Today I’m excited to be joining Altenew and friends for the August 2026 Release Video Hop! My project features a peaceful lake scene that comes together with layered stencils and ink blending, creating a card that truly makes you feel like an artist with very little effort.

There’s something so calming about blending this peaceful lakeside scene. Layer by layer, the landscape comes to life, making the creative process just as enjoyable as the finished card.
A few flicks of metallic gold watercolor add just the right amount of sparkle, catching the light without taking away from the tranquil feel of the scene.
I couldn’t bear to trim this panel down! The full landscape is so serene, and keeping the entire scene really lets the artwork shine.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope this project inspires you to sit down, enjoy the blending process, and create something beautiful. Happy crafting!
