Welcome everyone! Today we are celebrating the release of the new Paint-A-Flower Rose with a blog hop filled with inspiration and a giveaway! I have two cards I’ll be sharing with you today.
For my first card, I did some watercoloring. Watercoloring is something I’ve been enjoying lately and it definitely gets easier the more you practice.
I stamped the image in clear ink onto Fabriano Artistico White watercolor paper and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. Then I watercolored the image with the new Artist Watercolors set from Altenew.
Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it down with an A2 Layering die. I ink blended Word Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink around the edges and then flicked on some Red & Gold Metallic watercolors.
I mounted the panel to an A2 size white card base using a tape runner. I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in Gold onto Black cardstock and attaching with foam tape.
There is also a smaller Rose image on this set. I stamped the image in copic friendly ink and colored with Altenew Alcohol Markers. This is my first time using the alcohol markers and I will admit, I love them! They blend very well and I love how the colors all coordinate with eachother.
I kept the card clean and simple and just added a sentiment underneath by stamping it with my Misti.
The Paint-A-Flower sets are amazing for any coloring medium.
I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration.

I am inspired! Such beautiful cards.
Both of these are beautiful! Love the touch of gold with embossing in the first one; and love the richness of the second ♥
Beautiful cards. I especially like the first one with the pretty background.
What beautiful cards! The watercolored card is gorgeous. You create amazing cards.
Spectacular coloring of these gorgeous roses! Beautiful cards!
Love this set and your colors are gorgeous.
Your cards sure show what different looks you can get from the same stamp set. Both cards are beautiful, but I think I would have to pick the second as my favorite. You picked one of the prettiest Artist Marker sets to use for your first experience with the markers. I waited on picking an alcohol marker brand and was so glad that I picked Artist Markers.
Your cards are beautiful! It’s impossible to pick a favorite.
Wow! Your cards are so gorgeous! I love how different each card looks based on the coloring medium. 🙂
Love both of your cards and your creativity. Thank you
Gorgeous cards. I especially love the first one. Your beautiful water coloring and the gold embossing roses are beautiful. Amazing background.
