Altenew Celebrating Parents Card Drive Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello everyone! Altenew is celebrating parents with a blog hop and I am thrilled to take part in this hop. To start at the beginning of the blog hop go to the Altenew Blog. (you can find the full list is at the bottom of my post.)

I love that Altenew's goal is to send cards for the elderly that lives in nursing homes or shelters to let them know they’re not forgotten. I hope you will check out the Celebrating Parents Card Drive and join this great cause by sending in cards if you have a little spare time or a spare card.

For my card I used Dainty Bouquet stamp set. I’ve applied some Altenew embossing paste over Skylight stencil onto light grey panel and heat embossed the stenciled background using silver glitter embossing powder.

Next, I stamped beautiful flower from Dainty Bouquet stamp set onto light grey cardstock using Altenew inks and die cut the image using coordinating die.

I finished off my card by mounting my die cut image and the sentiment Love on the card front using foam tape.

Our goal is to send cards for the elderly that lives in nursing homes or shelters to let them know they’re not forgotten. Please encourage people to check out the Celebrating Parents Card Drive and join this great cause by sending in cards.
