Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums & Craft Your Life Apron Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 



Hello and welcome to the November Paint a Flower blog hop and giveaway. This month Altenew are releasing the PAF:Spider Mums and Craft Your Life Apron. To celebrate the DT and several guest designers are sharing inspiration, You should have arrived here from Nenette S. Madero. If not you can go back to the start of the hop at the Altenew Card Blog.



I have created two cards with the new set, one water-coloured and one  coloured with Artist markers, lets jump in and take a closer look.


In this first card I stamped the Spider Mums onto smooth watercolour card using Obsidian ink I then coloured the image with Altenew's 36 pan Watercolour set I added lots of tiny splatters in the background and stamped the sentiment in black.



I'm by no means a great water-colourist but I am very happy with how this card turned out, those tiny splatters make it feel so delicate.




My second card was coloured with Altenew's Artist Markers Set E.  This time I stamped the image twice hanging off the left side of the card using a soft grey alcohol friendly ink as I didn't want the outline to be as bold.



I added a soft blue ink blended background using a blender brush (I can't tell you which colour as I just used what was left on the brush from last time I used it) I then stamped my sentiment in black and added a few ink splatters.

  4. Your two cards are memorable; but number two is a standout. That soft blue made the flowers pop. I never thought of using a grey to stamp the outline - what a magnificent idea that made the orange the focal point. Very engaging beautiful work.

  5. I like how you hung those flowers off of the edge. Totally different look. I also like the soft look you achieved by using the grey ink to stamp the image. Beautiful.

  9. I think the second one is my favorite with the blue background. It's brighter and feels more spring. The first one is probably a little more fall? Beautiful as well..

  10. Both cards are lovely. It's nice to see the difference between watercolour and markers side by side. I like the use of grey ink for the markers - great effect - and the stamp placement on that card too.

  21. I bounced back and forth from your 2 cards trying to decide which was my favorite, and I simply could not choose. I like how you employed the use of complimentary color on the second card. But I really enjoyed the clean lines of the first card, plus the splattered background. I say anyone who gets one of these cards is mighty lucky.
