Welcome to the Altenew Paint-A-Flower: White Swan Echinacea Outline Stamp Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Natalie’s blog. This blog hop is hosted by Altenew. I hope you are inspired by the hop to create a beautiful masterpiece using this new stamp. Let’s get into my card for today.
This beautiful stamp making a striking centerpiece on your cards. The designers and guest designers will show you just how much fun it is to create with this stamp. Starting off my card, I stamped the image in black ink onto watercolor paper. Using the Altenew Spring Watercolor Brush Markers I colored in this beautiful image. These markers are awesome for simple watercoloring.
I watercolored the flowers first and fuzzy cut them out. Now it was time to set these aside and work on my background. To create the background I started off with a piece of green cardstock. Next I pulled out my Leaf Bed stencil and Altenew Moss ink to stencil on the leaves background. I love this stencil so much for creating simple backgrounds for cards.
I used more Moss ink towards the bottom of the panel and kept the top a little lighter. Next I used the Moss ink to saturate a piece of green cardstock to create a panel for my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat set it with Altenew White Embossing Powder.
To finish off the card, I trimmed down my panel smaller to fit onto an A2 card panel. Using foam tape I popped up the flowers and placed them on the card. I also used foam tape to pop up the sentiment as well. I really love who this card turned out. Next on the hop is Jaycee. I’ve also included the entire hop list in case you get lost along the way.

![Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete my holiday card series this year. The strain of sitting in my craft room for long periods of time is causing my back to endure more pain. In August I had my second back surgery in 18 months and was hopeful that my back pain would be resolved. My healing process has been a LOT SLOWER than I had anticipated and while trying to rush back to crafting, I am not doing my body any good.
With that being said, I am trying to keep my spirits positive and create the best I can right now. That means limiting my time in my room and resting my body. On top of everything I ended up with Covid a month ago and I still have lingering side effects. However I have a strong faith and I know this is just a hiccup in the road of life. Things will be better, my body will heal and I will be refreshed to return to the crafting I have loved for over 20 years. Feel free to catch up on my precious holiday card series in my playlist to keep you going on your holiday cards. Link In bio.
I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and let's bring in the New Year healthy! Until then, stay safe and I'll see you back here soon!
P.S. I did try Amber's @ [17841400753513434:@damasklove] felt holiday wreath while sitting on the couch. Oh SOOO cozy!

I love how the white looks against the green background!
Love how easy you made this and love the fonts on the sentiments.
I love this card. I especially like the leaf bed stencil. It makes a really nice background for cards.
These show up so beautifully against a dark background with minimum coloring of the design, resulting in a quick card when one needs one!
Beautiful green background, makes for a stunning card… I just love this stamp set
Hugs
Love how the white flowers pop on the gorgeous green background.
I love how delicate this flower is…not much fussing to be done. Love that background also. TFS
Really Beautiful card!!!!
Love that green you used, beautiful card!
Well, this beautiful card will make someone feel so much better when they open it! Love the bold yet simple flower, and it looks great against your stenciled base. Wonderful watercoloring, too! Another winner f rom ALTENEW for sure!
Absolutely stunning! I love those white flowers against the green!
Love the colors & background on this!
Love the white flower on the darker background! So pretty.
Lovely monochrome CAS design.
I like the background for these pretty flowers.
The green background is beautiful, but I wish it weren’t a get well card. Maybe I’m not speaking for anyone else but if I were sick I’d rather see any other color than vibrant green. “Hello”, “Happy Birthday” friendship or whatever., and you’ve got a super card!
I love this card so much!!!
pretty card and I love your background!
So pretty! Love the rich background!
Great combination with the stencil.
Very pretty card. Thanks for sharing
The flowers against the green panel really are a standout. I always forget about using colored cardstock for a monochromatic look. So nice!
Simply gorgeous!
Stunning card design! The background really makes the flowers pop
The colors you chose are beautiful! The background with the flower really pop!
The background is wonderful!
Beautiful card, I love that background.

Stunning Card and fussy cutting is immaculate. I love the background. Thank you for the inspiration.
Such an unexpected look for this set! Love that background.
So pretty.
Great card! Love the dramatic background and the white flowers- perfect balance.
Another great Paint A Flower stamp set. Gorgeous stenciled green background. Beautiful card! Thanks for sharing.
Love the flowers, they are absolutely stunning against the green backdrop. So 70’s yet modern.
Beautiful card!
I am hesitant to send flower cards to men. It is kinda silly but I do. This card is pretty but it does not feel overly feminine to me. That is a tough line to walk. Great work.
The green background is so pretty! I love your card!
Love those flowers popped up on that background! Thank you for the inspiration.
