Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mum

11/22/2020

 

Spider Mum

Picture
Welcome, Spider Mum, to the Altenew Paint-A-Flower family. This newest edition to the monthly release contains two delicately leaved flowers attached with one stem and a bunch of leaves. If you are hopping along you have just come from the amazingly prolific Terri Koszler and this is your last stop on the hop. You can check out the Altenew Card Blog for more information. Thank you for hopping along and I hope you catch some inspiration from the amazing talent from the Altenew designers. 

Paint-A-Flower

Picture
When I first have a stamp set like the Paint-A-Flower, I first stamp it in Altenew Obsidian black ink. I then try embossing powder. I like to use: clear, white or gold. I then stamp it in a light ink for no line watercoloring. Today, I have three examples of this spider mum in each of these outlines. I made a cute set of all occasion note cards that will really brighten someone's day.

For each card, I stamped the PAF spider mum image onto watercolor cardstock. I used the Altenew artist watercolor pan set to color. I first laid down some water and then added in paint, building up layers of color. I cut down the panel to a smaller size. On a wide folding A2 card base, I stamped One Day at a Time background using Pink Diamond ink. A strip of Emerald Gold Washi helped to add interest and hide the transition between the background stamped panels. I added sequins for some added sparkle. I did not add a sentiment on because these looked cute as an all occasion notecard set.

Such lovely cards, that stamp set is simply amazing, isn't it?

Hi Mirella
Thanks so much for hopping through. And I agree, this stamp set is lovely. Again, Altenew does not disappoint and releases another amazing PAF. This is definitely the subscription to get.

Great cards. The first one is my favorite.

Your cards are so pretty!

Love the colors you used to paint the mums!!

MaryH

Oh my gosh, what an exquisite job you did. Impeccable choices for the colors and using the Altenew One Day at a Time stamp for a larger background truly inspirational. That stamp is now at the top of my list along with this month's PAF.

Amy Hill
11/22/2020 04:06:52 pm

Mary, Thanks for your lovely comment. The One Day at a Time is a really great background stamp...check it out! and this Spidermum is so easy to color and is such a pretty flower. Thanks for stopping by!

Laura Long

These are lovely :) I love cards without sentiments for a nice notecard set or adding a sentiment when it's needed for a birthday, sympathy, retirement, ,

Amy Hill
11/22/2020 04:08:10 pm

Hi Laura, thanks for stopping by. I agree, sometimes a sentiment is just not what is needed and it is nice to have a set of cards to give as a gift or use for many occasions. I thought these would make a nice gift. Thanks for your comment.

What pretty cards! This set is very nice!

Retta Lutte
11/22/2020 02:46:13 pm

I like to leave off the sentiment, too! Makes for a quick "whatever" card. Beautiful cards!

Amy L Hill
11/22/2020 04:12:41 pm

Hi Retta, thanks for stopping by. I agree! sometimes a sentiment just gets in the way. This set is so lovely that I felt as though words would have taken away from the stamp. Although the sentiments that come with the stamp set are really nice.

Jessica Scott
11/22/2020 02:48:48 pm

it's so interesting how the hard lines can look really good with some colors and then though no line cards can look really good with other colors and then embossing just adds a whole different look as well! Thank you for the side-by-side comparison!

Amy L Hill
11/22/2020 04:11:30 pm

Hi Jessica, thanks for stopping by. Each way the stamp is stamped (light ink, black ink or embossing) really changes the look and feel of the card. Thanks for noticing that I wanted to show off how you can use this stamp three different ways to get three different emotions.

These are beautiful! I love the smaller panel centred on the coordinated and pretty background.

In this case I think I like the crisp black outline the most. Kudos for being able to paint inside the narrow petals so well. Isn’t this stamp amazing?

Both cards are so lovely. Similar designs, yet different looks just by changing the color schemes! Can't wait to get my PAF so I can play with all the inspiration I've gotten from this hop! Thanks for sharing yours!

These are beautiful. I love to stamp in black outline or emboss or on occasion, color in the no-line technique! It depends on how confident I'm feeling about my watercolor skills that day! LOL

Yvonne Boucher

Beautiful cards, Amy!

Nice layers. I like the look at the flowers in different colors.

Kimberly Ligocki

LOVE these. What a great idea to try those three things to play with your new stamp. I'll try it.

Omg—all three cards are beautiful! I think my favorite is the white embossed card. It really does provide a no line look. :)
