Watercolor Charm

Altenew AECP…

I’m so happy to be back again with another wonderful project for the Altenew’s Educator Program!

Today I’m working on ink stamping another beautiful set of Altenew flowers with the appearance of watercolors.

Coral Charm…

This stunning stamp set is called “Build a Flower: Coral Charm”. It has a gorgeous flower with many layers, and it also has several pretty little blossoms and leaves.

Color Palette…

I chose Altenew‘s “Shades of Purple” Ink Set for my card today!

I started off by stamping the solid base layers with “Shades of Purple” and then built up my flowers layer by layer with the coordinating Crisp Dye Inks in that set. Altenew includes a valuable layering guide with their stamp sets to make stamping the flower layers easier to line up. So don’t be afraid to try!

Once my flowers were stamped, I stamped some leaves, also from the “Build a Flower: Coral Charm” with “Green Fields”

Putting it all Together…

I folded a piece of smoky gray cardstock to a 5″x7″, for my card base, and then stamped a piece of white cardstock with the “Soft Lilac” for my background with the outline stamps in the “Build a Flower: Coral Charm” stamp set. Then I attached it to my card base.

I attached my “Shades of Purple” floral panel on to another piece of smoky gray cardstock and then attached to my card base with double-sided adhesive to give it some dimension.

Happiness…

I stamped “Happiness is Coming Your Way”, also from the “Build a Flower: Coral Charm” stamp set, on a piece of white cardstock and attached it to a scrap piece of the smoky gray cardstock I used for my base.

Splatter & Shine…

Once my card was put together, I added a few crystal-clear enamel drops, little ink black splatter, and my “Watercolor Charm” card was finished.

Happy Crafting…
