Watercolor Floral with Altenew

Hello and Welcome!

I wanted to play with my "new to me" Altenew Inline Alpha die set and create a pretty floral background using the beautiful color combination of Altenew's card challenge.

I started by blending ink on white cardstock and die cutting the letters. The "happy" letters were also die cut from black cardstock two times and adhered to add depth and shadow.

The beautiful flowers and leaves from Altenew's Wild Hibiscus were stamped on Bristol paper. With it being so dreary outside, it is such a joy to watercolor them with bright, cheerful hues.  To finish off the card, the sentiment was heat embossed and sparkly sequins were added.
