Watercoloring with Nuvo Shimmer Powders

Hello... Dawn here to share a card with some watercoloring.

Altenew is our sponsor this month, and the challenge prize is Altenew Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set ($49.99 value). Altenew will issue a 100% discount code to the winner.

This month's challenge: Watercoloring

Don't forget to you also have to use a die/embossing etc - anything as long as you use your die cut machine.

I used Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit - Hello Beautiful in this card. I started by using Altenew silver embossing powder to emboss the largest flower from the stamp set in the kit onto some mixed media paper. For my watercolouring I took some Nuvo shimmer powders and tapped a small amount into the wells in a painting palette and added some water. I used a blue, pinky red, yellow and green powders. This makes the most amazing shimmery paint. I added the paint to the image using two colours on each flower and leaf. Once it had dried I used the matching dies to cut it out. Next step was to die cut a panel using Altenew's Mix and Match frame dies and add some splatters with the paints and some with black paint as well. I layered this panel over some light green card so you can see it through the holes. The sentiment is from Altenew's Sentiment Strips #3. It's layered onto some silver card.

I hope you're inspired to play along, I'll see you in the challenge gallery.

Watercolor Background

Hello there,

Cindy here to share another watercolor project.

For today's project I did some ink smooshing using my Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set and created a rather dreamy background, and yet it is still quite front and centered.
