WHAT? No stamping or masking and I still have a bouquet!!
Yes that’s right, Altenew have released a Watercoloring Coloring Book and some beautiful brushes so all the hard work is done, so you can just sit down and colour! And of course we are celebrating with a hop so you should have arrived here from ERUM’s fabulous Blog.
I adored painting this beautiful image with the Artists’ Watercolors, the cardstock is lovely and ‘thick’ and it’s 50% Cotton Cold Pressed!
I also added some ink splatters to my wash background (much to my husband’s dismay).
As well as a sentiment from the Crystal Frames Set die cut with a Featured Sentiments Die.
You can see my video or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Gorgeous! Off to watch – I hope you’ll give us a look at the inside of the book? and talk about those brushes?
=]
p.s. S – T always knows best!
I love your card and the colors you choose. I think the splatters are perfect for this card.
Wow! You watercolored this image beautifully- the splatters look gorgeous! I love the blue background!
I love the colors that you choose for your card. I also really like the splatters.
I love how the orange pops from the blue background and splatters!
Beautiful card. Love this concept and can’t wait for the book and brushes to be available here. Thank you Therese, off to watch the video ❤️
The splatters are wonderful as is your card. My husband thinks I ruin a card when I “stick” a sentiment on the card panel.
Splatters make me happy! Always enjoy watching you paint and this new product looks fun. Perfect for camping.
I love the splatters. I always forget to do them at the end of the process. Gorgeous watercoloring. It’s great that they have come out with this coloring book.
Absolutely gorgeous! 🌺
Beautiful. Thank you talking about the new watercolor brushes. Might have to get those.
It’s not ruined. I think the splatter looks like rain or snow. I am also glad you took the time to show the products themselves in your video. The previous stops on the hop only had the finished products. Even the Altenew shopping site didn’t really show the book itself, just the images.
So beautiful, I like the splatter!
Really Beautiful!!! I love the splatter!!!
Beautiful card – love the colors you chose!
Gorgeous card! Love the watercoloring…
Thanks for sharing.
Your background with makes your card really pop and shows off the bright, colorful flower
I love it.
Beautiful card Therese. Love the fantastic coloring… the blue looks awesome around the floral image. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is so beautiful! I love the soft blue background, and I LOVE splatters!!
The background is beautiful but the splatters do set it off!
Beautiful, the orange really pops on the blue background, and the splatters complete it!
Beautiful card Therese!! The splatters make the card pop. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent.
Such a pretty card! I think the splatters add beauty! Can’t wait to buy this coloring book.
I am SO GLAD that I watched your video. I appreciate you taking the time to show us. I learned so much…especially the layering. My watercoloring is so flat, but your tips helped me so much. I like how you added water to the spot you would be coloring, and then coloring just that spot. I seriously learned so much, and I think that I will actually remember just about everything and use what I learned when I watercolor. I am so excited to get into my craft room now!! I am going to try my watercolor pencils (I don’t have the Altenew woodless type, but will try what I have) to add shading at the end. You are a genius!!!
Love the splatters and the end result! Beautiful💕
As always, such a beauty of a card! TFS 🌸
Your card is so lovely! These look really fun to travel with too.
Love the illustrations! Thanks for the tips and video Therese, always appreciated! I need those brushes in my life! My watercolor loving heart is dancing! 💕
I love the splatter look! It is something I am trying to teach myself and I don’t want to ruin a perfectly good piece if the splatter is bad! I appreciate the video and tips.
Beautiful, as always, Therese! I don’t agree with your DH, the splatters did not ruin it, although I thought it was beautiful without the splatters, too! Thanks for using both the water brush and the regular brush.
Love the colors you chose. And I like the splatters!!
How pretty! Those colours together are perfect.
I always love your watercoloring and YES, I like the splatter. Just wish I would be brave and go for it and splatter on my work as well. I think this is a great bundle set and the freebie gift is awesome. Great video and oh so helpful in watching you color.
Beautiful card. Love your color combination you used.
Beautiful work of art.
Lovely card and video. Splatters finish it off well!
Love the watercolor book and your card is darling. You inspire me.
Love the video tutorial! So fun to see your process and technique! The colors you chose for the flower is incredible!
I love your work as always, the colours are wonderful. Will watch the tutorial tomorrow x
Great color. To splatter, or not to splatter? Will check the video out a bit later.
I love the warm sherbety colors! Spectacular project!!
So Love the colors on this… Oranges are my favorite. I will have to try to recreate something like this. Such an inspiration.
Stunning card!
Magnificent! What beautiful bright colors!
So beautiful! The colors are amazing!
Beautiful! I love the splatters 😉
Dear Therese The soft colours have added the elegant touch to the card. Love your coloring and I am learming to color just taking baby steps. Stay safe and blessed
Stunning card as always Therese! Love the colours you chose.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Keep well

