Altenew September 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

 Hi all!

Welcome to Paperfiori, I'm so glad you're here!  Today I'm honored to be participating in Altenew's September 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!  You should have arrived here from the amazing Virginia Lu, but be sure to hit all the AMAZING artists on this hop by starting here.


I LOVE each and every piece of Altenew product I have, from stamps, to dies, stencils, pencils, SCISSORS (I really love those, can you tell?), papers, markers...I could go on forever!  What brought me over to this fantastic company were the flower dies and stamps.  I've missed out on so many and have had to wait for re-stocks, but with Altenew's monthly subscription options, I don't miss out on any more of their luscious flower products!  Being a former florist, I adore flowers, and Altenew's September Craft-A-Flower Japanese Camilla completely fills my flower hole!

The design of the completed die cut flowers look complex, but they're actually a breeze to assemble.  Especially with the new registration system Altenew developed, it seriously makes it so easy.  I had so much fun creating with this set and I'm still making more!


These flowers can be uber realistic or more 'artsy' which I posted about earlier this week here.  The flowers on this project are a mix of the two techniques.  The blossoms themselves have a little ink blending, then are highlighted with Altenew's Alcohol markers to give them a more realistic look.  The leaves I took creative liberty with and made them gray with some ink blending and finished off with markers.



The flowers hug either corner of the Simple Frame embossing folder and the script sentiment from Sweet Sentiments...which is amazing, a must have!  I guess they're all must haves...tee hee.  


That's it here!  Don't forget to comment here and on each stop of the hop for a chance to win a part of the $300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $100 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a $40 gift certificate to 5 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 09/25/2023 for a chance to win. Altenew will draw 6 random winners from the comments left on each stop of this blog hop and announce the winners on the Altenew Winners Page on 09/27/2023. Now head on over and visit the talented Agnieszka Maylszek!

Have a colorful hop!!
