We’re teaming up today to showcase the versatility of the innovative Stampwheel from Altenew. It is the perfect craft room companion for the everyday crafter who wants a stamping mount for a quick, clever, and efficient way to stamp. You can easily create a wreath, layer stamps, mirror stamps, use stencils, & more with minimal effort and maximum creativity! 

For my today’s card I used the Stampwheel to create a floral round pattern. I placed my card base in the middle of the tool and stamped my images from Botanical Wreath Builder Stamp Set. I placed four small stamps in desired position, flipped the clear plate eight times and my pattern was done! Really quick and easy! 

Next, I used markers from Cosmic Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set A, Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E and Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F to colour my images in. I finished my card with sentiments created with Essential Sentiments Hot Foil Plate.

That’s it for me! Your next stop is Arjita Singh.

*The winner of the $100 gift certificate will be chosen from comments left on the Altenew blog.

For today’s blog hop I used the newly released Palette Perfection Bundle and Watercolor Paper Set (Hot-Pressed, 5" x 7" Loose Sheets, 30 sheets/set) to create two watercolour floral backgrounds. The Palette Perfection Bundle comprises 10 exquisite Artists' Watercolor Tubes, including Permanent Yellow Deep, Opera Lemon, Phthalo Green, Dark Cyan, Phthalo Blue, Prussian Blue, Quinacridone Violet, Quinacridone Magenta, Toluidine Red, and Titanium White. 

 
I started by stamping my floral images from Vase Fillers Stamp Set with a light ink (I used Limestone Crisp Dye Ink) onto the watercolour papers. Next, I used my watercolours to very loosely paint over the stamped images. 

For my second background I used only two stamps and only three watercolour tubes.

To finish both designs I added some watercolour splatters. I'm really pleased with how both backgrounds turned out, they will make a great base for my cards. 

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Kelly Griglione!

They were drawn with minimal delicate lines, just perfect for colouring. The size will allow you to create wall art or multiple cards at once!

I stamped my floral arrangement with black ink onto watercolour cardstock and used Watercolor Brush Markers - Spring Garden Set to colour in the images. Next, I used coordinating Build-A-Garden: Rocktrumpet Add-on Die Set to cut it out.




To create my background I used a piece of watercolour paper painted with Misty Teal mixed with a drop of Prussian Blue from Artists' Gouache Set - Strolling Through New York. It all looks great without a frame but it could also have one for a more finished look.
