Altenew’s 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop + Giveaway
Welcome to the Altenew 3rd anniversary blog hop!!! If you’re coming from Amy Lee’s blog, you’re in the right place!!
In celebration, I created a card using the Altenew Hibiscus Bouquet stamp set where I’ve used the center (solid) images to create watercolor effects.
The watercolor technique is simple, first I layered on light tones of ink, then stamped a second time with ink in a specific area for a darker tone. When everything was dry, I stamped the outline images overtop in black.
I’ve filmed a video that you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

Love the watercolors – such a gorgeous card!
Such pretty colours! Perfect for Mothers Day cards! Congrats to Altenew on turning three.
I love the way you splotched the ink on your flowers. Thank you for the tutorial. This is on my “must try” list
Your card is very pretty. Love the watercolor and the color. I may have to get this stamp set.
wow this is amazing!!!
Shari! Beautiful card. Spritzing an inner stamp is my favorite technique, but I never thought to let it dry and with the Misti restamp an area for a darker section. How fun!!!
very pretty. great tip to let the stamp sit for a bit before lifting it off the paper.
When I try to do sloppy water coloring it never looks this gorgeous, mine just actually looks sloppy!
I just fell in love with the card as soon as I saw it. So beautiful.
Very interesting technique!!
