ARVE Error: need id and providerTrio of Cards
Let's start with a trio of cards I made featuring the Simple Roses Stamp Set.
To begin, I stamped several images onto a really long piece of watercolor paper in Embossing Ink. Next, I used Antique Gold Embossing Powder to emboss them. I used the markers from Autumn Festival Watercolor Brush Markers Set to color the images. Namely, Mango Smoothie, Orange Cream, Sea Forest, Yellow Ochre, and Tree Bark.
I fussy cut all the images as I didn't want a white border. For the card above, I adhered the images with Glue Tape.
Next, I added tons of fine splatters of Jet Black Watercolor. You can use that from either the 36 Pan Watercolor Set or the 12 Pan Watercolor Set. And then, I added gold splatters from the Metallic Watercolor Set.
The sentiment is from Sincere Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Obsidian Pigment Ink. I layered the label over a piece of Gold Foil Cardstock. To finish, I adhered a few Satin Gold Sequins.
For the card above, I first ran my panel through the die-cutting machine, sandwiched with the Sphere Stencil. Then, I arranged my florals on foam tape. The photo below is a tad darker but shows you the texture of the dry embossing.
Next, I added splatters of both Jet Black and gold watercolors from their respective sets as mentioned above. All cards were made in a similar manner just styled differently. For this one, I fussy cut the sentiment out and popped it over the image.
As you can see, on this one, I did add a different shade as the buds were meant for another card.
I adhered the images directly. Then, I popped the sentiment with foam tape.
Pencil Coloring on Sweet Flowers
To start, I stamped the images from the Sweet Flowers Stamp Set onto Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock repeatedly in Permanent Black Crisp Ink. Then, I used a combination of Prismacolor pencils and Polychromos to color the flowers and the background.
I used a few pinks and yellows for the flowers. It took me a lot of time to color this! This was unplanned, but I like how it turned out.
Artist Marker Coloring on Sweet Flowers
My last card features a clean and simple looking card. And I have a process video to share with you, as well!
For this, I stamped the image in Frosty Pink Dye Ink onto Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock using a stamp platform. Next, I used Artist Markers in Peach Perfect, Rouge, and Blush to color the flowers. For the green bits, I used only Forest Glades and Frayed Leaf from the Green Fields Set.
Next, I placed the image back in the stamp positioner and stamped over it again, but this time, in Obsidian Pigment Ink. I used the coordinating die to die cut the image.
Next, I stamped the sentiment and added fine black paint splatters. Then, I adhered the image onto the panel. After this, I thought I could add more to this. Therefore, I stamped a couple of floral vines, colored them in, and die cut them. I adhered these with foam tape next to the main image. Then, I adhered the entire panel onto the card base.

Your cards are absolutely beautiful!
Great release, and great card samples!!!
A gorgeous set
What a wonderful release! I’m loving the chipmunk with his cheeks full of food. The florals are all so gorgeous. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I love your card follow your work thanks for enlighten me.
A wonderful release! I just received my small blending brushes and am excited to use them.
The unboxing showed so many wonderful new products. I especially liked the Sweet Flowers, so pretty and delicate the way they were presented on the card.
Absolutely gorgeous release! 💕
So much to love in this release! Erum, your Simple Roses on black cardstock is just stunning!
What a wonderful release. What to buy first? Definitely the small blending tools!
Love the versatility of this collection!
Once again Altenew knocked it out of the park. So much to choose from when you want it all.
My wish list keeps growing. Love the hydrangeas (they remind me of my mom) and the penguins. The watercoloring on the Simple Roses card is stunning.
Love the projects and the new release. I think the birch trees are my favorite.
Am new to Jennifer McGuire videos and am enjoying learning new techniques.
wow! Beautiful!
Such beautiful cards! I love all the colours used!
Wow!! I loved the colors on the Simple Roses. Those colors really made those flowers pop, especially on the black cardstock. The colors of pencil crayons that you chose to color the Sweet Flowers on the 2nd card were really bright and sunny! And then the pastel pink markers you used to color the Sweet Flowers on the 3rd card were so soft and feminine. These two flower releases are just SO pretty and a person can do so much with them. Some new things to put on my wish list!
Holy Moly! Such great products and projects!
Loving your products! So glad I found them recently!
I love the colors and designs
just so lovely
