Altenew's Ultimate Challenge Blog hop

Hello! And welcome to the Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop

with Altenew!

The purpose of this hop is to raise awareness of all the challenge blogs

out there. Isn't that great? Love the idea of knowing what's available.

Tag You're It has been invited to join the hop, 

and I'm so excited to bring you some inspiration

from the TYI team!

My tag uses Altenew's: Coffee Love.

Our featured artist, Melissa Bickford, gave us the most beautiful double tag

for our recent challenge. I used it for my muse.

Such a lovely double tag! Plenty of inspiration there.

Here's my recipe for my double tag:

Tag: PTI's Tag Sale #5.

Background tag has all over embossed coffee beans from the set:

Altenew's Coffee Love

Coffee pot embossed with Ranger's Liquid Platinum.

Sentiment is also embossed, coffee in Zing: Chestnut, and the rest, 

Stampendous: Ivory

A few little stars and sequins, 

and some chocolate brown satin ribbon tied with 

embroidery thread, and my tag is ready to attach to a coffee gift!

There is incredible talent out there, so great to know and be able to join in!

Enjoy the hop!

Playing along with the Card Concept,

where the challenge is to use one of their styles, and this inspiration:

We didn't have to use purple, but I loved the picture's fresh spring hues,

so I went with the lilac colors.

The Ton: Sending Peonies

Ranger: Liquid Platinum Embossing powder.

Zig Clean Color watercolor pens

WM sequins

going with Mixed Media because of the watercolors for my style.

Playing along with Fusion this week where the challenge is:

While I have no orchid stamps, I did have my latest PTI order which included

Peonies On Parade.

Trying to combine the photo with the sketch, 

first stenciled the middle with Ranger's Mermaid Lagoon & Salty Ocean.

I then stamped ferns from PTI's Birds and Blooms & Twig Wreath.

Tried to emulate the glass with PTI's Dotty Vellum,

colored (on the back) with copics

The Peony was colored with copics and my watercolor pencils, trying

desperately to capture those orchid pinks!

I did move the butterfly image up to the top.

Sentiment from Birds and Blooms (PTI)

Stampendous Fuchsia Crushed Glass Glitter

A bit of Wink of Stella.

The string of aqua sequins was in my 12 Kits package from 

Michelle Leone. Thank you Michelle!
