Have you seen the new addition at Altenew, I’ve made a video of the unboxing and I made a very easy card! But first, did you know
that this is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew and if you are hopping along you should have arrived here from KELLY’s fabulous Blog!
I have 2 cards and a video to share starting with a cute Alpaca! I did some simple Artist Marker colouring and popped him up on a Dotted Diamonds embossed background.
And I thought this sentiment from the Stone Mosaic set was perfect!
My second card started because I was swatching out the new Artist’s Watercolors, this is a 24 half pan set and each colour coordinates with the Altenew ink colour families!
I did some very simple sploshing of colour and stamped the Exotic Garden bouquet overtop. I popped it on some design paper from the Verdant Walk paper pack and added a simple sentiment from the Ornamental Bliss Stamp Set.
You can see the unboxing and card video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Great cards Therese. Especially love the Alpaca. That’s a great background stamp too. It’ll be so useful. Thank you for keeping me inspiredâ¤ï¸
So cute and I love the alpaca stamp.
so cool, indeed… you had me at the sentiment! Therese, you’ve done it again! Off to watch your magic happen!

I love the loose watercolor look. It’s simple, but it leaves a big impact on the finished card. Great job.
I would never have thought to watercolor that way — I will now!
So many new things for my wishlist! thanks for highlighting some!
Love the ease of watercoloring a flower design this way. Thank you. You’re so clever and it looks beautiful. The alpaca card is so cute and I love the sentiment!
Your designs are fabulous (as always)!!!
I love both of your cards, Therese, but the ‘light bulb” part for me was white embossing the dotted diamonds background!
Thank you for the beautiful inspiration!
It’s always so exciting to stop by here. Love what you did with that alpaca. The embossed BG is super. And your yellow hello card is certain to brighten everyone’s day – especially the recipient’s.

Love your watercolor card Therese, the paints are so vibrant and the flower bouquet looks stunning against the yellow check paper. Totally gorgeous!
Really beautiful cards – love the “splosh” of color technique! That’s something I will try.
These cards are amazing. But I love the first one! The background complements the image so well. But the saying if perfect, like you say. It sure makes the card!

Two fabulous cards with these new products, Therese. Thank you, too for a video – LOVE (L.O.V.E.) them. I’m very impressed with your swatching… brilliant.
always a ‘thumbs-up’, Therese!! This is a lovely card – CAS but striking! You have inspired me to use my card stock pads – I tend to forget them, pretty as they are. I love the abstract color base for your stamp. Also love your darling alpaca card!
Wonderful, cheerful, sweet, Spring-like card. I like your background paper for it – perfect.
The new watercolor pan set is calling my name. I love your idea of watercolor first and then stamp on top. I also love the bouquets already done for you!!
What wonderful and beautiful cards, Therese.
That little alpaca is adorable and I love the way you colored the flowers on the second card, so cool!
I absolutely love your cards and processes. I have recently decided to cut back on watching card makers videos as I am more interested in just watercolouring. Your channel is one I couldn’t give up though as your cards are AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for keeping me entertained!!
Thank you for such a sweet comment!
Fabulous release from Altenew! I love to watch you make your cards!

Love the Alpaca card, such fun. I enjoyed your video process the card you created is beautiful.
I absolutely love your beautiful card. Thanks so much for the hint of using the packaging as a guide to coloring the background — I’ll definitely be trying that! I love this watercolor set and the fact that it contains color “families” is such a bonus. I only have a cheap set of watercolors; now may be the time to upgrade!
