Welcome to Altenew's second Blog Hop! Altenew is a relatively new stamp company that opened it's doors last April. In a couple of days they will be releasing their second collection of stamps. All the stamps that you will see here will be available for purchase at 9:00 am EST on Monday July 14th.
If you are here from Taheerah's blog, welcome!
I was asked to participate this time around and am so excited to see some well needed Islamic stamps designed this release. Here is what I made:
I paired the sentiment from Super Script 2 and the flowers from Persian motifs to make this fun simple flat card. It makes a beautiful background against the bold font.
For my next card I created an ombre background with watercolors and then stamped the flowers from Persian motifs on top. Pretty easy! I was inspired by a card I saw Julie Ebersole make! The sentiment is from Eid Greetings. Oh my gosh am I so excited to see this set! It is long overdue and so needed!!
PrizesTo celebrate their second release, Altenew is giving away five stamp sets of choice to three lucky winners! The winners will be chosen from comments left on the Altenew blog. There is more! I will choose a winner from comments left on this post and the prize will be two stamps sets of your choice. You have until Monday July 14th 7:59am EST to leave your comments. You may enter up to two comments on each blog:

The winners will be selected and announced on Monday July 14th at 9:00 am EST!
