Hi, Friends!

Welcome to an all new Release Blog Hop for Altenew! This month’s products are wonderful and I hope you’ll enjoy my project today using the Everlasting Happiness stamp set. The images are large and don’t fully fit on an A2-sized card – but they lend for creative layouts, and of course, larger cards.

I’ve decided to watercolor with Tombow Dual Brush Pens for today’s card using no-line coloring. I first stamped the images using a light ink on Bristol Smooth cardstock, then I applied some ink directly to the cardstock in the areas where I wanted the color more concentrated (in the nooks and crannies or outer edges of petals). Then using a lightly damp brush, I pulled the color out and blended moving towards the white/lighter areas of the petal I was working on. It takes a lot of time working through each one, but I love how it turns out and Tombow’s intensity in color.

After I was done with the images, I outlined everything with a gray marker – then blended that out just a tad to give the images faux dimension. For some additional interest, I splattered the entire panel with watered-down black and white acrylic paint. The floral centers are dabbed with some gold Nuvo drops and the sentiment is embossed and matted over black cardstock to frame it.
