Pair-A-Flower winners are out!! Creativity Inspired 2021 Contest Winners Announcement

Wow! We were so excited to see how Altenew fans would interpret this contest, and you all did not disappoint! We were impressed by the response to our first Pair-A-Flower photography contest, and we can't wait to show you the results of this competition.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this challenge. It was definitely difficult to choose our favorites, and your creativity doesn't make it any easier!

Without further ado, here are the contest winners. First up are our top three winners who simply astounded us with their gorgeous projects.

1st Place: From Shirt to Card

Our first place winner who will receive a $100 Altenew gift card is Hannelie.

Hannelie blew us away by creating an exact replica of her favorite shirt in card form! We love what she did with our Botanical Garden Stamp Set and are already feeling inspired to take our own stamps out to do the same. If you would like to see a picture of Hannelie wearing the same featured shirt, check out her blog post entry.

2nd Place: Garden Trellis Recreation

Our second place winner who will receive a Botanical Pomegranate Creativity Cardmaking Kit ($75.96 value) is Meghan.

Wow! Seeing this gorgeous garden trellis get translated onto a card is mind-blowing. We love what Meghan did here with Climber Flowers Die Set and Garden Trellis Cover Die.

3rd Place: Picturesque Bouquet

Our third place winner who will receive a $50 Altenew gift card is Irene.

We can't keep our eyes off this stunning card and bouquet pairing! We love all the special little touches Irene added to create this work of art. Can you spot the florals from Garden Treasure, Golden Garden, and Beautiful Day Stamp Sets in her card?

Karen's interpretation of this beautiful coneflower with our Build-A-Flower: Coneflower Layering Stamp & Die Set caught our eye.
