Altenew January Release Blog Hop II + Giveaway

Hello Friends,

Today I'm participating Altenew January Release Blog Hop. If you came from Nicole Picadura's blog, you are on the right track, if not please start at the beginning of Altenew blog.

I played a little with this beautiful Garden Hydrangea stamp set. This set has one multilayered hydrangea bloom. You may use this set to stamp all four layers on top of each other and you'll get a beautiful image. If you wish to add a bit of your own touch, you may want to use just a few of the images and colour the rest. I used the bottom left image to stamp my flower. I used Zig Watercolour Markers as my ink. Then I took my water brush and blended the ink a bit. 

Here's my final project. I kinda like how it turned out. :)


Supplies: 
Stamps: Garden Hydrangea and Many thanks by Altenew.
Inks: Altenew Jet Black Crisp Dye Ink.
Paper: Altenew Pale Gray Cardstock, White Vellum and The Langton Rough Grain Torchon Watercolour by Daler & Rowney.
Kuretake Clear Colour Real Brush Markers: Dull Blue (034) and Pale Gray (097).
PRIZES:
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to THREE lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew blog by Thursday, February 2nd at 11:59 PM EST for a chance to win. The winners will be announced on the Altenew blog on Saturday, February 4th.
