Hey Crafty Friends,
This is my first PAF release hop. You likely found me from Verity Biddlecombe’s blog.
For today’s Paint-a-Flower release from Altenew I have a beautiful bouquet created using watercolor pencils.
This was a great design for coloring.
Plus I used one of my favorite color combinations, pink and black for this card.
The Details
The flowers are embossed with Altenew Obsidian Black Pigment Ink with clear embossing powder. The background is Jet Black Ink splatters.
After I colored in the complete design I went over the flowers and leaves with an almost dry watercolor brush to create the different hues in the petals.
The sentiment is from the Fancy Greetings Stamp set and was made with Versamark ink, and Altenew White Embossing Powder.
Be sure to stop by Yoonsun Hur when you leave here.
Thanks for stopping by today and spending time with me.

Great color idea share for the set.

Your card is lovely and coloring amazing. Pink with the black is perfect.
Thank you
You did great for your first PAF card! Dry watercoloring? Interesting.
Thank you Linda. I call it “dry” but in reality the brush is slightly damp! Just enough to move the color around with lots of patience:)
Really gorgeous watercoloring and the combo is lovely.
Thanks
I really like how you achieved the variation on the petals, leaving their tips so light. I agree the pink and black make a great combo.
Thanks Pauline

Very pretty color pairing. I love the pink and green combo for spring but the black and white with it makes it all more elegant. (and I really thought you used silver to emboss the sentiment. I was really surprised to read it was in white)
Thank you so much!
Oh Wow!! LOVE both the colors you used and the card design!
That’s very nice of you Patty
