Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (over $2,000 in Total Prizes)

April 6, 2022

Welcome to the Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3! This is a hop with over $2,000 in total prizes. You should have arrived here from Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog. I have so much to share with you today so let’s get started.

 

 

My anniversary card for the Altenew hop was created using the Paint-A-Flower Sweet Pea stamp set. This stamp is so precious and easy to color. The sweet pea holds the symbolic meaning of blissful pleasure. Its upright, clumping flower clusters also symbolize good wishes, friendship, kindness, and goodbyes. It’s such a beautiful flower to gift someone who might be moving away or as a gift of new friendship. A simple watercolor was with the Altenew Woodless Watercolor Pencils made coloring this flower so easy.

 

A simple sentiment offset from the sweet pea keeps the card simple and elegant. With a light splatter of gray watercolor creating just a little texture.

Clean and simple with just a hint of color from the pencils and this card was almost complete. To finish off the card I trimmed down the white panel so I could have a midtone gray card stock peek behind the panel before I placed it on a white card base.

Beautiful Watercoloring With Hero Arts Moon Goddess

February 21, 2022

Hey everyone. I’m excited to share today’s tutorial with you. I love the Hero Arts Moon Goddess for beautiful watercoloring. Using liquid watercolors helps me to expand my palette easily. You can mix colors right on a glass mat to the strength or lightness you want depending on how much water you use.

For today’s card my liquid watercolors really came in handy. Being able to create a custom color to my liking was key with the background of this card.

Liquid Watercolor

 

By heat embossing the image, I was also able to control the placement of the watercolor without it going into areas I didn’t want it to flow to. Remember heat embossing locks in each line to a little well that keeps the color in that area.

I mean this card gives me all the watercolor feels. Absolutely love how it turned out.

You can watch the tutorial here or you can catch it on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate links are used at no cost to you.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope I’ve inspired you to pull out your Hero Arts Liquid watercolors and play. You can achieve beautiful watercoloring with the Hero Arts Moon Goddess stamp.

Spotlight Watercoloring

February 10, 2022

It’s so easy to create a beautiful spotlight on your card. Todays’ tutorial will show you how to create that gorgeous focal point by heat embossing, taping off your area to spotlight and simple watercoloring.  You can create this style of design with any background stamp and medium.

Easy watercoloring in layers makes this card so beautiful. When playing your tape, make sure it is adhered well to your paper to make sure water doesn’t get underneath where you don’t want to get color.

 

 

Remember this style of design can be used with any background stamp and any medium.

 

 

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you,

 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial. I’ll be back with another tutorial soon.
