Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums & Craft Your Life Apron Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums + Alcohol Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hello and welcome to
Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums & Craft Your Life Apron Release.

You must be here from LauraJane's blog.



I have two cards to share with you. 

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums + Alcohol Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I did make a video for this, I will put it up on the Altenew YouTube tomorrow! I will mention all the details about the inks I used, and the markers in that post. (this will become active on 11/23 at 9:00 AM EST.0
The reason I created two very similar-looking cards is that the one on the right (see above) was what I had in mind or close to it and the one on the left is what I did after I messed up. 


Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums + Alcohol Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I started by ink blending on Crest Solar White Cardstock

I used Artist Markers to add colour to the flower and leaves.


I have been doing this a lot lately, stamping in dye inks, colouring with artist markers and then heat embossing. That is exactly what I did here. Then added splatters a lot of gold and black splatters. 
To finish, I adhered Satin Gold Sequins.

Because I messed up the stamping the first time around, this is the card I saved.

You can find all about it in tomorrow's post.
I added fine splatters on the cream card front and stamped the sentiment brown ink.

To finish, I adhered Satin Gold Sequins.

I'm very curious for tomorrow's post 'cuz I can't see anything messed up in any of your cards!! Both are lovely with the gold heat embossing-- I would not have thought of gold with these flowers!-- and dark stems and buds. Thanks for sharing!

Erum, I'll love forward to your video tomorrow - but while I wait, I'll just enjoy these gorgeous cards!
I've just made two cards using pinks and browns - isn't that a coincidence?

Great cards and the gold embossing is so helpful for me when watercoloring, and here as well with artist markers. Looks great I see no mistake, I'll check back for the video. Thanks for sharing ups and downs, we all have them and most of the time no one sees it.

Sandy Baggarly said...

Beautiful card! I love the colors & can’t wait to see your video. The idea of embossing after coloring is something I haven’t tried. It seems as it would make the coloring easier in some instances.

Julie Greaves said...

Erum, your cards are beautiful and inspiring as always. :) I love the embossing and always like the splatters (haven't worked up the courage yet to do this myself - one day soon, I promise). I watch your videos all the time and can't wait for the one tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent and inspiring me once again.

Lois said...

As always Erum, your designs are show stoppers, love the embossed detail and color combos, these mums are very pretty! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Lindsey NY said...

Erum, no one would ever guess you made a mistake. Both cards are lovely. I will have to watch your video tomorrow to fond out what went wrong🤔. Plus I need to see how you emboss after your coloring? Thanks for sharing.

Hmm, I never thought to emboss after I color! Great idea. The background really finishes off the image nicely

Your cards are gorgeous. I watched your video on how you saved your first card after "messing up." You've inspired me to keep at it when I make a mistake (which is often!). Thanks so much.
