Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Paeonia Japonica & Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

22 July 2020

Welcome to the July 2020 Paint-a-flower Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Virginia Lu 's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog .

Today Altenew is releasing the PAF Japonica and new Watercolor Brush Marker (Autumn Festival Set). I love the Watercolor Brush Markers and these colours will complement my collection even more. Using them with the Paint-a-Flower sets making colouring super easy.

For today's hop, I created I colourful card by stamping the floral image in full at the bottom of the card base and part of it at the top.

I added in colour with the markers and blended it out with a watercolour brush and water. It is super easy and really fun to do.

I really didn't want to overthink the process and went with quick colouring and blending. To finish off the card I added three yellow enamel dots which pick up the colour in the centres of the flowers.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Dahlia Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

7 July 2020

Welcome to July's Craft-A-Flower Dahlia Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Virginia Lu's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

The Craft-A-Flower sets are such fun and I especially like this one because of it's larger bloom. I used a subtle patterned paper from the Celebrate 6X6 paper pad and added some older cardstock papers in terracotta and pink colours.

I started by layering the darkest shade, then the lightest and then the in-between colour. For the leaves I went with some hand-painted ones to contrast with the die-cut flower.

To finish the card off, I added a sentiment stamped on to a label from the Dot Labels Stamp Set and popped some enamel dots on.

Altenew + Pinkfresh Studio “Celebrate” Collaboration Blog Hop Details + Giveaway

26 June 2020

Welcome to the June 2020 Collaboration Blog Hop with Pink Fresh Studio. If you have come from Jung AhSang's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

The Celebrate collection is fun and above all is full of floral images and designs. It is perfect for documenting any occasion. I love anything floral and even though I only have sons I put florals on everything. The colours are right up my alley.

I created two 12x12 layouts.

The first layout combines a watercolour washed background 12x12 paper that I broke up by adding a vertical strip of floral paper and some torn washi tape. I then cut out a floral shape from one of the 6x6 papers and added some die cut embellishments. So easy and quick to make.

The die cut elements are varied and make crafting super easy. I love that there are several types of embellishments ranging from arrows, frames to floral images.

For my second layout, I used the Celebrate Today Stamp set and stamped it onto a colourful 6x6 paper. I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I wanted to keep it simple to focus on the lovely floral bouquet on the "Celebrate This Story" patterned paper.

You can see how I created this layout in the video below.

PRIZES
