Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Carnations & Woodless Watercolor Pencils Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

October 22, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m participating in the Altenew – Paint A Flower Sunflower blog hop today. You should have arrived here from Tania’s blog. The Paint A Flower Sunflower is absolutely stunning and creates beautiful cards. Let me share what I’ve created.

For my card today I used the newly released Woodless Watercolor Pencils and the Paint-A-Flower Sunflower. I love sunflowers so this stamp set was perfect for me to color. With the new woodless pencils that I am currently obsessed with it was easy to create a gorgeous card.

Stamping my image in brown ink, I pulled a few of the watercolor pencils out and began to add color to my image. I pulled color directly from the pencil and also by adding color directly to the paper. Mixing tones of orange, yellow and greens allowed my palette to rest easily on my off white watercolor paper.

I made sure to build up my color gradually instead of all at once. Making sure to heat set the color before adding more. Once I had the last round of color on my image I heat set it once again.

Wanting to pull in some brown from the watercolor panel, I trimmed down my watercolor paper and layered it on a piece of dark brown cardstock. I only allowed the brown color to peek through at the top and left side of the image. To finish off my card I stamped a sentiment from the Paint-A-Flower Sunflower set and added a few gold baubles. I placed my panel onto a white card base.

In case you thought your watercoloring collection couldn’t get any better, think again. Create stunning watercolor effects with our Woodless Watercolor Pencils! This set includes a wide range of beautiful, vibrant colors, and each pencil comes pre-sharpened and ready to use. You can either apply the color onto paper and blend with a wet brush, or pick it up with the brush directly from the pencil. The pigment dissolves smoothly, leaving no marks on the paper, and the colors can be easily mixed and layered for various effects.

This set contains 24 pencils that come in 24 unique colors. The Woodless Watercolor Pencil 24 set is $44.99 and well worth the price. Here is an color swatch so you can see the colors. If the woodless watercolor pencils are out of stock make sure to sign up for a back in stock notification email on a product page.

October 2020 Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop

October 19, 2020

Morning peeps. Today is the October 2020 Stand-Alone Dies Release blog hop for Altenew. Get ready for some beautiful dies to create with. You should have arrived here from Jaycee’s blog. Let’s get into the cards!

For my first card I used the Modern Fireplace Layering Die set. This die is perfect for those cozy at home cards. You can create your own fireplace and never have to put a hole in your walls. LOL Okay that was cheesy! I love this die as it’s like interior design for me.

I kept my card in a cool color tone with just a pop of color. Oh that beautiful JOY you see onto of the mantel was die cut using the new Linear Pathway Alpha Solid die set.

For the “tiles” in the fire place, I covered them with glossy accents to make them shiny. It’s like home design on a card. LOVE IT!

My next card was created by using the Linear Pathway Alpha Outline Dies. They work perfectly for a layered looked using the Linear Pathway Alpha Solid dies.

Creating a backdrop of my alpha dies was easy using the Birch Forest stamp from Altenew. To see this full stamp click here to see my post from a few weeks ago.

The letters were cut out of red glitter cardstock. I mean we all need some sparkle in our life right? Layering this panel on black cardstock really allow the panel to pop!
