Watercoloring with Brush Markers | Stamp Focus: Altenew Statement Flowers

Hello friends,

How is your week going?

Today I have four cards to share featuring the gorgeous Altenew Statement Flowers Set form their April Release.

I started working on my cards by using my Stamp Platform and stamping the images in clear embossing ink onto watercolor paper. I heat embossed them with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. I spritzed some water on my images. I then used several markers from Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers Tropical Fiesta Set and scribbled them randomly on the images. Then, again, I spritzed it generously with water. You can move around the pigment with a paintbrush if they are any uncovered areas. To achieve a great result let the images air dry. Once they are dry, you will end up with very bold and vibrant images. And each image will look unique.

Next, I fussy cut the flowers and assembled my cards.

My first card is a simple card. I kept the design minimal and added just black paint splatters from the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Set on my white card base and glued just one flower.

For the sentiment, I made a white embossed on the black strip one from the Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp Set, which I popped onto the card.

Lastly I added some gold Altenew sequins.

If you have been following me for a while you know I love dark backgrounds. And for my next two cards, I used black card panels. And the card base for the first card I decided to make from a pink cardstock.

I added splatters of gold and white paint from The Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Set on the black card panel. Next, I foam mounted the flower onto the card.

After that I white embossed a sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips 2 Set onto a black strip and popped it onto the card and added some gold sequins. I love how it turned out. I think it looks gorgeous!

To make the next card, I stamped the image in Clear Ink and then heat-embossed it in Antique Gold Embossing Powder.

I then glued the flower. Again, for the sentiment, I made a white embossed on the black strip one from the Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp Set, which I popped onto the card.

To finish, I adhered a few gold sequins.

My last card is my favorite. Who said that cards have to be flat?!  You can give dimension to your creation by the use of foam tape. I wanted this card to have a mixed media feel with a lot of layers.

I made a card base out of beige cardstock and followed by adding black splatters onto the card. I glued down the die cuts, then started adding the flowers with foam tape. Once done, I splattered gold paint all over the bouquet.

I added white embossed sentiments and some black crystals to finish it off.

That’s it! It was so fun mixing these gorgeous flowers on these cards! I hope I could inspire you to start creating!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Happy crafting!
