You asked me to show you how it was done, so here it is, as requested…. You know you are my faves!
Welcome back, it’s time for another Paint-A-Flower release from Altenew and this one is the beautiful Paeonia Japonica. Did you arrive here from LILITH’s fabulous Blog? if you did, then you are in the right place!

Today I am using the Altenew Artist Markers to recreate this card right HERE. This new Paint-A-Flower: Paeonia Japonica was the perfect choice although you could say it was a labour of love… a love of colouring, which is exactly what these sets are made for.

Both of my card designs are very simple.

On this card I used the Handwritten Hello Die for the sentiment.

My second card has an Apothecary Label (you know I love these)

with a sentiment from the Paint-A-Flower: Paeonia Japonica stamped over top.

I got this wonderful idea to ‘Split’ my card from Jennifer McGuire’s post HERE, thank you so much for yet another fabulous technique!

You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Just beautiful Terese. Thanks for sharing.
You are so artistic! I love the no line look, but I’m not good at it. I need distinct lines. But yours looks amazing!!!!!!
Gorgeous, Therese … I haven’t watched, but get a tummy ache thinking you’ve cut this beauty in half? You know how to stretch your supplies, stash, AND coloring! xx
=]
As usual, your cards are beautiful. Its nice to know how long an image takes to color, it reminds me to go slow and be patient with ones coloring. Like you said, don’t be so hard on yourself! I also appreciate your running commentary, it makes me smile. Thanks for the tutorial.
this was a labor of love, not sure I could send it on its way.
I have to admit that when you cut your beautiful bouquet in half, I gasped! But, for all the time you put into coloring it, you created two gorgeous cards! I really enjoyed your video!
Holy Cow! Your coloring is amazing! What gorgeous cards!!!! I am a huge fan of your videos. I love your soft voice and that gentle laugh. I really look forward to them.
After all that time and the beautiful coloring, you had the nerve to cut that piece in half! Impressive and I do like both cards that resulted. Brave girl! 🙂
This is a beautiful card! Love your coloring. I can’t wait to get my stamp set!
Oh, my! I love the beautiful way you painted these lovely flowers! No way will I be able to duplicate when my stamps arrive, but I may just give it a try!
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Love your card!
Such wonderful shading on a lovely card!
Wowza, amazing colouring! Thanks so much for doing in real time, it really helps to see how you do it!
This is stunning, we must make time to do this one but worth every second, thank you for sharing
Okay, these are Gorgeous Therese!! My favourites so far. I appreciate your willingness to make a video of your artistic process.
Your coloring is amazing. I was afraid for you to cut the stamped and colored image to make two cards; as it was so beautiful as one piece. But the cards are lovely. Thank you for sharing the video.
Well those are off the chart lovely! What great colors you chose and you did a super job of coloring them!
Simply gorgeous!
I enjoyed the coloring video and the surprise split for two cards. I think I need all the sets you’ve used. I might now make it to the end of the hop before I come back and link with you for the PAF and labels!

Oh my gosh, Therese, your card is gorgeous. The colors are so soft and I love how you displayed the flowers in a vase. Your flowers always look so realistic!
Absolutely gorgeous. Two cards for the time it took to do one beautiful floral image! I rationalize things like that as well. Love to watch you do the no line coloring.
This is a beautiful flower set and the vase with it is lovely. I like how you cut the flowers and made
two cards from it. Clever and a good job!
OMG!!!! Your coloring is out of the world!!! Stunning work here! I’m just awestruck!!! <3
Those cards are absolutely stunning. I actually gasped when you cut that gorgeous full image in half, but I must admit the two cards turned out beautifully. Watching you create calms me, and lately I’ve really needed calming.
