Hi friends!

I have a special project to share today. I’ve been wanting to paint a special picture as a gift for a friend’s mom for months now and because I’ve been busy or for various other reasons, I put it off for a while. When the Altenew Stampwheel 2.0 was introduced, I told couldn’t put off the project any longer.

Last week was Ma’s birthday (my friend’s mom, who I think is very special and call Ma, too). So now’s the perfect time to share this project with you!

The Altenew Stampwheel 2.0 is upgraded with the following changes:
-larger workspace with a detachable side to accommodate larger stamps, stencils, or paper (9″ x 9″ compared to the original 8″ x 8″)
-precision inch scales (on both sides)
-high-quality photopolymer Sticky Mat

With this new Altenew Stampwheel 2.0, I was able to use a full sheet of Arches Watercolor paper for my gift idea. Removing the right side of the platform extended my worksurface so I could flip and rotate my paper or stamp to elongate the floral images. For the images above, I used stamps from the Billowing Peonies, Leaf Canopy, and Poppy Garden sets. With no-line watercoloring, it’s important to be able to stamp the images multiple times in order to get the impression needed to see lines, so a stamp platform like this is needed. I used a sentiment from the Billowing Peonies set in the photos above, but didn’t glue it down – just to show you that you can create something beautiful to frame just like this!

Ma loves red – so I looked up images of a KitchenAid Mixer and enlarged it on my computer so I could partially trace and draw it onto the watercolor panel. Arches Watercolor Paper is THICK – so it wasn’t an easy task, but I think it turned out well and to scale!

I wrote an quote on the back for her with my handlettering before framing it and mailing it off to her. I’ve never done anything like this and I’m glad this project worked out, thanks to the Altenew Stampwheel 2.0!
