Hello friends, Sharing a loose watercoloured card I made for the current Altenew inspiration challenge. I have used Paint-a-flower Rose stamp set for my card here. Stamped it on a WC cardstock and coloured it using Liquid watercolours by Itsy bitsy.  I let the colours flow all around to give it a loose look. I splattered the same colours all over the panel.  Stamped the sentiment from the same set and adhered the panel over the card base.  Hope you like my card!! Thank you for stopping by!

 Hello!! I have been watercoloring a lot of florals lately experimenting different methods of coloring. This time I tried Loose watercoloring with liquid watercolors.  I also wanted to play along with the Altenew challenge for this month so I used a stamp set by Altenew and colors mentioned in the moodboard. I have used the stamp set called Delicate Bouquet. Stamped the image and colored it with the Liquid watercolors by Itsy Bitsy. After coloring the image, I did some coloring with the same shades around the image. I kept the card very simple to not lose focus from the flowers. La ..read more

I have created a blended look using the two moodboard colors - pink and purple. I fussy cut the two pieces. On a card base, I stamped the same image on the two sides using Fossilised Amber distress oxid ..read more

Hello! I made an OLC after so long. It is fun to create one with no layers at all. I have used the Painted flowers stamp set by Altenew.  And as you can see in the picture, I do not own any layering inks. I don't even have any Layering stamps except for this one as I love coloring the images more than the layering.  On a card base, I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Peony stamp set by Altenew. Marked a circle lightly with a pencil. Stamped the florals around the sentiment. I have used all the possible inks from my stash to layer the stamps.  And now I think, I should ..read more
