Thank you so much, Altenew for this Awesome opportunity.

You would have arrived from Yoosun Hur ‘s blog. Hop over to the Altenew blog to check all the stops and beautiful cards churned by the Wonderful Artists around the world.

South Indians call their Mother as AMMA, and I grew up with my granny and lovingly call her MA. These words are SO much filled with emotions and must say, all my Creative Streaks are from both of them! Today’s card is dedicated to to them.

Over to my card,

My card features Pond Flowers Die Set.

Other products are:

Artists’ markers (Alcohol markers)

Poured Acrylics 6×6 paper pack

Fine Alphabets Die Set

Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp set

Framed Sentiments Die Set

Mix & Match Frames Die Set

I have die cut the pretty florals using Pond flowers Die set from coloured cardstocks and added depth and shadows using Artists’ Alcohol markers. Included white gel accents on leaves and floral die cuts for added interests. Created a shaker card using patterned paper from Poured Acrylics 6×6 pack for the Pond Die cut and added heart shaker elements with a frosty thick acrylic sheet on top to the pond die cut.

The word AMMA is also from the same patterned paper (used for the pond) using Fine Alphabet Die. All the florals and Word die cuts are assembled on top as shown here. The green focal panel is from same pp pack and its diecut using Mix & Match Frame Die set. It’s added using strong liquid adhesive. Sub sentiment is stamped on to pp and die cut using Framed Sentiments Die set and added just below the word AMMA. The focal panel is then added to the Off white card base to finish off the card.

And now for the exciting part!! Giveaway!!

Hi from Chennai, India.

Greetings!

I am SO honoured and humbled to be part of this Artists’ Watercolor Tubes Blog Hop at Altenew. Always love Altenew’s pretty and unique designs of floral stamps and their various colouring medium has increased my colouring ability. This new launch by Artistry by Altenew is no exception. I prefer to use tubes of liquid paint rather than dried palettes. And this is my preferred way of using and find it much easier to mix colours when used this way. The limited palette is a great starting point and provide you endless colour options you can create on your own. Love the beautiful vibrancy of these colours. Thanks so much Artistry by Altenew for this Awesome Opportunity.

Stamped the image onto a Cold pressed Watercolor paper using Limestone Crisp Dye ink and did noline watercoloring here. After colouring, generously splashed with white paint to achieve this look.
