Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Tulips Outline Stamp Set & More Release Blog Hop + Giveaway



Hello everyone!! Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas!!

It is the 22nd of December, which means a new Altenew Paint-A-Flower stamp set for subscription holders. This post is part of the Blog Hop celebrating the new PAF release hosted by Altenew! There are a few other goodies being released today as well.

Dreamy Tulips Stamp & Gel Pen & Eraser Bundle

Take a closer look at the new Flower Gel Pen Set - Calla Lily . There are 3 adorable
 Black ink Gel pens in this set, with Calla Lilly flopsy tops!
I  Stamped the part of new Paint-A-Flower: Tulips in Gold pigment ink onto a tag then quickly added a hand written note with the Gel Pen.

Paint-A-Flower: Tulips Outline Stamp Set 

I painted the Paint-A-Flower: Tulips Outline Stamp Set for my main project today. I LOVE the mix of flowers and foliage in this stamp set!
Stamping first on the 9"x12" Watercolor Paper Pad, then trimmed to an A2 size card front, I then used the Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set for a No-lined watercolor look. This took several days to complete, allowing for dry time between coloring sessions for intense depth of colors and details.

Once the cardfront was finished, I trimmed it down even more and stamped the sentiment with Obsidian Ink, wrapped some metallic thread around it, and popped it onto a Neenah Desert Storm Cardbase,
I painted this in particular for a dear friend I've made on IG. Her birthday was earlier this month and I'm hopping it will arrive to her safely!
*******
And next, I wanted to see how the Retractable Eraser worked, so I did a little pencil shading on this second card.

Inked in Silverstone Crisp ink and colored with 2B and HB pencils, I found the Retractable Eraser to come in handy for cleaning up smudges and blending a few unruly pencil strokes.

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



Welcome Friends! I'm excited to be part of the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Snowdrops Release Blog Hop. Take a look at this sweet as sugar Snowdrops Die cut set!! 

Layering guide

Cutting and layering this Craft-A-Flower set was reminiscent of playing with paper dolls. The drape of each bloom/Drop and stem is completely up to you, the crafter. With a little kiss of Embossing Powder on the background, one can almost imagine the glimmer of snow behind those Snowdrops!

Products used for this card:
Gradient Cardstock: Green Meadows
3D Embossing Folder: Beautiful Bergenia
Washi Tape: Delicate Stripes
Embossing Powder: Translucent Pearl

A quick swipe of the Embossing Crisp Dye Ink on top of the card front panel dry embossed with  Beautiful Bergenia 3D Embossing Folder then sprinkled with the Translucent Pearl Embossing Powder adds pop of interest and texture to the card. 

Hope you enjoyed my card for today. Be sure to check out all the inspiration on the hop!
