Well, Hi there crafters!
I was pretty busy making cards throughout December and January and I let you know that I would be sharing a lot in the new year, well, here I am again guest designing for Altenew! Third time this month!!
I feel pretty lucky about that actually as it really is not a hardship designing and using their stamping products. The quality is wonderful and the designs amaze me as I am sure they do you.
I have a couple of cards to share with you as part of the blog hop but first, let me tell you a bit about it..

To celebrate, Altenew are giving away $200 in total prizes!
Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a $15 gift certificate to 10 winners! All you have to do is to leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 01/28/2021 for a chance to win.

Below are a couple of card projects that I completed using the Paint-A-Flower : Camellia stamp. I hope my designs will inspire you to get some valuable time with yourself and get creating!
Watercolouring seems really intimidating to me. I see so many amazing projects on social media of artists and I feel as though I am out of my depth with it. Sometimes, when I want to watercolour but feel as though I just can not do it, I bring out my Zig markers. Don't worry, I am going to do 'real' watercolouring when I feel more confident, but I really wanted to make the most of colouring this beautiful Camellia image.
The second card project, because of course I am unable to stop at just one project, hahaha...is the same beautiful Paint-A-Flower Camellia but this time I coloured it with Copic markers and the die cut it. I wanted to have the opposite of the card above and have dimension this time. I love to have a bit of texture, so you will see I (yet again) used the Grid Cover Die.
Buuuuuut, I embossed with it instead!!
Are you impressed? because I am!
After fussy cutting out the Camellia image, I then popped it on top of
the embossed background. I made good use of the new really handy Simple Greetings Die set, released earlier this month by adding one in the centre of the card. Add a few embellishments, and voila!
