Altenew Old & New Favorites!

Every few years, I have to bring out an old favorite stamp set from Altenew called Farmers Market- it's fun, playful and I just can't stop with those carrots!  

Using old favorites in a new way?  come to find out, right now, there is a Challenge for that from the Altenew Educators who are hopping with all their own old favorites!

You can see my older cards here and here but this is my newest version, using some Altenew patterned paper, from Celebrations, that looks like I did some natural die inking... this was so much easier, and far less messy!

Inside sentiment reserved, wink!

There is that new favorite Rounded Rectangle Die again - 
definitely one of my NEW favorites!

I love that Altenew had all the right colors in their enamel dot collection.

Do YOU have an old favorite from Altenew that gets used time and time again?  Why not join in the fun?  You have until April 5th!

Great paper and the prettiest of colours and what fun carrots!...There's a sentence I don't say often x. Always good to get the oldies out, especially when they look as fabulous as this Michele x.

Pattern paper? You cheated!! 🤣 This is so pretty. I was in Kroger this noon and saw some multicolored carrots like these. I like yours better!!

Karen said...

Love that patterned paper--just perfect! Great card!

Oh fun, that's patterned paper??!! This is marvelous. The carrots looks scrumptious. I've never had the 'other' colored carrots. I've always heard they're pretty, but the regular old orange taste the best!

Your carrots are awesome, Michele, the old and the new! What a beautiful watercolor background and I love the rounded rectangles that add just a little something else!

Can't seem to get away from the carrots, huh? Love the colors you've used, I can almost taste them. Of course, I haven't failed to notice the perfection of that background you colored and built.

Love the wash behind the carrots, Michele. I wonder what the sentiment could be? ;)

I remember your old carrot cards, and I still love them both, Michele! You did a fantastic job of combining your old favorite with new one, and created a new addition to the carrot stamp family. A wonderful way of using the rectangles in the background. If you said you had watercolored the background, I would have believed it! ;-)

Your multicolored carrots make me feel like I am in the produce section at Whole Foods Market where carrots, potatoes, radishes... are all available in surprising colors. I LOVE this!
