Hello, crafty friends! Welcome to the Altenew’s 2nd anniversary blog hop. If you came from the Pretty Pink Posh’s blog, you are right on track. This is a three day event with tons of inspiration and amazing PRIZES!
To celebrate the Altenew’s 2nd anniversary, I created a watercolor card with floral background. I used the flower images from Altenew’s stamp sets: Wild Hibiscus and Botanical Garden. Then I watercolored them with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors.
Last weekend I went on the Altenew retreat to New York, and I had some fun crop night with Tasnim Ahmed and Jennifer Rzasa. Jen showed me some tips on watercoloring as I was struggling with this card. She asked me to let the paint dry before adding more color to the image. I think it worked so well for today’s card.
I’m absolutely happy with how my card turned out. Since I’ve started watercoloring, this is the best card I made. Hope you love my card as well. 🙂
I made a video tutorial to show you how I created my watercolor card. You can watch the video here or in HD on YouTube. Hope you find it helpful.
How to Make a Floral Background Card using Watercoloring
- Stamp the images from Wild Hibiscus and Botanical Garden with Ranger Archival black ink on a piece of Arches cold pressed watercolor paper. (Make sure to use a waterproof ink.)
- Watercolor the images using Kuretake Gansai Tambi 36 color set.
- Mount the watercolor panel on a A2 sized top folding card using foam tape.
- Stamp ‘Celebrate’ from Super Script with watermark ink, heat emboss it using gold embossing powder, die cut it with coordinating die and adhere it on the card front using foam tape
- Stamp the sentiment from Label Love with black ink and adhere it below the die cut.
- Finish off the card with some gold metallic thread and Sparkling Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Its like you learn my mind! You appear to understand so
much about this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something.
I think that you could do with some p.c. to drive the message house a little bit,
but instead of that, this is wonderful blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if
it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
