you're going to get!

  33. Hi from Central Florida! This card is fin-tastic! (Get it? Humor. Haha) What a beautiful card! The colors are so fabulous together and I love all of the movement in this card! I am trying to see how you made the background! Is it actually a couple sheets of paper stacked with foam between, or is it a masked image and stamped and flat, please? It is gorgeous and inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
