Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Anemone Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

22 May 2020


Welcome to this month’s Paint-a-Flower Release Blog Hop. This is your last stop on the hop. If you have missed the other stops, you can start the hop on the https://altenewblog.com/PAF-Anemone.



I have loved all the PAF sets and have enjoyed colouring them with my watercolours. Today were are also releasing refills for the Altenew Artist Markers so I decided to use my markers to colour the image. 

I started by stamping the floral image with Obsidian Black ink and let it dry a couple of hours. Then I pulled out some of my favourite Artist Markers and started colouring.

Once I had finished colouring the image, I cut it out by hand. I took a piece of patterned paper from the Summer Garden 6X6 paper pack. I also pulled out a striped patterned paper and drew a border around the edge with the Grape Vine Artist Marker.

Assembling the card was super easy and all I had to do was add a sentiment and some pretty seauins.

Welcome to the May 2020 Washi Tape Release and Blog Hop. If you have hopped over from Norine Borys's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.
For today's hop, I created a layout and 4 cards. These washi tapes are AMAZING and creating with them is super easy and fun. Geo Rainbow Washi Tape

My first two cards are rainbow cards which I created with: 
  • Narrow Rainbow Washi Tape
  • Geo Rainbow Washi Tape
  • Brushed Grid Washi Tape
  • Script Words Die
  • Layered Medallions Cover Die B






The two following cards use the Gold Splatter Blush Washi tape. 
Below I combined it with the Just Jasmine Stamp Set. I stamped the branch in black and added some washi for colour.

My next card came together in minutes.
For my background, I used the Grand Stream Washi Tape and popped a heart on top created with one of the Halftone Hearts Dies. I used a sentiment from the coordinating Stamp Set. It comes with coordinating Die so it is super easy to cut out. 


My last project is a layout. I wanted it to be super colourful and vibrant so I used lots of Rainbow Washi Tapes.

I love how easy it is to customise elements with washi tape. You can create alphabet letters, embellishments, backgrounds and more. 





You can see how the layout came together in the video below.
