Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums & Craft Your Life Apron Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

New Craft Your Life Apron in the shop!!



I'm excited to be part of the Blog Hop celebrating the release of the Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums Outline Stamp Set and Craft Your Life Apron at Altenew.

I have two different versions of coloring this new PAF: Spider Mum stamp set. Take a look!

 I used the crisp inks to ink up the Spider Mum in the MISTI tool, gave it a little spritz of water and stamped for a very quick watercolor look.  Did little bit of fussy cutting. Then added it to an ink blended background  and wrapped it with some metallic thread, stamped the sentiment in Evergreen ink. And adhered it on top of the Stacked Diamond Cover die.




And for the second card I left the PAF stamp in my mini MISTI, inked it up with the watercolor brush markers for some more detailed work and then use the fine liner pens for a quickly drawn frame. 




The Fine Liner Pens and Apron would make a great gift for any Crafty Friends! Plus that 2 in 1 Precision Glue Pen for all those tiny embellishment needs.

I enjoyed both cards. The colors on the second card are favorites of mine so I gravitated to this one and I also liked the way you used fine line frames to draw you into this card. Nice composition on both.

Thank you for showing two very different looks of the same stamp! The colors make them different, but the outlining really sets them apart as different styles.
