Hello friends!
Altenew has an exciting new monthly subscription feature this year called Paint-A-Flower (PAF).. similar to the Build-A-Flower (BAF). There will be a new outline flower stamp set each month that can be painted to practice your watercoloring skills. AND just because it says paint doesn't mean we can't color it as well with Artist Markers!
I'm honored to be guest designing for this first Paint-A-Flower Blog Hop starting on the Altenew Blog! Introducing the PAF:Poppy!
I have three cards created using three different coloring mediums.
As I'm still learning to use watercolors, I wanted to begin by painting with the 36 pan set from Altenew. Then I used the watercolor brush markers, and finally, I wanted to show a third option of no-line coloring using the Artist Markers.
So to have a true comparison of mediums, I tried to stick with the same colors from each: Watercolor pans, Watercolor Brush, and Artist Markers. Altenew has the unique system throughout their coloring mediums where everything has same name referring to colors throughout their product line
Take a closer look at each card:
For this first card I used the Watercolors from the 36 pan set after heat embossing the PAF:POPPY as well as several leaves in Black. Then I fussy cut around the poppy and leaves and popped them onto a background stenciled with the Square Weave Pattern Stencil.
Colors used from the 36 Pan set:
Fresh Lemon
Sunkissed
Purple Wine
Mountain Mist
Sea Glass
Bamboo
Evergreen
*******
This next one is Colored with the Artist Markers in the No-line coloring technique after first stamping the PAF:POPPY in Buttercream Crisp ink.
Artist Markers used:
Warm Sunshine
Sunkissed
Purple Wine
Mountain Mist
Sea Glass
Bamboo
Evergreen
*******
And for the last one, I used the Watercolor Brush Markers to color a wild bunch of PAF:POPPIES.
Watercolor Brush Marker Colors used:
Fresh Lemon
Sunkissed
Purple Wine
Turquoise
Lime
The Paint-A-Flower stamp sets are released monthly and celebrate the beauty of a wide variety of flowers!

Gorgeous-ness creative and inspiration projects! Coloring is absolutely stunning!
Beautiful cards! I LOVE the look of the poppy with no-line coloring!
Cheery, happy and pretty! What's not to love? :)
Excellent technique. Your use of the watercolor brushes is impressive.
Beautiful cards! I love all of the cards but my favorite is the brush marker one. The colors are so vibrant and you made it look so easy to create. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Amazing cards. I really love the last card. The vibrant colors are gorgeous.
The effects you got are outstanding. And again, thank you for taking the time to make us a video -- it really helps and I watch them several times.
These are all beautiful and it's fun to see the results from different mediums. I was especially interested in the techniques using the watercolor markers since I just purchased some recently. Thanks for the video and this Paint-A-Flower series is perfect for trying different techniques.
Absolutely gorgeous, all of them. The last one is my favorite. It really looks like a painting!
Your beautiful cards are perfect examples of how one stamp can be used to create so many different looks. Thank you for sharing.
Your coloring is lovely!
All of your cards are beautiful, but the first one is my favorite!
Your cards are gorgeous. I think the one done in the video is my favorite. But it's very difficult to pick one.
I think all three are fabulous. I just learned today that poppies grow in many colors. I thought they were only red! Thanks for sharing these beauties.
Absolutely stunning! I can't wait to get my hands on this set. I hope there will be a group photo place for everyone to share their work if there isn't a blog hop for each set! I just love this idea!
Hello LauraJane, you sure have been busy and I adore all you cards but the soft yellow is my favorite. Love the softness and I think it brings out the beauty of the poppy. Thank you for sharing and loved the video.
I knew you would do YELLOW!!! And it is amazing! WOW WOW WOW
I don't know if I could choose a best between the three cards. Each background and trim color gives each card a different look. It would probably be the last one though.
All of your Poppy cards are gorgeous but I really love the watercolor brush card, the colors are fabulous!
Wow just wow! I love these cards! This stamp set is just awesome!! Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous cards! I love the no-line card, but my favourite is the last one because of the bright colours! Amazing work!
Just amazing love the highlights to bring each color to a artistic level I hope to achieve.
WOW are these gorgeous! Love love love them ♥

WOW! Your cards are so dramatic and elegant at the same time. I really love them all.

I like the different showing for each of these cards. The video explaining the coloring process was very helpful.
Your colouring is amazing--those flowers are so real they just pop off the page.

Such lovely coloring on all three. Good examples of the stamp's versatility.
Your watercolor is absolutely stunning and the retro sets are a must have!
Gorgeous variety of cards. Love the soft background of the first card and your yellow poppies are perfectly coloured - so beautiful and vibrant!
Great cards, and I appreciate the time you took to video your process for us. So helpful to those of us who are not quite confident of our watercolor skills! Can't wait to get these new stamps into my stash!
All of your cards are beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing
