Altenew July 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil/Stamping Mat Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi everyone,
Today I am honored to participate in the new Altenew Release blog hop. There are so many wonderful products in this release and you don't want to miss it. Also there are prizes!!! Scroll to the bottom.
It's a blog hop full of wonderful creations from some amazing designers. So, if you are following the hop you should have arrived from The Hedgehog Hollow blog and your next stop would be Hussena Calcuttawala. If you just stumbled upon my blog by chance, then scroll down for the blog hop list or just go to the Altenew Card Blog to start the hop.

Along the amazing stamps, dies and stencils, Altenew is releasing a STAMPING MAT. It's amazing one!
Here's the description
The silicone grid mat is great for stamping, watercolor, ink blending, heat embossing, and everyday crafting! The mat features inches as well as metric measurements on the edges and a half inch grid. Due to the nature of the silicone surface, some grid lines have slight imperfections and are not completely straight. This will not affect the quality or functionality of the mat. Please note that due to the white color of the mat, using inks or coloring mediums may stain the mat. This will not affect the performance of the mat.

Material: Silicone Color: 

White Size: 12"x16" 

Surface: One side printed with a grid, one side non-slip 

Heat Resistant

Now, lets move onto the projects. For my first card I used the Sophisticated Wreath set and dies and paired it with the Mega Blessed die and Medallion layered cover dies. I kept my background white so it brings out the flowers more and the sentiment.

While I had my MISTIs all set up for the layer stamping on the Sophisticated Wreath, I stamped bunch and created bunch of same design cards but different color schemes. These are great for mass producing 

For my next card I used Charming Doodles and Something Wonderful sets. 

Here's another card using Charming doodles set, but this time I paired it up with a sentiment from the Sophisticated wreath and used the Geometric Frames die set to create the frame. I used the Charming doodle stencil to do my masking. I used the Antique Gold Pigment ink to stamp the images and sentiment on black. Don't you just love the results?

Then, I have a card using Graphic Brushstrokes set. I stamped the background twice in different shades of pink and added a sentiment stamped on black and embossed in white for some contrast.

Prizes:
