Have you ever painted with Metallic Watercolors? I have some black watercolour cardstock and I have to say that they look amazing on it!
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from EMILY’s wonderful Blog.
Seriously, just look at that shine! AND did you know that you can mix the colours too?
I embossed the Magnolia Ballerina with Antique Gold Embossing Powder.
And the splatters were made with the Metallic Watercolors too.
