I like BIG flowers and I cannot lie!
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from HANNELIE’s wonderful Blog.
How easy is it to create quick and easy cards with a big bloom at hand, I was having such fun that I just had to make 2 cards to share with you!
Say hello to the new Build-A-Garden: Pristine Peonies Stamp Set. 2 HUGE blooms with leaves attached ready to stamp.
It was easy to create some washes of colour using the Watercolor Brush Marker Refills on Watercolor Cardstock.
Then I simply stamped the images over top (one of my fave techniques to get a washy look).
There are some lovely sentiments and fonts in this set too…
But you can take it a step further if you want, there is also an Add-On Die available.
My second card has a little hug for you, from the Hello and Hugs Die Set. And yes, I do love you my friends!

Well, these are just stunning.
What a gorgeous flower!
It marvels me how you use that technique and end up with the most gorgeous watercolored flowers, Therese.
Simply stunning
I tried (since I am a newbie) your watercolor background card with other stamps. I am to heavy with my ink. Uggh but my watercolor was great. Lol
Absolutely beautiful Therese!
The loose, messy style works beautifully with these blooms.
Such fabulousness!!! I love your big flowers and colours and style and well everything.
