Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Hydrangea Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW PAINT-A-FLOWER: HYDRANGEA RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Amber's blog!   - a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience-.


Today, Altenew is releasing a new Paint-a-Flower, meet HYDRANGEA... this flower is so beautiful and you are going to enjoy using all types of coloring mediums to detail it.  Here is what i have created for today's hop:




I chose to stamped the PAF: HYDRANGEA with Obsidian Black ink on the left of the layout so that it covered the left side of the page. 


I used the Altenew Artist Watercolor palette to detail the blooms in lilac, light blue and a hint of green in the centers of the blooms.  Once i finished, i used my typewriter to add my lines of journal and added the stamped title using the sentiments of the stamp set.




To make sure the picture is the focal point in this page, i cut the cardstock to form a large tag, and this time, i stamped the PAF: HYDRANGEA images at the bottom of the tag with Black Obsidian ink.   This time i added a wash of the colors used in the left side of the spread, and added splatters of the colors to both sides of the page to tie them together.



Just love how this came together so easily.  The new Paint-A-Flower: HYDRANGEA is sure to become a new favorite in my list of Altenew products.  Make sure you get yours.

One morning I was browsing on the internet and I saw many comments of how Mr. Adriano has been helping people through the blank ATM card and changed many life's so I decided to give it a go and that's how my life changed for good. Get your blank atm card now and become the best money maker in the world through the ATM machine anywhere in the world without trace or risk of being caught and invest in businesses with financial freedom. I got mine delivered yesterday by DHL and I have used the card to withdraw $10,000 today for free. Get it now by contacting Mr. Adriano through his email address: adrianohackers01@gmail.com
