Artist Marker Labels
Organize your markers and grab labels for the Sunshine Valley & Water Garden Artist Markers Sets. In addition to four labels for each marker, there are also two floral decals to designate the color families on each container.
Of course, you can use the floral decals on any container you wish or to decorate your craft room.
Altenew Whimsical Wonder Release
Here’s a closer look at the Whimsical Wonder release. It contains a lot more than Stamps & Dies with Tote Bags, Paper Packs, Decals, Embossing Folders, and Artist Marker Labels.
Bouquet Of Love Twofer
Everyone loves a twofer. Am I right? Altenew Bouquet of Love is an ideal floral stamp set for a set of two cards or more. Stamp it once, color it up, and cut it up for multiple cards or tags.
Here I stamped Bouquet of Love on a 6 x 9 piece of watercolor paper with Amethyst Crisp Dye Ink. Next, I painted these gorgeous florals with Winter Fog, Ultramarine, Turquoise, and Purple Wine Watercolor Brush Markers.
Use a wet on wet watercolor technique for easy coloring and variation of color. Simply, trim the panel down into two A2 size, 4.25 x 5.5-inch cards, stamp the sentiments, and add some splatter.
Meadow Bush Stamp & Die
Since I already had my Watercolor Brush Markers out, I decided to use watercolor with the Meadow Bush Stencil Set.
I’ve used the same colors and for the last layer, I used Altenew Embossing Paste sprinkled with glitter. For best results spray the back of the stencil with Pixie Spray or another temporary spray adhesive.
I skipped that step and as a result, my results weren’t as pretty as I’d like with the leaves and stems.

Bouquet of flowers is my favorite
Hi, I’m from Lancaster, California. Love your coloring.
Wonderful cards! Very pretty!
Very nice. I like your color choices.
Great split of the set for two cards. I like the color combination on both.
What a striking color combo! Love the twofer cards and the glitter embossing paste. Great ideas from a wonderful release. Thanks for the great ideas!
Thanks for the tip with stencil spray. Just picked some up after reading your blog.
Ooohhh…I love doing that as well…make two cards out of one image! So fun to experiment with the two sides for different looks.
beautiful arty cards – love them
Gorgeous cards! I love the idea of 2 for 1 with your first beautiful floral image! Thanks for the inspiration! Stay safe! 🙂
What gorgeous cards. Love the twofer idea. Always a great way to use a larger stamp.
Such a cool idea in creating 2 from one stamp. All are so pretty.
Beautiful floral designs and coloring!
Your art work is always so lovely and this group is no exception. My fav is the card using the Meadow Bush stencil. I gotta get that one!
Splitting the image into two cards is a fun trick. Good thinking!
Oh so pretty. Not many think to use the brown coloring to the petals. But it looks GREAT. Always like seeing your very creative work and helpful information to get a nice finish. Always beautiful work.
The limited bright colors really show off. So nice…
Your work is very pretty with the new release!
Absolutely beautiful, all of them!
Oh man, I love these. I love the colors you chose and the offsetting of the stamp. Sigh. I want to play with this new release NOW

Thanks for the amazing inspiration. The cards are really gorgeous! I especially love the twofer cards.
I love the different colors you used for your creations. They are not colors one would typically expect to find but they work beautifully and give the stamps variety. Thanks!
Such beautiful cards! I love the colours you used – such a gorgeous combination!
Beautiful! Love your work! Another stamp to get!
Gotta love a two-fer! Simply beautiful cards!
