Altenew August 2020 Release!

Hey everyone I am so excited to be joining Altenew for the August 2020 new release!

My first project I pulled out my Altenew Watercolours an stamped put these gorgeous flowers and painted them up!

I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and added them to a splashy background with Altenews typically stunning sentiments!

For my next project I wanted to create something super soft, so I stamped the outline of the Amarylis stamp the. Added some soft colour using Altenews watercolours again. I love using paints on projects.

I then filled in the background with some solid black and added a banner with the sentiment for this card. It is super simple and fast to bring together but packs slot of punch!

Don’t forget to check out the Altenew Blog to get to the start of this hop!

You should have got here from Reiko Tsuchida, and you have found the end of this fun hop!

Floral Mix Background

Hey all, I have been having a blast with my watercolours and gouache and things lately. Don’t worry the Gnome video is almost done, you will get to see that soon.

But today I pulled out a background set from Simon Says Stamp and did some no lines watercolouring with it. It seems to be my thing again lately!

This one probably took me about 3 hours to paint. It was a wonderful time, I love just mindlessly painting, it is always a good time!

Time to Fly

Hey all! Today I am here sharing a process video of a watercolour card using Power Poppy’s Time to Fly.

I love painting flowers, they are one of my favorite things, but the clock face in this image really spoke to me, so I had to paint it!

Building up colour through light layers is definitely the way I prefer to paint. I love starting out with light soft colours and building them up to get the depth of colour that I would like, as well as changing shades through glazing.

Hey everyone! Today I have a fun card and process video to share with you all featuring MFT Stamps Adventure is Calling (this stamp is retiring so get it while you can, link at the bottom of the post!)

I coloured our girl up with my copic markers, then fussy cut her out. Die cutting the hi using the Impact Alphabet dies on painted cork really looks awesome on this. Distress Oxide and a brick stencil (that I can no longer find online) made a fun background for her.
