Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway (over $1,900 in Total Prizes)
Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! I’m super thrilled to join Altenew for the 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway. You should be arriving here from the talented Annemarie’s blog, but if not, you can go back to the start, at the Altenew Card Blog and go from there.
First, I stamped the image from the Paint-A-Flower: African Daisy Outline Stamp Set on an A2 white cardstock using Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink. Next, I masked the image using a masking sheet. I then placed the outside portion of the Cloud Scene Stencil on one side of the card panel and covered the other side using the inner portion of the stencil. I used washi tape to hold the stencil in place. After that, I coloured the sky using Tide Blue, Starlight and Azurite Crisp Dye Inks, and I coloured the grass using Just Green, Hunter Green and Evergreen Crisp Dye Inks along with my ink blending brushes. I then smooshed Azurite and Evergreen Crisp Dye inks on my craft mat and then splattered them on the sky and ground using a round brush.
Next, I removed the stencil and unmasked the image. I then used my Artist Markers from the English Country Garden, Sunshine Valley Garden, and Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Marker Sets to colour them.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the Crafty Friends Stamp Set using Obsidian Pigment Ink.
