ANZAC Day with Altenew Poppies

 Welcome to Die Cut Divas today - here in NZ and Australia today (25th April) is ANZAC Day - when we acknowledge and commemorate all those who served in the army forces.  The ANZAC's were the Australia and New Zealand Army Corp who fought during the First World War and on the 25 April 1915 the ANZAC's landed in Gallipoli in Turkey.  The landing point later became know as Anzac Cove.  

Here in NZ and Australia we wear poppies to commemorate by wearing a poppy.  So today I am sharing a poppy card as part of this month's challenge. 



Established in April 2014, Altenew has quickly become a leader in the inspiration industry and continues to innovate and influence the world of paper crafts. Altenew strives to encourage crafters to express their own unique creativity through the art of paper crafting.

The Challenge for this month is: Water Coloring!
You can watercolor anything on your project, just remember to include 
a die cut or use an embossing folder in your design!

The Prize from Altenew


I used Altenew's Paint a Flower - Iceland Poppies.  I coloured with Altenew's Woodless Watercolor Pencils.  A little bit of gold pen to add some details.  I fussy cut the bouquet.  I used Altenew Mix and Match Frames to cut the centre navy panel and the red panel.   I added white splatter (need a bit more practice using Altenew's white spray)  I layered the panels onto a navy base.  Used a sentiment from the set die cut with Featured Sentiment dies. 

Do come and join us with your watercolor projects.

Watercoloring a Thank You Card with Altenew

Welcome to Die Cut Divas. It's Sue here with a new card today. Our challenge this month is

WATER COLORING

We are so happy to have Altenew as our sponsor this month. They will be awarding our winner an Altenew Artist's Watercolor 24 pan set, valued at $49.99. Thank you Altenew.



I think that Spring may finally be coming. So for my card, I was inspired by all the blossoms and flowers that have popped up. Here's my card


For my card, I used Altenew's Hello Sunshine stamp set for all the flowers and foliage. I used distress inks, water and a paint brush to add color. For the sentiment, I heat embossed with Altenew's Floral Shadow stamp set and silver embossing powder on vellum. For specific details on how I created my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

We'd love to see your watercoloring projects in our gallery this month.

Thanks for stopping by.

Metallic Watercolor Card

 Hello there,

It's Cindy here to share another inspiration for this month's challenge, our theme is Watercolors.  

I must admit, the first thing that pops into mind when I see the word watercolors is floral.  But I am breaking out of that today.  I used Altenew Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set and created this non-floral, gender neutral card.

I had lots of fun creating that background panel by just adding the various colors, and then doodled on it. For full supply list, please visit my blog Escape To Stamping.

Our sponsor this month is Altenew, and our challenge winner will Altenew Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set valued at $49.99 USD.


See you in the challenge gallery!
