Altenew's Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop

We are so excited at CAS Mix Up today.

Altenew invited us to join in their Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop.

I was honored to be chosen to create a card to represent CAS Mix Up.

Here's a collage of the challenge sites that are participating.
Links are at the CAS Mix Up site
We are honored to be among them.

There are prizes too.
Altenew will be awarding $35 gift certificates to 5 random winners.

And they are offering a free gift with orders over $50 through September 16th

Since our 
I used a piece of marbled paper for this beautiful Altenew Painted Butterfly.

I also used this sweet flower from their Botanical Garden set.

The marbled piece is one that my grandchildren made using
shaving cream and food coloring.  The cardstock is coated.
It's something I bought from a local printing company.
It made for some awesome marbled prints!

I stamped and embossed the butterfly on a snippet they left behind.

My first card with this design went wrong and I had to do the front again.
I liked the flower better on the first card so I cut it out and
popped it over the painted flower on this card.
It adds some dimension.

I used stamping, marbling, heat embossing and watercolor.

There's a linky at CAS Mix Up so you can join in the Blog Hop
using your Altenew products.
They have a lot of gorgeous sets to choose from.

I hope you'll join in.  

Use some marbling and join us at CAS Mix Up too.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Your grandchildren did a fantastic job of marbling. This butterfly is so pretty and really compliments your bright golden flower. This is so pretty.

YAY for CAS Mixup being part of the Altenew challenge. Great recognition of the CAS MU challenge too! Love the marbled flower (great work by the kids, and great work by you at being able to incorporate their work into this pretty card). Adding the yellow blossom as you've done, created more dimension, and of course the colors are brilliant. (I have this set ...never had the flower look so good either!) Well done on being the CAS MU representative at Altenew's challenge. Love their stamps. Love this card! TFS & Hugs
