Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their October release blog hop.
My first project features the Bold Blossom stamp set. I am such a sucker for these gorgeous multi-step stamping sets. For the blossoms I used Blush & Rouge. For the leaves I used Mountain Mist & Lagoon. These ink colors are amazing! The sentiment is from the new Celebrate stamp set.
My next card showcases the Simple Flowers stamp set.
I love these funky floral images. Using my MISTI I used two ink colors for each bloom to get a gradient look. I used a combination of Simple Flowers & Floral Frame for my sentiment.
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to THREE lucky winners! Leave a comment on the Altenew blog by Wednesday, October 19th at 11:59 PM EST for a chance to win. The winners will be announced on Thursday, October 20th on the Altenew blog.

Your cards are interesting and fun!
I love flowers so you know I love the roses stamp. I love the pretty colors you used and I love, love, love, love sequins! I use sequins all the time. The second card reminds me of the 60’s and that futuristic look. Love it and love the colors you used. I see you used yellow which is my favorite color and that makes it even better. Great cards and I am hoping that I can be one of the winners because I have my stamps and things all picked out. I can’t afford to buy the stamps I want but if I win I can.
I especially like your second card!
Love, Love, Love.. my favorite from this release is the Simple Flowers stamp set. I really love how you used it here.
Love it all
Laura,
Flower-themed cards are always my favorite and yours are no exception! Although the simple flower stamp set was not one that immediately caught my attention, the card you made using these images is truly awesome!! I especially like the way you positioned the sequins to give each flower that extra little “zing”…super fun!!!
Both cards are just lovely, Laura. Really love your layout on the first and gorgeous flowers, but those two-toned simple flowers look awesome.
