Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Camellia Waterhouse Outline Stamp Set Blog Hop + Giveaway ($200 in total prizes)

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Today I am sharing 3 cards I created as part of a blog hop to celebrate the release of the Paint-A-Flower Camellia Waterhouse Set.

You should have arrived from Maryam Perez but you can always go back to the Altenew Card Blog

to start the blog hop again.

Giveaway Prizes:

$200 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $20 gift certificate to 5 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 01/28/2022 for a chance to win.

Altenew will draw 7 random winners from the comments left on each stop of this blog hop and announce the winners on the Altenew Winners Page on 01/30/2022.

Card 1:

I stamped the image twice with clear embossing ink and applied Antique Gold embossing powder https://shrsl.com/3cdr8 I then ink blended colours to enhance the look, added a sentiment from the stamp set and some gems from my stash finished off the card nicely. A very quick and easy card to create.

Card 2:

I was in the mood for a rainbow! Using some watercolour cardstock and my Watercolour 36 Pan Set

https://shrsl.com/3cdrg I painted stripes across the page and allowed the panel to air dry completely. I tested to make sure it was dry by adding some embossing powder to the panel and as no powder stuck to the panel, I knew I could continue. I used my anti-static powder tool first, then stamped the floral image with clear embossing ink and then added Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder https://shrsl.com/3cdrl and heat set it until it was smooth and melted. A stamped sentiment and some white enamel dots completed the card.

Card 3:

For this card, I stamped the image with Obsidian Ink and then applied clear embossing powder to set the ink.

I then used my paint set again to watercolour the image using a stippling technique. Once finished, I added a sentiment and some enamel hearts.

You can purchase this stamp set here https://shrsl.com/3cdpu and if you wish to save a few bucks and purchase the monthly Paint-A-Flower Subscription you can find the info here https://shrsl.com/3cdpw