Beautiful card, beautiful colors. Love it!
Beautiful!!
This is really beautiful – can’t wait to see an Altenew colouring book!!
Thanks for always doing videos, Therese you can’t imagine how much I appreciate your time. The card is beautiful and I loved watching you paint it. I feel like I can now make a similar card.
Gorgeous card Therese! Love the colours you used, and those ‘splatter’s finish this off perfectly! I could watch you colour for hours. Love your videos. Okay off to order.
This is beautiful!! The spatters add to the beauty, I think. This is one coloring book I would love to have!
The floral images are so gorgeous! And the inspiration is just fantastic. Thanks of sharing!
Really loved your card today. All the designers have created wonderful things. Off to watch your video. How did you find the new watercolour brushes?
Cheers
Lisa
The new brushes were nice to use and definitely hold a lot more pigment than the watercolor barrel brushes. I haven’t tried the ‘fine’ brushes as yet…. maybe soon fingers crossed!
So beautiful!
Absolutely love your card…and the spatters. For sure!
Just gorgeous, Therese! My husband would have said the same, but I like the splatters!!! Thanks so much for the inspiration and helpful hints! Stay safe! 🙂
Absolutely stunning, Therese! Loved the video and I learned so much with your technique tips!! BTW: LOVE the splatters!!
You never disappoint me with your incredible videos and I love listening to another Aussie. You make the flowers jump of the page. Thanks for sharing .
i love card….your explanation is easily followed and excellent.
No I don’t think it’s ruined. It definitely adds an artistic touch. . . I have at times seen people add so many splatters to a beautiful, gorgeous watercolor and had the same thought as your husband. Love listening to you. Thanks for comparing all the new products and also showing that you don’t need it all. Work with what you’ve got. Which seems to be a problem for me. I do want it all.
In my opinion the splatters are just wonderful! Completes the beautiful card! Be healthy & safe.
Ah, Therese, your card is stunning, and your video is, as always, inspiring. I do love the white spatters, also! Yes, I have full-set syndrome, and your comments are so true, you don’t need it all. Thanks so much for sharing your gifts.
Beautiful card, love the splotches
Beautiful watercoloring Therese!
Gorgeous. I love seeing everyone’s style come out.
LOVE the water coloring book idea! Fabulous! I am really enjoying watercolor, so I may have to try those brushes as well. But my husband said I can’t buy any more stuff. Oh well, the marriage was fun while it lasted! 🙂 Your husband seems to give unsolicited opinions. When I feel like I’ve created a winning card, I show my husband and all he says is “it’s alright”. Then I throttle him. That’s love.
So pretty. I love this platters and I really love this coloring book. What a great idea
gorgeous water color card, LOVE the splatter!!
So beautiful and I love the splatter technique!
Stunning work as always!
I love the soft background and the splatters.
Great complementary color background to make your floral pop off the card. Well done.
So soothing to watch you create Therese – first day of our latest lockdown in Victoria and this is just what I need! Love your finished card – especially the splatters – and I think the watercolour colouring book is fabulous!
Beautiful I love the colors.
Love the orange petals against the blue wash background, and Therese the splatters are spectacular….tell hubby I said so!
Love the watercoloring ! You do a great job! Thanks for sharing!
Who doesn’t love splatters? I think it adds dimension to a card. Love to watch you.
Great colours. I like the spatters – they give it more of an artsy look.
Beautiful, Therese … it’s always fabulous to watch you colour … I either learn something new each time … or am reminded of something important that I’ve forgotten … thank you! Splatters … definitely perfect … they add such life and energy to this lovely image! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Love the new brushes and coloring book! Whenever my husband makes comments or gives me suggestions on my finished work I just give him “the look.”
I know exactly the ‘look’ you mean lol.
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
So very lovely. I just love it when you color in any medium.
So beautiful! I love your color palette!
beautiful work
Gorgeous card.

What a magnificent and spectacular release! You did a spectacular job to showcased creative ways to use everything. YOU SO ROCK!!
The watercolor book is a good idea. I enjoyed your tutorial on painting the selected card.

Lovely work
I’m just trying watercolor and love it. It’s so relaxing and enjoyable to slowly paint your way to being stress free! I think the coloring book is a great idea and can’t wait to try it.
I like the contrast with the blue background and the orange of the flowers. It’s very pretty.
I love how beautiful and spring like your flower feels. You picked a beautiful color palette for your painting. The splatters give the image extra pizzazz!! Thank you for making the video and showing us the brushes and book!! ❤️
The background color is perfect. I am in love with the coloring book.
