It’s time for a fun release from Altenew and I have been so excited about this one……. of course we are hopping along to celebrate the release so you should have arrived here from YOONSUN’s amazing Blog!
I knew before I even started to paint that these Metallic Watercolors would be incredible, and IRL they are even more divine.
I kept it very simple today and chose to use the Real Gray Cardstock on which I painted some embossed Ruffled Flowers.
And for the sentiment I used the Fancy Hello Die (which I adore, just in case you hadn’t noticed lol).
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Wow Therese! I KNEW you would go the elegant / understated route and I really LOVE the card you created. Aren’t these metallic colours gorgeous. Am lusting after this set, but haven’t been game to see how expensive they are, because as you know, shipping to Oz is expensive as well. Puts some of these fabulous products out of my price range.
