Hello friends!

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Magnolia Grandiflora | Erum Tasneem

I heat embossed the image and then used the Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set to color it.

I used the Gold Pen from the Must-Have Gel Pen Get for additional details.

Altenew Build-A-Garden: Dancing Poppies  | Erum Tasneem

I kept this card super simple; it features the Build-A-Garden: Dancing Poppies.

I used the coloring stencils to color the image.

I only used one blue ink and one gray ink. So you can use any of your favourite blues and grays. Or any of your favourite colour combos!



Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Magnolia Grandiflora | Erum Tasneem

I spent a little bit more time on this one. Here I used the Paint-A-Flower: Magnolia Grandiflora Outline Stamp Set.

I used the Woodless Watercolor Pencils to color this image and then fussy cut it without leaving an outline. I also added dot details with a Fine Liner pen.

Next I used aqua and green inks through the Fine Tulle stencil for my background, added a few splatters, and adhered everything. 

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Delicate Garden | Erum Tasneem

I saved my favourite card for the last. This did not photograph well. It really looks beautiful in person.

I picked a bunch of Altenew inks and randomly applied them through the coloring stencil. But I used Dark Night for the leaves. 
I used coordinating Artist Alcohol Markers and added shading, which added a lot of depth and interest. 
To add more bling, I added details using a gold watercolor instead of a gold gel pen.

Hello and welcome to Altenew January Marvelous Monthly Release Hop.

You must be here from Michelle Short's blog.

I have a few cards to share with you, so let's get started.

Altenew Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations | Erum Tasneem

The first card features the Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations .
I used the stencils to color through the stencil and also added ink shading for interest. 

Altenew Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations | Erum Tasneem
For this card, I used the stencil that comes in the Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations set. Not my favourite as it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to but I still thought I would share it.

And my third, more clean and simple card featuring the Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations.

Altenew Mini Delight: Wildly Loved Stamp & Die Set | Erum Tasneem

Love how this one turned out. 


Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Meadow Breeze | Erum Tasneem

For this card, I inked a panel in Dark Night Crisp Dye Ink and then used one of the stamps from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Meadow Breeze
I stamped this in Obsidian Ink and then adhered several black gems all over the stamped design. This one looks simple but is sparkly and super classy.

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Meadow Breeze | Erum Tasneem

This is my favourite!! This card features the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Meadow Breeze.

Hi there everyone!

This card features the Circle Frame Mask Stencil.
I wanted to create a very fun, colourful card so just moved the stencil all over the panel using different inks colors that go together.


The dark blue on this one became way too dark for my liking. The card features the Good Vibes Builder Stencil Set and Label Love Add On Set.

After inking through the stencil, I used the Fineliner Pen to outline the flowers and add doodles.
The sentiment is from XOXO & More Die Set.


This one-layer card features the Nostalgic Flowers Stamp and Coloring Stencils
I also added detail with Woodless Coloring Pencils.



This card features the Nostalgic Flowers Stamp and die set.
