ALTENEW PAINT-A-FLOWER: ROSE RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY

Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW PAINT-A-FLOWER: ROSE RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY, you are arriving from  Jenny Colaccico's blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post.

It is time for  a new flower to join in the PAINT-A-FLOWER family.  The new PAF: ROSE is one you want to add on your collection.  The delicate but detailed image is perfect for all types of projects, or just to practice your coloring.  I chose to work a layout for my Family album with this stamp.

I wanted the flowers to be the focus of this project, so i pulled a few pictures of my daughter and i to create this page.

It all started by creating the flower corners on the layout using the stamp and Altenew's Black Obsidian Pigment ink.  I chose to have the  images as if they were coming into the page, and only occupy the edges of the page.

Here is where i put on my audio book, pulled the new Artist Watercolor Palette and color the flowers.  This time, i decided to start each flower with a light wash of yellow watercolor, and then build the color of each flower by adding pigment to each petal making sure to concentrate the watercolor in areas toward the center of the flower.

Once i finished coloring ( 2+ hours) i used a fine white gel pen to add small details to the centers of the filler flowers and the petals of each flower. The small dots and lines help to create the illusion of roundness and dimension on the page.   The following video will show you how it all came together:

                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                                                                

I just love how the page turned out! The new PAF: ROSE is sure a must have in your collection.   Remember to check the stamp at the Altenew shop, or better yet sign up for the PAF Susbcription program:
