Hi, Friends!
Altenew is hosting a Watercolor Therapy Blog Hop with Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker today to inspire crafters to find joy through coloring! Be sure to check out the Altenew Blog for details! The current 30 Coloring Challenge is running through 5/7/20 – if you’re playing along and coloring, be sure to use the hashtag #thedailymarker30day so others can see your work!

For my project today, I watercolored the Flower Garden set. I stamped out all the images I wanted to paint with Antique Linen Distress Ink to do no-line watercoloring with the Altenew Artists’ Watercolors.

When I was done, I die-cut all the images and decided I would create and arrangement to frame rather than making a card.
Paint colors used: cherry Bloosom, Red Sunset, Shades of Purple, Green Meadows, Tropical Forest, Green Hills.

I attached my images to an 8″x8″ piece of cardstock to hang inside a shadowbox and used foam adhesive to give it all more dimension. I really love the way it turned out and I hope you like it!
