Altenew May 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop
Welcome everyone!! Today we are celebration the Altenew May stamp and die release. If you’re coming from Virginia Lu’s blog, then you’re in the right place!
I’ve selected the Garden Silhouette and Rustic Linen stamps to work with for my cards. I’ve used Tim Holtz Distress Markers on the flowers to get a watercolor effect.
By using the markers, I was able to add small amounts of color to the blossom portions of the stamps. I’ve created a simple background for my tags by stamping the Rustic Linen stamp in white onto Desert Storm cardstock.
I used the vase from the Garden Silhouette stamp set with one single flower. My card is mini size where I’ve folded over a 4.25″x5.5″ panel.
I started with yellow tones of markers in the center of the flower and worked my way out with oranges and pink.
I’ve filmed a video of how I colored these flowers which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
There is an amazing line up of designers participating in this hop, I’ve included the complete list below.
Thanks so much for stopping by the Simon Says Stamp blog, your next stop on the hop is to Lilith Eeckels.
Enjoy!!

Love the linen look background, but the water color look in the stamping has me really excited. I love it when I can make a card that looks like I know how to water color. Way cool!
The softness and subtle colors on these is really lovely.

I always like the idea of using tags, but never know quite what to do with them in card making. This design is beautiful and simple and very inspiring for me to try something similar. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE the texture in this new background stamp and especially how you used faux watercolor pieces on the cards. Really nice!
