Altenew June 2022 Today is the Day Collection Release Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome to the Altenew June 2022 Release.

You must be here from Mindy Eggen's blog.

I have two cards to share with you.

My first, rainbow watercolor card features the Bold Sentiments Stamp Set. These were stamped only once in Obsidian Pigment Ink, which is back in stock by the way!

For my watercolor, I used the Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set on A2 Watercolor Cardstock by Altenew. If you want to see how I create backgrounds like these, I have quite a few tutorials though THIS one, in particular, will be helpful. Skip to the 2:27 mark.

And then for my second card, which was also super fun to create, I used the Enjoy Life Stamp Set.

Nowadays, I am really enjoying the coloring stencils. So for this card, I used the Enjoy Life Simple Coloring Stencil Set. I mixed and matched inks from different color families and had a time of my life :)

Altenew April 2022 Gardens Around the World Collection Release Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome to the April Release - Gardens Around the World Blog Hop.

You must be here from the lovely LauraJane's blog.

I have a watercolor card to share with you today featuring the Castle Garden Stamp. This is a gorgeous set and this is huge so you can use various positions and change the layout of your cards. I created one more card using the same stamp set which I will share next month and all I did was stamp it slightly lower and more off the edge, it changed the look quite a bit.

For the watercolor, I stamped the image on A2 Watercolor Cardstock in Obsidian Ink and used the Watercolor 36 Pan Set to color the panel.

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Fragrant Florals Release Blog Hop

 

Hello friends!

Welcome to the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Fragrant Florals Release.

You must be here from the lovely Colleen Balija's blog.

I love the card that I am sharing today. It is super easy to recreate! I used the coloring stencils from the kit and some Mini Blending Brushes to add color to the stamped image. And, I absolutely LOVE the result!!

Once I was done, I adhered this onto a Navy Cardstock and added a few white splatters to add some texture.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Belladonna Lily Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to Altenew Build-a-Flower: Belladonna Lily Blog Hop!

It is already April! It is quite hot where I am.

Let's get to the fun part! You must be here from the talented Nenette Madero's blog. And I am sure you must be wowed by her cards!

I will be sharing two cards with you because I stamped quite a few images and I was left with one extra image. I thought I would whip up one simple card.

My first card features an ombre ink background with a blend of inks from Espresso to Rhodolite Crisp Dye Inks. I applied them with a very light touch to get a soft look. But you can still see the gradient from top left to bottom right diagonally and it looks really pretty.

On the second card, I used the same blend of inks but this time, with a heavy hand and I also masked off the borders using the Satin Masking Tape by Altenew.

For the flower layers, I used  Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Rubellite, and Rhodolite Crisp Dye Inks.

On the background, I added tons of fine metallic gold watercolor from the Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set.
