Paint-a-Flower: Coral Sunset
I recently made a video on the Altenew YouTube Channel about adding details to cards. This card was the initial spark to that video. While I love coloring the Altenew Paint-a-Flower outline images, I wanted to try something else. The details on this card stemmed from embroidery art…then it led to tattoos…and then suddenly I found myself daydreaming of a haunting and dark floral arrangement.
I started with a simple mask of the arrangement that I made from typing paper. I stamped the main outline image in the cluster as shown with Permanent Black Ink. I used my favorite 9X12 Watercolor Pad as my watercolor paper. Then I used Jet Black watercolor from the 36 Watercolor Pan Set to add slight shadow details to the petals. Then I obliterated the leaves and stems by blacking them out completely for that deep and daring feeling.
I finished the card with added dots and cross hatch details using the Fine Liner Pen Set from Altenew. Then I added white splatters and a coordinating sentiment from the Forever in Love Stamp Set.
Here is that video I mentioned earlier, by the way.

This is really beautiful; but in a melancholy kind of way. I can almost imagine soft blues music playing. This is a very neat way to use the stamp set.

Wow, Jaycee. I don’t know how people are saying “simple” in relation to this card because a lot of thought, creative stamping, painting and pen work has gone into this. The result is, as you said, dark and dramatic, and it’s just beautiful.
