Hello friends!
Welcome to Altenew's March Marvelous Monthly Release!
The card features Paint-A-Flower: Magnolia Grandiflora Outline Stamp Set.
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.
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!
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.
I saved my favourite card for the last. This did not photograph well. It really looks beautiful in person.
The card features Craft Your Life Project Kit: Delicate Garden.
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.

ReplyDeleteur cards are stunning, my fav is the first one on black love the lines in the background!!
ReplyDeleteAs always, absolutely stunning! I love the fullness and dimension of the last card.
ReplyDeleteErum, the last card was breathtaking ! I didn’t think that I could use my artist markers to stenciled and ink- blended images…it add so much vibrancy that ink blended images usually don’t provide! Your first card using the black background was so powerful! Gold and black together is so dramatic! Did you use black watercolor paper? Heavy stock black paper from Tim Holtz? I would love to replicate you black/ gold card. Thanks again!

ReplyDeleteHi Erum. I love the range and style of your cards. I really like that you used blue for the poppies instead of the traditional red. I agree with you, the last card is outstanding. All the colors, shading and bling is gorgeous. The addition of metallic watercolor really adds to the beauty. That is the kind of card you save for a very special person who will appreciate it. I always look forward to seeing your cards on the Altenew Blog Hops.
