Hello, and welcome to Altenew’s June 2019 Stamp/Die/Stencil Release Blog Hop! If you came from the super talented Kelly Griglione’s blog, you are right on track.
To celebrate a release of new stamps, dies, and stencils, I created a watercolor card using the new Forever in Love Stamp & Die Bundle and Watercolor 36 Pan Set from Altenew.
My inspiration came from the watercolor card I created for the Altenew 50K Instagram Hop last week. I just loved the watercolor glazing technique I applied on my florals and the watercolor wash on my background.
I wasn’t able to film a video tutorial, but I wanted to share a photo of me working on my watercolor piece the other night. It was therapeutic especially after a tough day at work.
I started by die-cutting my image first from the Forever in Love Die Set out of Arches Cold Pressed watercolor paper. I placed the negative side of my die cut panel and inlay my die cut inside the openings. Then I stamped the image from the Forever in Love Stamp Set with Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink which is my new favorite black ink.
That way I was able to stamp my image to fit in my die cut perfectly so my stamped image has an even white area around the edges.
Next, I watercolored my images using Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set and round watercolor paintbrush #3. FYI, here are the paint colors I used for watercoloring:
- Flowers: Coral Berry, Rubellite, Grapevine, Citrus Burst
- Leaves: Industrial Diamond, Moon Rock
I lightly coated the first layer with Coral Berry and Rubellite after diluting paints with water. Then I added the second layer with a darker color, Grapevine, toward the bottom of each petal.
After previous layers dried, I applied Citrus Burst on the entire petals to create some unexpected color.
After my coloring is done, I created a watercolor wash background on the A2 size watercolor paper leaving some white areas intentionally. Then I mounted it on the A2 size white top folding card base using double-sided tape. Next, I splattered the background with Altenew Jet Black Ink Spray.
I mounted my watercolored die-cut on the card front using 3M foam tape. Then I heat embossed the sentiment from Altenew Simple Flowers Stamp Set using Pure White Embossing Powder on a piece of black cardstock. After cutting out my sentiment into a thin banner, I mounted it on the card front using 3M foam tape to give dimension.
I finished off by adding some Studio Katia Shimmering Ice Sequins to embellish my card, but I’m not sure it was a right decision. I think it would have been look better without sequins. What do you think?

Blog Hop
It is now time to head on over to the fantastic Maryam Perez’s blog to see what creation she has to inspire you all. You can always start at the beginning of the hop on the Altenew Card Blog.
Before I go, I wanted to share my story that I posted on Instagram the other day.
“I didn’t understand people saying that coloring is therapeutic. Because coloring often gave me stress as I usually wasn’t happy with how my coloring turned out, especially coloring with alcohol markers. One day I had the honor to watch Debby Hughes watercolor in real life. It was about three years ago at a retreat.
Since then I stopped comparing my coloring projects with others and started enjoying every moment of coloring-especially watercoloring. A few months ago I noticed that my watercolor skills got improved a lot just because I didn’t give up and kept practicing. Now I proudly can say that coloring is therapeutic.”
That’s all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by today. Happy hopping!
