Altenew 11th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (Over $3,600 in Total Prizes)

Hi crafters! Welcome to join Altenew's 11th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway! I am truly honored to be part of this celebration and to join in the fun of Altenew's 11th Anniversary. There are tons of giveaways and some special offers you won't want to miss - so make sure to read through to the end of this post!



When I saw Altenew's Epiphyllum Layering Die Set, I knew I had to have it! Epiphyllum is one of our favorite flowers, and we've planted a variety of them in different colors in our back yard. Here is the card I created using this beautiful die set:



I die cut the flowers and leaves from white cardstock and blended them with Altenew's die inks to add color. For the background, I used Altenew's Checkered Squares 3D embossing folder to emboss a piece of black cardstock, giving it rich texture and dimension. To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from Altenew's Sentiment Strips stamp set onto a yellow cardstock strip, then I added a few Altenew's Iridescent Crystals to the background for a touch of sparkle. Here is another look at the finished card:
