Today I decided to try an easy watercolour technique using the newest Build-A-Flower: Poppy from Altenew. This stamp set is released today and we are hopping along to celebrate so you should have arrived here from JUNG’s wonderful blog!
I decided it would be easiest to show you this technique in a video so you can watch the process, you can scroll down for the link and also to find out how you can WIN.
I added a Pale Gray background to help frame the panel as well as a heat embossed sentiment from the Leaf Canopy Stamp Set.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
*************************************************
Prizes:
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to five lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog for a chance to win. Five winners will be announced on the Card Blog on 12/9/2018.
Also I will randomly choose a winner from the comments left on this post to win a $20 gift certificate to the Altenew Online Store, you have until midnight 5th December (AEST) and I will announce the winner here on 6th December.
