Today I share yet another easy watercolour technique for the Altenew Build-A-Flower: Hyacinth release. We are hopping along to celebrate this new release and so you should have arrived here from OLGA’s wonderful Blog.
I added my ‘watercolour’ today using the Altenew ink pads and you can see how this card came together in the video linked below.
These Enchanted Garden purples have my heart and it also seems like the Green Valley inks have trumped the Tropical greens (who woulda thought).
The sentiment for this design came from the Flower Vine Stamp Set which has a classic font style and they are small enough to add to any card design….
and especially perfect if you forget to ‘allow’ for the sentiment with the actual card design as I often do lol.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
********************************************************

These gorgeous blooms sing Spring to me, Therese! and OH their fragrance – bar none, the first my nose catches in the greenhouse! Yikes, you’ve teased me brutally as Winter has just begun! But, I’ll forgive you, and thank you for the reminder that ‘this, too, shall pass!’
Happy New Year, Therese… I’m off to watch your first video of 2019! xx

I am enjoying watching your videos. I can’t afford to buy all the new stamps from Altenew, but I get lots of inspiration for using the sets I have. Thanks, Therese.
Beautiful. Great colors,
Oh…Didn’t this turn out grand.
Great idea for using the layering stamps for those of us who find it a bit challenging to line up all those layers.
Beautiful. Using watercolors gives such a soft ‘artsy’ look. Thanks for sharing this technique.
I never thought watercolor look could be so elegant but it is the way you did it. so much amazing talent on this hop.

This is lovely! Love the loose watercoloring. And the hyacinth is a gorgeous flower.
Your inking technique seems to give a lot of depth and bulk to these beautiful flowers. The watercolors make it soft. Just one lovely card! Thanks for sharing this creative idea with us here.
Watercoloring can look like a hot mess, in the beginning, however, your finishing touch with the black ink is really pretty.
I love your watercolor look. It looks so soft and warm. I love the colors.
Love this watercolor look with this set – just perfect!!
Your card is very lovely!
Love the watercolor with my favorite flower and my favorite colors. Another stamp set to add to my collection!!

Another gorgeous set! Love your pretty card therese, gotta give this technique a try! Thanks for the inspiration and happy new year!
These flowers look so pretty! I like your watercolor twist on them.
Very nice. I like the idea of the loose watercoloring with the ink pads. I think I like the blue one and the lightest one better than the darker. Thanks for showing each color.
Happy New Year to you! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful card. Altenew’s layering stamps are the best and you go girl, splatter away! Have a beautiful day.
Hi Therese, Happy New Year to you and your family, That turned out much better then I thought it would, putting the out line over the flowers made the differences, love it, TFS, Cheers Anna.
