Hello everyone! Welcome to my stop on the Bloghop celebrating the release of the PAF: Iris, Watercolor Essential Set, and Watercolor Papers from Altenew.
Watercolor Essential 12 Pan Set |
I had the pleasure of creating with the new watercolor papers along with the new 12 pan Essentials set. The Paint-A-Flower: Iris was an great set to test both papers and colors. The Watercolor Essential 12 Pan Set colors are vibrant, smooth, and mix beautifully!
I have made 4 cards for today's post.
Featuring:
*******
Below you can see several of the Watercolor Essential 12 Pan Set colors on the new Watercolor Paper Pad (9"x12")...100% cotton 300lbs/gm, Cold Pressed. This paper has tooth on both sides and didn't show any signs of pilling after working with it.
After creating a rainbow BG, I heat embossed the PAF:Iris with Antique Gold EP.
Featuring:
*******
Watercolor Paper Set (A2 loose sheets) is smooth on both sides, and bright white. 50% cotton, Cold Pressed, 140lbs 300g/m this A2 sized paper works differently than the 100% cotton paper PAD. I liked how easily the pigment moves on this paper.
For this next card, I sloshed color from the new Essentials 12 pan set on my stamping mat then smooshed the paper for a quick background. then I stamped the Iris several times with crisp inks and added some loose watercoloring for more definition.

Check out my Video sharing my first impressions of the Watercolor Full Release Bundle. Watercoloring the two cards above.

Love the way you used the watercolors on these cards. So lovely!
Beautiful watercoloring cards!💜
Your cards are beautifully colored. I have the 36 pan set of Altenew watercolors and the colors in this set are included! I love them because they are vibrant and match Altenew color families! Your cards are gorgeous and this Iris stamp set is sure to be a favorite.
What beautiful cards! I love the colors! They go together so well. I really like your backgrounds.
Iris's offer so many options of colors! You did a fantastic job with your colors on these cards. Thank you for the inspiration!
I just love your designs and colors. Very inspiring.
Your coloring on the last two is simply
spectacular. They look like paintings.
Gorgeous cards. The coloring is just fabulous. I really love the last card.
The pinks and purples look wonderful together, just like in a real garden. I have several colors together.
Gorgeous watercoloring!! Love this new paint a flower set.
Wow, wow, wow!! These are all sooooo gorgeous!! Just in awe of your water coloring abilities!
Your watercoloring is outstanding! These are all sooooo beautiful!
Love the background ideas! TY!
Gorgeous designs Laura Jane! Love this PAF set! Thanks for the inspiration!
Laura Jane, thank you so much for sharing about the different watercolor papers. Your watercoloring is very lovely and inspirational.
Wonderful watercolor examples. I like the contrast achieved.
I always loo forward to your stop on the hop. Your cards are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing the video. Stay healthy.
Beautiful!
Lovely irises. The cards are so delicate and pure elegance!
Beautiful cards. Love all the different watercolor techniques you used. ♥
How beautiful! I really love your no line water color ones!
Wow! Fantastic watercolor work! Love all your cards, your coloring is awesome! :)
Your cards are stunning. Beautiful colors and coloring. Love that beautiful iris.
Gorgeous! I love the no line ones -- they look just like you painted it without a stamp.
Beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing ☺
Beautiful cards. Thank you for the video.
I love how you painted that Mothers Day Card. I cannot wait for my set to arrive!
I just love this stamp set. It's complicated and forces one to really think about how an iris is constructed. Your coloring really highlights how complex an iris is built. Beautifully done. I have two other iris stamps and neither holds a candle to Altenew's iris. Thank you for sharing your projects. Staying home, crafting and staying safe. Stay safe :)
Beautiful cards! But besides that, I REALLY appreciate the pointers you gave about the papers. I have fallen in love with watercolor, but I am definitely a beginner. May God richly bless you and keep you all safe and healthy!
Beautiful flower cards! Love the water coloring and color choices. So inspirational.
Absolutely beautiful! The gold emboss looked great - simple and elegant. The colors on the watercolor cards really popped and were so vibrant! Great inspiration!!
