Paint a Flower - Fashion Monger Dahlia...

Hi everyone.

Just dropping in today to share my latest card.

Today I have been playing with my newly acquired Altenew 24 half pan Watercolour Set and the Fashion Monger Dahlia.

I first applied the stamp to my Watercolour paper on the top and bottom and then applied a thin wash of  the light green to the background and onto the leaves.  I then slowly added more colour using the darker greens and some Cherry Blossom.  My flowers were painted with Cherry Blossom and  Shades of Purple in varying layers until I was happy with the look.  I added a touch of  Cool Summer night to the leaves and to the background as a splatter. 

 I finished off the background by spattering a little Liquitex White Acrylic Ink as the the white watercolour vanished into the background, then stamped my sentiment.

Supplies used:

Altenew Stamp a Flower - Fashion Monger Dahlia

Altenew Stamp - Sketchy Floral (Sentiment)

Altenew 24 half pan Artists Watercolour set

Lawn Fawn Die - Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables

Watercolour pad - Ranger 

White  Liquitex Acrylic Ink 

Thanks so much for looking - until next time

Happy Crafting

 

Cosmos Trio....

 Hi everyone.

Dropping in today as it is the 5th of the month today and that means it is the start of a new challenge over at Bizzy Becs Store Blog.

For my inspiration this month I have been looking at youtube and have been inspired by one of Jennifer McGuire's latest videos and decided to have a go.  As I wanted to use a digital stamp instead of an acrylic one, after much searching, was able to do what I wanted and am very happy with the placements of the digital stamp.

I love how easy this technique is and how well it came together, it was quite fun and not to messy.  If you watch the video you will see what I mean.  I went with her second idea.
