Mega Bloom Stencil

Mega Bloom is right, this flower stencil is huge and fantabulous! This festive flower was created with a mix of ink blending and Artist Marker coloring.

Altenew Mega Bloom Stencil

I am always inspired by Alex Syberia’s dot coloring and gave it a go with Mega Bloom Stencil. This was another one of those ugly duckling cards that turned into a swan.

I finished off the card with Altenew Satin Gold Sequins to reinforce the dot texture.

Sweet Spring Stencil

Next up is, Sweet Spring Stencil, which is a gorgeous and easy to use floral layering stencil.

Altenew Sweet Spring Stencil

I opted for a vertical arrangement to do something a little different and ink blended with Volcano Lake and Midnight Violet.

Stay tuned, that encouraging sentiment is coming soon.

Statement Flowers Stamp Set

Aw yeah, Altenew Statement Flowers Stamp Set is definitely my new favorite. Today I watercolor, but I definitely want to use all the mediums with this stunning floral arrangement.

Altenew Statement Flowers Stamp Set

I adore Altenew Artists’ Watercolor 24 Pan Set. The pigments are crazy vibrant and they move effortlessly.

Altenew Statement Flowers Stamp Set Watercolor

Watch the video to see how well Sea Shore and Cherry Blossom watercolor mix and blend on their own.

Watercolor Altenew Statement Flowers Stamp Set

I created a few shades of green by mixing Green Hills with Cherry Blossom for a light green and with Sea Shore and Cherry Blossom to create a dark green.

Zig Zag Floral Stamp Set

Focus, Daniel-san. I was really tempted to create another 80’s throwback card, but I resisted. This edgy modern Zig Zag Floral Stamp Set will not be overlooked!

Altenew Zig Zag Floral Stamp Set @ Sentiment Strips 2

I skipped the solid layer and went straight for the detail layer in Obsidian Pigment Ink. The centers are Volcano Lake and Lagoon Crisp Dye Ink. Focus was die-cut from Simple Alpha

Altenew Zig Zag Floral Stamp Set & Sentiment Strips 2

Sentiment Strips Stamp Set and the new Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp Set coordinate perfectly to create the sub-sentiments for this card.

Altenew Zig Zag Stamp Set

Here’s one more version with Cotton Candy, Mango Smoothie, and Snapdragon Crisp Dye Inks.

These sentiments are from Mega Greetings 4 Stamp Set, an older favorite.

What an accomplished teacher and artist you are!
