Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello everyone .  

I am so thrilled to to be part of   Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway  as Guest designer! I  really can’t believe myself  I consider my self so lucky to share my cards along with such amazing talented designers. 

You have just arrived from Anna Komenda’s blog . I love her creations and layout . So creative and amazing .

I made many cards for this blog hop especially it featuring the third release of the Altenew watercolor brush marker it’s Altenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers. 

This one had a very unique colors that you can use by themselves or by combining them the other  Altenew brush markers  to create many cards shadows..

They have these amazing colors .

Let’s start this  post 

For the cards I made  it was hard to arrange them in this post so I thought to arrange them with the oldest to the newest that I made in order .

For the first  card set I made

Here is my first card set . These two cards

In these cards  I used  Altenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers  over the amazing  Altenew monochrome washi tape .

‘ın the first one ,  First I Iadhered the washi tape over a heavy card stock, then  I applied generous amounts of clear gesso over the whole washi tape and I leave it to dry .

I wet the area around the pretty watercolored flowers images with brush with clear water . After that I applied the colors from  fromAltenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers and  Altenew Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers they blend just amazing with each other . I added some purple wine in the center of the flower.

I die cut the card center with oval die cut yo focus more on the are that have flower on it .placed it over a foam sheet .I used lava rock to darken the edges of the oval . It was just perfect for shadowing with great blending ability. I stamped the sentiment over a vellum .

 

While I making the first card ,  I had the idea to color only the die cut part so I die cut these 3 circles and applied gesso over them and placed them over a matched die cut foam to give it more dimensions.

I had this idea to add a little of the clear gesso around the circles. And colored it . And  It came just perfect . Thus is my most favorite card in these cards that I made for this hop . I hope you like it too .

For my 2nd card , i was able to watercolor over a vellum . And it was a thing i tried it many time .

 

First i applied clear  gesso over the  heavy vellum which was a tricky thing to made . to let the gesso dry without wrinkles on the vellum was not that easy.  I run it between two glossy surfaces in the die cutting machine to straight them  .

Then I stamped the image with altenew black permanent ink , the images fromAltenew beautiful peony stamp , and I colored it with these colors  crimson, fresh lemon, turquoise,  lime , and lava rock from Altenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers.  .

I stamped the sentiment with black ink from Altenew inked rose stamp set . Add white splatter.  Trim the edges . The add this silver thread at the top to brighten the card.

It was a new tricky experiment I wanted to share it with you . But I am not going to make it that much .

Next one ,  I used  Altenew beautiful peony stamp and to creat this cas card ..

I stamped the  images   from Altenew beautiful peony stamp with black ink  like the previous card .

I used these colors crimson , lime , and lava rock  from Altenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers.  to color the images. And diluted pigments for the surounding from the same colors as I colored the image . and  I added splatters from these same colors in the background.

I stamped the sentiment from Altenew handpicked boutique stamp set.

So excited to share these two funky cards I made , in these two I spend some relaxing time making these backgrounds card .

In this card I applied these wide strips over a watercolor paper.  With diffrent colors here in this one I used turquoise,  desert night , lagoon , and purple wine from    fromAltenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers and  Altenew Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers .

Then stamped these sentiment and small circlur doodles from  altenew watercolor dots stamp . With black ink , as extra color I added this gold shimmers to brighten the card .

For the second card I used the same blue colors as above for the wide stripes,  I added the circlur on purples wine , then the gold shimmer in the other direction .

Love the colors the shapes on these two cards . I used the same on this card too .

 

 

****************************

For this simple photo frame I used a bright colors from Altenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers to color this big floral image from Altenew sketchy floral stamp .

I stamped the image with a gray permanent ink over watercolor paper . I applied these colors crimson,  fresh lemon,  purple wine in the flowers . The sweet leaf  lime , and lava rock  for the leaves .

Then I sprayed it with water to give it this loose watercoloring effect . I applied the turquoise for the outer side.  I added some white splatter and I framed it .

***************

For my last card I went back again to gesso and I create a cas mixed media card . In this card I did some watercoloring , stamping doodling over altenew patern paper

First I draw these circles over the pattern paper,  I choose this one I liked the stripes on it from    Altenew Live your dream 12×12 paper set.  . I applied clear gesso over it . After it dried I applied water inside the circlur with clear brush then i added the colors here the idea was to color each one of these circles with different colors but still compatible with the background. I used desert night , tourquise,  lagoon and  lava rock from    Altenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers and  Altenew Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers  .

I applied these small squares in diffrent area using grid stencile with white embossing past .After that I stamped the leaves inside the circles  from  Altnew happy dream stamp   after I definit it with black marker . I added some white  splatters and white hear drooling .

 I placed it over black card stock and I added these sentiment on black ..after that ,  I cut these butterflies from refection 6×6 paper pad from Altenew new day card kitand i added there on the card at the end.

**************

I couldn’t resist making a tag as I love them so much here is my tag idea..

I die cut this oval tag .. then i applied this thread on it in this way and i addhered with super glue. Then i add good amount of white gesso . After it dried i added there colors .. lagoon, turquoise , desert night,  purple wine , jet black, and   Persian blue  fromAltenew Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers and  Altenew Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers  .. Then I stamped and embossed these images from  Altenew motifs stamp set  with black embossing powder .

After that I die cut this u from altenew fine alphabet dies and amazing I stamped from Altenew label love stamp I added some ribbons at the end ..
