Paint a Poppy – Altenew

Hi everyone and happy Friday! I have been on winter break this week, so I had lots of time to relax, craft, and enjoy being home with my family! It was a great week, it sure did go fast, but hopefully now we are one day closer to spring! For today’s card I am using the new Paint a Flower subscription from Altenew called Poppy! I was so excited to see them come up with a kit that is all about coloring & flowers… you know I love to color! I sure do love flowers! I can’t wait to see the next flower…..

I started by stamping the beautiful flower all over my watercolor panel background. I stamped it using WOW embossing ink, then used a gold embossing powder from Ranger. I used my Brutus Monroe aqua pigments. I had so much fun watercoloring with these. The level of color saturation is AMAZING… I love bright cards and the color on these is beautiful. I can’t wait to get more of these. On the flowers I used pink and purple, then on my leaves I used some green (with shimmer) and a little yellow. I then did a watercolor background as well using a shade of red. I used different shades of similar colors to add splatter to my card. I finished off the coloring with some similar shades of colored pencil as well.

I added a die cut hello sentiment, which I had cut 3x for added dimension. I added some sequins to the card base and added stickles to the center of each.

Craft Supplies used:

• Stamps: Altenew (Paint a Flower – Poppy)
• Paper: Canson Watercolor
• Coloring Medium: Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigments
• Other: Hello Die (from Michaels… I believe), sequins, stickles

Wishing you all a great day and weekend! Crafty Hugs,
