I had the Peony Scrolls stamp set by Altenew on hand,

I watercolored the flowers and the background using distress inks. 
Wrapped some gold thread, added a few sequins and I was done!

Watercolor Stamping



watercolor altenew vintage roses


Hello everyone!!
I made this for the Share Handmade Kindness campaign last week but it has been sitting on my desk.
Today I finally picked it, wrote "Hello" on it (yep that is handwritten, stamps are not wonky). 
I have used Altenew Vinage Roses on my card.
I used Gansai Tambi watercolors to stamp my roses and leaves.
I went back in after the piece was dry to add details on the leaves, the roses didnt need details, the stamps did the job perfectly.
That is it for today.

White and Kraft - Runway Inspired




Hello everyone!!
Made a new card today inspired by the RIC.


Here is what I made.





I used Altenew's Peony Scrolls on my card. Heat embossed these beauties on vellum, colored them using white Faber Castell classic pencil and then began the fussy cutting! PHEW
I stamped a couple of flourishes on the card too to ground the fussy cut flowers and add more dimension. Added a gazillion paint splatters to gel everything together and finished the card with some sequins. 
That's it from my side today.
Hope you have a great weekend!

Watercoloring my heart out!

Watercolored Altenew Peony Scrolls
So this started with The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. ALL that has been fussy cut!
I heat embossed Peony Scrolls by Altenew to watercolor using distress inks for the challenge.
Shared the photo above on Instagram and BAM came the likes and comments!
I broke a record for the number of likes and Altenew shared my photo!! 
*dancing like a lunatic*

I made four cards out of the flowers I watercolored. The sentiments are also from Altenew.
