Welcome to the Altenew March 2024 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway! I’m excited you are here today. You can start the hop here at the beginning if you missed anyone along the way.
Let’s get into the cards I made today. For my first card I used the Rustic Rose Stamp and coordinating die. I started the card by first stamping the rose onto watercolor paper. Next I mixed colors from the new Altenew Tube Watercolors to create these beautiful colors for my rose. Mixing watercolors to create a custom color is a wonderful way to expand your color palette. 
Once the rose was completely dried, I used the coordinating die to cut it out. Now it was time to work on the background.
Using the same Altenew Cold Press Watercolor Paper, I made this background by mixing blues and grey watercolors together. For added texture I splattered on gold paint before I adhered the rose. For the sentiment, I decided to use the you are the best so this card could be given at any occasion. Finally, I trimmed down the panel and adhered it to a white card base.
Let’s get into the next card. This card is featuring the Paint and Stamp Butterflies from the Altenew March 2024 release. I stamped the images in a very light grey in for a no-line watercolor look. For each butterfly, I carefully painted it in a color and allowed the next color to blend a little into the next one. I love a cool rainbow feel on a card.
Once I was finished painting each butterfly, I splattered the coordinating color above it to give it a whimsical look and added just a touch below each butterfly was well.
A simple sentiment and a black cardbase really finished this card off nicely. Now it’s time for the giveaways.
