Hello, and welcome to the Altenew May 2016 Blog Hop! If you came from the uber talented Lydia’s blog, you are right on track! Today the design team girls are sharing some fabulous projects to celebrate the release of new products: 16 stamp sets and 10 dies.

SpringDaisy Lotus

(Spring DaisyLotus)

I’ve designed Spring Daisy and Lotus for the Altenew May release, inspired by the photos my older brother took in South Korea. He takes really beautiful photos like a professional photographer. 🙂 Anyway I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with my new stamp sets.

I created a bright watercolor card using Spring Daisy and Halftone Smile along with coordinating dies. I spent almost whole day to complete this card from brainstorming and sketching out the designs to testing out the cards. I really hope you love what I came up with.

I made a video tutorial to show you how to make this watercolor card from start to finish. I also filmed a behind the scenes video you don’t want to miss, inspired by Yana’s video. 🙂 You can watch it below or on my YouTube channel. Hope you find it helpful.


How to Make a Watercolor Card using Gold Embossed Images 

  1. Stamp the images from Spring Daisy stamp set with VersaMark watermark ink on a piece of Arches cold pressed watercolor paper.
  2. Heat emboss the images using gold embossing powder. (If you are new to this technique, check out the Heat Embossing Technique Tips and Tricks HERE.)
  3. Watercolor the images with Mijello Misson Gold 36 watercolor set. (Before brining in color,  wet your watercolor paper first with water. Use paper towel to remove the pigment between adding more colors. Let the paint dry with a heat tool before adding more colors to the images.)
  4. Die cut the flowers and leaves using Spring Daisy die set.
  5. Stamp ‘Smile’ from Halftone Smile stamp set with watermark ink, heat emboss it using gold embossing powder, die cut it with coordinating die.
  6. Adhere the die cut images and word on the card front using foam tape. (I used Woodgrain white cardstock for card base.)
  7. Heat emboss the sentiment from Halftone Smile with white embossing powder on a piece of Dark Chocolate cardstock.
  8. Finish off the card by adding some clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh.

    of course like your web site but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very bothersome to inform the truth nevertheless I’ll definitely come back again.|

    After I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is a means you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!|
