Hi! It's Jocelyn on the blog today.
For my stamp focus, I'm sharing three ways to use the new Wild Hibiscus set. It's such a gorgeous set!
I heat embossed two of the flowers from the Wild Hibiscus with clear embossing powder and then watercolored over the images. To emphasize the edges, I colored over the borders.
I fussy cut both flowers and popped them up on the panel. For the sentiment, I used one of the sentiments in the Wild Hibiscus set in silver ink.
For my next card, I used the set two ways:
First, I stamped a background in gold ink. I used several of the stamps in the set:
Next, I stamped one of the longer flowers in Altenew's Jet Black ink. I heat embossed another sentiment from the Wild Hibiscus set on patterned paper, and then I added a few gold embellishments.
For my last project, I made a tag:
It has been a while since I used my colored pencils and even longer since I used them on kraft. These flowers look great on kraft! After I colored the flower, I fussy cut the image. Since there weren't borders around the entire flower, I had to approximate. ;)
I stamped a third sentiment from the Wild Hibiscus set. I added the chipboard star and washi tape to add a little sparkle.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you do with the Wild Hibiscus set. Be sure to link up your projects in the Altenew gallery or tag @altenewllc on Instagram.

Thanks, Christine! I’m pretty rusty coloring on kraft, so it’s great to hear you liked the tag! :)
