Paint-A-Flower: Clematis Outline Stamp Set

I stamped the PAF Clematis twice, with minimal masking, using a light gray ink on an A2 size cad front. Then spent some quiet time coloring with Artist Markers for a No-Line look.


*******
And MORE exciting news...MORE beautiful colors of Artist Markers...my favorite alcohol markers, the ONLY alcohol markers I am able to use due to low fumes.

Take a look at the Two new Artist Marker Sets!!

Altenew Wondrous World Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway



Hello and welcome to my stop on the Altenew Wondrous World Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop! I have the full Blog Hop list at the end of this post, so sit back and enjoy the creations I have crated for you today.


There's a lovely mix of Stencils and Stand Alone Dies in this release. Below is a sunny bouquet featuring the Climber Flowers Die Set nestled on the edge of a Simple Frame 3D Embossing Folder & Mask Stencil Bundle. The sweet Branches and Berries Die Set is the perfect filler foliage to the larger blooms of the Climber Flowers set.
*******

For this next one I plated with the Narrow Brick Stencil  and embossing paste for the background of  Branches and Berries Die Set  tucked around a white bloom from Super Stiped Flower Die

*******

WOW! is the Floral Lace Die ever a bold beauty of a large almost 10 inches long! I trimmed it up into smaller bits to flow over the entire panel of the largest Nesting Slim Rectangles Die Set. The entire die can be seen in the photos below.


*******

One of my favorite ways of creating with the Altenew's 3D embossing Folders is to use them as a guide for No-Line coloring. After dry embossing the Flowery Field 3D Embossing Folder onto 110lb CS, I colored with Artist Markers.

And I adore the cheery GREENS in the new washi tapes! They accent the simply dry embossed Daisies 3D Embossing Folder nicely!

Altenew February 2021 Watercolor Coloring Book & Watercolor Brushes Release Blog Hop



Some days I feel like watercoloring, yet don't want to get my stamps out and wait for the ink to dry ect. So this new Watercolor Coloring Book from Altenew is just the ticket! 
I remember an IGstories post from Tasnim, over a year ago, where she was playing with floral images on her Ipad or some sort, and I asked if it was for a coloring book :) Tiny hints of what you would like to see in the Altenew product line is a great way of potentially making it happen. 
This Coloring book is cleverly designed with many of my favorite floral images! 

I'm thrilled to be part of the Watercolor Coloring Book & Watercolor Brushes Release Blog Hop! The full Blog Hop List is at the end of this post. 

Take a look at the new
Watercoloring just got a whole lot more fun! Make way for a brand-new, specially-designed Altenew original product - our Watercolor Coloring Book. Recognize the florals? This gorgeous coloring book features popular Altenew flowers in beautiful compositions. You will enjoy coloring 12 floral designs with both black and gray outlines. Coloring on the light gray outlined images will give you a no-line watercolor look, while coloring on the black print will give you a stamped look. The high-quality watercolor paper is thick enough to avoid warping and ripping when you color in the designs with your favorite inks and watercolors. This coloring book will open up a whole world of crafting possibilities for you. Use the pages for framed home decor projects, turn them into cards, or simply have fun coloring the day away!

Here is my first project using a Black lined image page from the new Coloring Book and Watercolor Brush Refills along with Artists' Watercolor Round Brushes 

After the messy watercoloring was thoroughly dry, I took the Brush Fine Liner pen and added more doodle lines to the image. I simply retraced and double lined some petals and leaves for a whimsical look. Trimmed the panel down and mounted it onto a stenciled A2 cardbase.

Featuring:

*******

For the next Watercolor Coloring Book Gray outlined image page, I used the Artists' Watercolor Detailed Brushes  and Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set for a No-Line coloring look.

I left the panel untrimmed in hopes of framing it at a later time.
