Hey friends! I am honoured to be participating with Altenew New Build-a-flower Blog Hop!
I am always thrilled when I get to play along with Altenew, nothing makes me happier then when I get to play with watercolours and Altenew ALWAYS offers that opportunity with their floral images.
I embossed the image and the main part of the sentiment with rose gold embossing powder, then painted it up with pink and green. I then decided I wanted less contrast from the background and went in and did a dip dye look with the same pink colour from the floral itself.
Adding the remainder of the sentiment with black ink, I decided to take a black pen and add drop shadows to the embossed part of my sentiment.

Beautiful card! I love the colors you used and this awesome peony design!
Gorgeous!!! I love the watercolored flower and leaves – different from the stamped inked images. These stamps are so versatile and can be used with different mediums. Your card has such a pretty soft pink/coral coloring – Love it! The background coloring makes it all flow very well. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and amazing talent with us. Happy New Year! 🙂
GORGEOUS! Love the look you achieved in adding the dip die technique.
So elegant. You created another amazing card. I will have to check out the dip dye method.
The subtle background sets off this beautiful design perfectly!
WOW, glorious floral and beautiful blended background!
So beautiful, especially the simplicity of the “dip dye” wash with the same color. And the black pen shadow on the sentiment is brilliant.
This card is absolutely stunning! Your watercoloring of both the flower and the background is fabulous!
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
There is just something about the gold embossing powder on the card makes me happy. It brings the colors to the surface and the finish is what everyone receiving the card, they touch it and ask, how did you do that? Beautiful card here, very nice.
Love this new set and how you used in creating your beautiful work!
❤️ the background blending!
Wow! Your card using the new Altenew stamp is so elegant!
Beautiful! I am a sucker for any kind of bling, so I like your use of the rose gold embossing powder, the soft pink blends well with it.
Love the card you made. I like how you used the gold. Great card!
