Hello and welcome
I’m here with an entry into Altnew’s Pair-a-Flower watercolor challenge for 2022.
I had lots of fun playing with Altnew’s Build-A-Poppy stamp set.
I was inspired by some beautiful poppies I fell in love with.
After stamping the flowers were watercoloured using Altnew Brush Markers and then fussy cut.
The background it Altnew- Enchanting Vines 3D Embossing Folder. After the blackcardstock was embossed I rubbed Brilliance – Lightning Black ink pad across to give a subtle hint of gold with a little sparkle.
A strip of vellum was added along the side before the flowers were arranged across the front and added with raised tape.
The sentitment is a gold Altnew’s ‘Hello’ die raised up with 3 layers of die cuts.
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments and will be sure to check out your blog.
I hope all is going well for you all! Stay safe!
Cheers
Helen
