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.
