PROJECTS WITH PRODUCTS FROM TODAY’S RELEASE:
For my Paint-A-Flower cards this month, I didn’t take the traditional route of stamping and coloring or painting. Instead, I chose a more graphic and decorative approach.
For my first card, I stamped parts of the outline image all over an A2-sized watercolor card panel, filling in all the areas and heat setting with white embossing powder.
Then I painted in the entire panel with shades of olive green, turquoise green, blue, and lavender, letting the colors pool, blend, and interact with each other. I did (sort of) focus the greens on the leaves but then used a mix of the other shades on the petals and background areas.
I debated the variety of techniques I could used to add the sentiment, but didn’t want to cover any more of the lovely stamped or painted design, so in the end, I decided to try simply stamping and heat embossing right over top of what I had already stamped and heat embossed, and I really love the look! To support the black greeting, I added a few black enamel dots.
For my second card, I wanted to stay with the same general color scheme, so I started by painting a bunch of strips of watercolor cardstock with the same shades of paint as I’d used on the first card.
I trimmed the painted strips into varying widths and taped them together with washi tape and double-sided adhesive on the back. Then I put the cardstock stripped panel into the MISTI and stamped a single outlined image with embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder.
I added the greeting (included in the set) to a strip near the bottom, and then trimmed the panel and matted it with a piece of coordinating cardstock before adhering it all to a folded white cardstock card base. I finished the card with the addition of some clear and white hole-less sequins.

Lovely stamp set.
I can’t wait for my stamp set to arrive. Thanks Altenew for great paint a flower stamps each month!
All the cards a so beautiful. I cant wait to try some of the techniques I was. I’m new to your site, but everything I have purchased, I love! I’m so excited about making cards again.
Really love your cards, Norine! Beautiful set!
Gorgeous stamp set. The cards on this hop are beautiful. I love the font of the sayings in this set.
What a beautiful set this is!! And some gorgeous inspiration, too.
I love them all, but that one by Norine Borys really speaks to me. It’s gorgeous.
This new stamp is a beauty! I never thought I would get into watercolors but I find myself drawn to the Paint a Flower Series of stamps. They lend themselves so well to watercolors and it’s not that hard to get the hang of it and create beautiful cards.
These cards are so lovely. I love the color palette.
Beautiful cards! Love the blues and green with the white flower outlines.
Beautiful watercoloring! Wish I had more faith in myself to try it.
These are stunning cards made with, of course, another fabulous floral set!
Love this stamp! I’m really enjoying the paint-a-flower series.
These are just beautiful!
