Altenew’s 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Altenew, Shari Carroll

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.

  1. Absolutely wonderful video! I plan to buy the stamp and die and color video instructions. Thanks.

  2. Pretty pretty! Love the flowers popped up and with a touch of color. I might be able to do that! I’m not much of a colorer, so this inspires me! :)

  3. Thanks so much for doing the video! I learned so much from it! Your card is beautiful! Loving this blog hop! So much talent and inspiration here! Thanks for sharing yours!

  4. Thanks for sharing your water color technique in a video. It’s very helpful to see how you did this beautiful card.

  5. I love this stamp! It is on my list of “needs.” Now after seeing your designs I must have it now!

  6. Loved your technique. The card is beautiful. I liked the addition of the stitched rectangle. Allowed the sentiment to pop too.

  7. Altenew makes it art so easy ! Congratulations for 3 inspirational years of creating life in stamps !

  8. What lovely flowers! I find I’m always picking floral stamps and ideas in most of my ideas. Thanks for the inspiration

  9. Such a beautiful card! I really love the watercolor look and since I don’t have that talent, this set could help me achieve it with this technique. It would make a beautiful Mother’s Day card.
