August Challenge: From Places Abroad – United Kingdom

Hello!

We are back with a picture theme challenge! And this month, the inspiration is from the United Kingdom. As many of you may know,  the Altenew team was at CHA-UK last June. It was mostly work, but we did manage to see some places during our stay there.

The following picture is from a store-front of a bakery (presumably) taken during a late night exploration.

This may seem a bit unusual, but there are plenty of elements/colors in this picture to use as inspiration :)

The following card was inspired by the lacy decoration on the cake:

To create the decorative front, a flower stamp from the Striped Florals set was embossed repeatedly in white on clear vellum. The embossed piece was then trimmed with a pair of scissors, and wrapped around a Walnut cream card stock (Bazzill) which was cut to the size of the card front. The sentiment (Scribbled Flowers) was stamped on a piece of white card stock, a whole was punched at its end, and then threaded through a brown ribbon. Finally, the ribbon was wrapped around and tied into a small bow. The finished piece was then glued to a card base.

Play Along:

Make a card, a tag, a layout or any other project based on the inspiration photo above.  You may use either the colors, the composition, the elements, the texture or any combination to create your project.

Rules:

• Make a new project for each challenge and post it by 11:59 pm EDT September 10.
• Use at least one Altenew stamp
• Link back to Altenew August Challenge in your post
• When uploading your project, make sure to link to your entry post, not your entire blog
• You may enter as many times as you wish!

Prizes:

After the challenge closes, Four winners will be selected, and one random winner will be drawn. Each will receive a $30 store credit at www.altenew.com.  Winners will be announced within a week after the challenge closes.

We can not wait to see where this month’s inspiration takes you!
