Hey friends! Today I am thrilled to be participating in Altenew’s Fresh Start Blog Hop! You can see the entire Fresh Start Collection here!
I have a couple projects to share with you all today, but I will kick things off with this gem using the Airbrushed Flowers Stamps, dies and stencil.
I started off by inking up the background panel in a brown gradient, then adding some silhouettes of the flowers and leaves in the same brown in the background.
I then stamped out the flowers and leaves on some watercolor paper and painted them up using the Altenew Artist’s Watercolours and die cut those out layering them on the card front. Keeping the sentiment simple with a little Hello to to finish it off!
For my second card I white embossed the large floral in the Enchanted Roses stamps set on some kraft coloured cardstock.
I then kept it simple using Tea Party and Green Hills mixed with a little Green Meadows to paint them out. Kraft paper does not take watercolour as well as watercolour paper, but I kept the water to a minimum and it worked out so well! Stamping “Live” with the Limestone ink and outlining it with some white really set it off, and a small flag pannel finished off the rest of the sentiment!

Your first card is absolutely gorgeous. The background is just perfect for those beautifully watercolored flowers.
Your watercolored Airbrushed Flowers are ethereal! Just gorgeous.
Beautiful cards. Love the colors you used in the first card.
Wow the way you painted the Airbrush flowers is breath taking, I love the colors and intensity!
I love the Airbrushed Flowers stamp set
Love the look of the card with the Kraft paper, it’s so pretty.
Thanks for sharing!
Both of these are beautiful, but you are definitely right in the first one being a gem. I rarely think to use much brown, but you really made it work.
Love your background techniques….sometimes it’s the backgrounds that draw your eyes in! Beautiful!
Watercoloring is a beautiful medium. Your cards are lovely. Especially the Enchanted Roses.
I particularly like the silhouettes in the background and the muted colors of your Airbrushed Flowers.
WOW, the first card with the gorgeous flowers is just incredible. I would love to be able to color like that.
So beautiful!
Your airbrushed flowers are beautiful! They look so vintage to me! Thank you for sharing, both are super nice.
Very pretty
Wow! Amazing cards. Love the way you created the background for the first one and the watercoloring on kraft for the second one. Thanks for sharing!
That brown ombre with those muted flowers is one of the most beautiful color arrangements that I have seen in a long time. This project is breath-taking.
OMG! The coloring is incredible!
I am blown away with the water coloring and stamping of your first card! So amazing and beautiful. I just love those soft, antique like colors.
OMG, your watercoloring is amazing, so glad I found you w/ Alt New!

Great cards. Love the slimline version.
I just love your first card. I forget what you call that type of color: muted. So soft and beautiful! TFS!
Oh my! The soft colors on that slimline card are just beautiful. Great cards and a great release.
Stunning cards!!! The colouring of your flowers on the first is phenomenal!
The softly colored “airbrushed roses” stamp on the brown monochromatic background looked like they were made for each other.
Oh Jessie, your water coloring creation, especially, just blows me away! So very ethereal.
Wow!!! Stunning cards!!!!
Wow…your first card is beautiful. So unique!! Thanks for sharing.
The leaves for the background look awesome. I like these color samples.
I hit the enter by accident and it cut off my name.
The white stamped flowers give it such a softer look. Love it!
Your cards are amazing, Jessie!
Both of your cards are gorgeous but that first one… I love it!!!

Oh, Jesse, your watercoloring. Sigh. How I wish I had your gift. But it is a blessing you share with us. I just stare at it for a couple minutes because it lifts my spirits. I would frame the first card.
Your cards are beautiful. The more I see of the rose spray. The more I love it.
