Altenew February 2020 Stencils/Decals/Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway



Hello!
Welcome to Altenew February 2020 Stencils/Decals/Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop.
You must be here from Nathalie DeSousa's blog.

I will be sharing two cards with you today.

First up is the card featuring the Bursting Dahlia Stencil

I outlined the pattern with a permanent black pen and watercoloured it using the new Artists' Watercolours. Once the panel was dry, I fussy cut the pattern out and popped it on the card front. Before adhering it onto the card front, I also added a few black paint splatters. 
To finish, I adhered a sentiment strip that runs along the width of the card.

My second card features the Wild Leopard Stencil.

I applied black gesso through the stencil and then after removing the stencil, I poured over black glitter generously. 
Next, I stamped and heat embossed the onesie from Little One Stamp Set and popped it on the card front with foam tape.
For the sentiment, I used "congrats" from the Script Words Die Set.

I used Obsidian Pigment ink to stamp the images and the new Artists Watercolours to colour the images. The new watercolours are gorgeous you guys!! You will love them!

The watercolour set also has a "white" watercolour! How cool is that?!

I did some masking and stamped the Exotic Garden Stamp Set partially with Obsidian Pigment Ink. I used the Artists Watercolours to colour the image.
