Hello sweet crafters,

I am thrilled to be joining amazing artists of Altenew and Guest designers for the biggest blog hop of the year at the  Altenew: A Year In Review Blog Hop + Giveaway and showcase my favourite - which I know you loved too, because you gave me your immense love and encouragement for these projects. 

You should be arriving here from the very talented Helen Kalb's blog, your next stop is our favourite crafter Jaycee Gasper.  In case you get lost in your hop, you can go back to the Altenew Blog and start from there or check the list of Designers listed there.

WATERCOLORED ROSE

I used the gorgeous Rose Tea stamp set and wanted to use the stunning Rose for a Clean and simple card and most importantly use the beautiful font of this stamp set. I stamped the beautiful rose and the leave on watercolor paper and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I colored it with watercolors and die cut them with their coordinating dies.

I heat embossed the sentiment in gold on a slightly smaller white card base and adhered my leaves and rose with glue and mounted them all on a pink cardbase with foam tape.

I have a video on my You tube channel, where I have shared a similar card with this gorgeous stamp set.If you have not watched, you can watch it here.

CAS WATERCOLORED CARD

For this card I used the gorgeous Craft Your Life Project kit - Hello Beautiful. I heat embossed Rose Gold crisp embossing powder and watercolored my flower. I die cut it and adhered on the dry embossed cardbase. 

I made 3 projects with the beautiful kit each showcasing different techniques and I have a video where I show how I make these that you can watch here.

or here.

Flowing Foliage Hello Card

For my next card I used just one leaf  from the Flowing foliage and die cut and used various inks to inkblend the segments and after I adhered the white skeleton of the leaf, I got the segments adhered too. For the hello, I used hello from the Craft - a- flower Primrose layering die set and diecut it in the same dark brown as my cardstock.

I made some foliage cards with True friends stamp set released in October that are very easy to make, you can watch it here or here
