This month's PAINT-A-FLOWER: ROSA FLORIBUNDA is gorgeous.  So easy to color with your favorite medium. I  just wanted to use the flower to create a new entry in my journal:




I heat embossed the image of the PAF- RIOSA FLORIBUNDA onto white cardstock with Antique Gold embossing powder.  I wanted the texture of the stamp image to pop in each cluster.

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Chamomile Outline Stamp Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 


Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW PAINT-A-FLOWER: CHAMOMILE OUTLINE STAMP SET RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Joylita Dsouza's blog.  A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.



Today we are celebrating Altenew's PAINT-A-FLOWER: CHAMOMILE Outline Stamp set.  Though, I am a coffee lover, I can seriously say that this stamp set is awesome, and if you are a tea drinker, then it is amazing!   I love the small details and cup design, and decided to use it for a new memory keeping layout ( sometimes, stamps and stories just line up!)




I used both of the images to help me tell the story of the day.     I used the large tea cup design to create a journal card for my spread.  




I stamped the image on heavy cardstock with Obsidian ink, then color it using Altenew's Artist Markers.  While the color set completely, I cut a 3x4 card from white cardstock;  using an ink blending tool, I added a bit of color to the background.  



I fussy cut the image, and attached it to the colored card.  The sentiment comes from the same stamped set.   I repeated the same procedure for the other image, but decided to stamp the image with Frayed Leaf mixed media instead (this softens the edges of the image)




I love how the page turned out.  I cannot wait to see what you all create with the new PAINT-A-FLOWER: CHAMOMILE Outline Stamp set.   




Remember you can always subscribe to the Monthly PAF plan, and receive the stamp at your doorstep for a lower monthly cost.  Click here for  more info.

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


Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW PAINT-A-FLOWER: ANEMONE RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Altenew Card Blog  - a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this pos-, and i hope you  have already seen the beautiful new addition to the PAINT-A-FLOWER Collection.


This month's new PAF: ANEMONE is delicate, detailed and the perfect size for all types of paper crafting projects.   I love the small cluster of flowers in the stamp, and decided to use it to create a new entry in my Family Album....




I chose to use the stamp to create a pocket page for my album.   First, i stamped the flowers at the  bottom of the page with Obsidian ink,  and took the page to  my typewriter to add the lines of journal.



I wanted to play with pinks and violets so that they match the color of my daughter's shirt.  For this, i chose to use the Altenew Watercolor Pan set.   The detailed, but simple design was so easy to color, and oh so relaxing.



In addition, i added a small piece of the flower cluster to a small 3x4 card, and used watercolor to detail it.   I added a small sentiment from the stamp set to create the title for the page, and then decided to add a small tab to the top of the journal page ( using the Tabbed die set and the PAF stamp set) .   Just love how easy this came together with the stamp set and watercolor!

In addition to the beautiful PAF stamp set, Altenew is also releasing  reinkers for the Artist Marker set D and E. 




Since my markers are still pretty new, i decided to use the reinkers as alcohol inks to create a few simple cards.



For my first card, i used Puffy Heart, Cosmic Berry, Rose Quartz, and Sand Dunes to add the color to  a piece of Yupo paper.  Along the way, i added a few drops of alchohol ink mixative and Antique Gold Metallic Ink spray to add the shine to the page. 



I used the Bold Numerals Die set and Handwritten Hello Die Set to create the sentiment  for the card, and simply glued it the bottom of the color application.




For my next card, i used Limestone, Pure Graphite and Minty Mountain to create the background on a piece of Yupo paper.   This time, i used a bit of Isopropyl Alcohol to help move the ink on the paper and create the card panel.



I added a simple sentiment to the card using the For You Die set (cut from white cardstock and metallic teal kraft stock) to the front of the panel, and attached it to the card.   LOVE how easy and quickly these two cards came together.


Of course every one of our Blog Hops always have a fun element... GIVEAWAY!


To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 5 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog for a chance to win. We’ll also draw a winner to receive a $15 gift certificate from the comments left on each designer’s blog on the blog hop list below.

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Iris & Watercolor Essential Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW  PAINT- A-FLOWER: IRIS & WATERCOLOR ESSENTIAL SET Release Blog Hop + Giveaway.  You are arriving from Virginia's blog, and i hope you are inspired by her beautiful creations - a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post-.




This month's PAINT-A-FLOWER: IRIS is just such a beautiful addition to this new collection.  The details in  the design are delicate and perfect for all sorts of projects.  




I love the simple movement of the flower, so i  set to create a card for my first project.  I stamped the  PAF: IRIS image on heavy white cardstock using Obsidian Pigment ink, and used the new WATERCOLOR ESSENTIAL 12 Pan Set to detail it.  Once i was done with the flower, i used the pan set to add a wash of color to the card.




I cut my panel in such way that the lower flower is off the panel.  At the same i used Altenew's Antique Gold Metallic Spray to add splatters to white cardstock, and layer a piece of it under the finished card panel: then used colored cardstock to create the card.    To finish, i added a stamped sentiment from the PAF: IRIS  set followed by a few scattered sequins.




It is not secret that i love watercolor, so what better way to create a fun page for my journal than to use the new 9x12 WATERCOLOR PAPER PAD and the WATERCOLOR ESSENTIAL 12 PAN SET to create an entry for my Family Album.



This time, i created a rainbow explosion on the page, by adding water and then pigment so to create the blooming effect of the color on the page.  Once the watercolor dried, i used coordinating inks and the Linear Stencil to create the tone on tone background detail.


All it was left to do was add the pictures, followed by a simple title and sentiments from the PAF Iris set.    Just love how easy it was to create the background using the watercolor paper pad and new palette set.



For  my last project, i wanted to try the newWATERCOLOR ESSENTIAL 12 PAN SET  and the new WATERCOLOR PAPER SET in a no-line watercolor card.  So i used masking paper to create the cluster of flowers using the Fabulous Florets and  Limestone Ink;  then spent a few hours detailing each flower with the new watercolor set.  You can see a very condensed video of the process as follows:



Though the process of no-line watercolor is longer than usual watercolor detailing, it is relaxing and so satisfying.  The quality of the products makes it so much more pleasant to complete the task.



I hope these have inspired you to check the new PAF: IRIS Stamp set, and all the new WONDERFUL WATERCOLOR  release. They truly are a beautiful addition to the Altenew family of products.
