colourQ challenge #359 & The Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop with Altenew...

WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE BLOG HOP WITH ALTENEW!

Today's the day ~ colourQ is participating in a SuPeR fUn blog hop sponsored by Altenew!  This challenge is featuring a whole bunch of fantastically fun online challenges and we were asked to be a part of it!  Woohoooo!!!

There are so many fabulous challenge blogs participating...



And there are P-R-I-Z-E-S, of course!  Altenew is generously giving away $35 gift certificate to FIVE lucky winners!  Winners will be chosen at random from the comments on any of the blogs listed on the hop list (see below)!  Winners will be announced on the Altenew blog on October 17, 2016.

Altenew is also offering a free gift with any purchase from now through Saturday, September 16!  There is no need to add anything to your cart for this offer.  The Coffee Ring stamp set will automatically be added to your order upon checkout (limit one per customer while supplies last)!



And now for our weekly colourQ Challenge! We hope you'll play along with us this week!



Here's my sample using two beautiful sets from Altenew - Golden Garden and Painted Encouragement...

And from our amazing Royal Court some delightful inspiration...

Ready to get inky?!?

ENTRY DEADLINE is MONDAY, September 19th at 12 midnight CST, to be considered for colourQueen! You must be linked before the deadline to be in the running for colourQueen, but if you miss it, you are welcome to leave your link in the comments!

PLEASE use the palette provided for your project! 

You'll notice that a few of our designers use colors similar to the SU! colors listed in the palettes - just try to keep it close!

Please display our palette badge, but at the VERY least, you MUST put a link in your post back to this challenge~ Thank you!

Using InLinkz, link to the actual post/gallery page your project is in, and select the thumbnail image of your project. Any mis-linked entries are subject to deletion, but I'll try to let you know if there's a problem!

*** Just so you know, InLinkz is not fool-proof, some of you may not be able to post the thumbnail of your card... if not, link your profile picture. But if you CAN post the thumbnail of your card, please do! If I have time I will go back & 'fix' the Inlinkz for those of you who cannot get your project thumbnail to post, oky-doky? If I do "fix" it for you, your thumbnail may be moved to a different position on the entry list ***

Hope you get to play along this week!!!







ALTENEW ULTIMATE BLOG HOP CHALLENGE

You may also enter your Altenew projects below using the InLinz link-up if you would like, you will see the same link-up all along the hop or on the Altenew blog. It is all going into the same pool for a chance to have your project featured on the Altenew blog.
