Thanks You're So Sweet - No-Line Watercoloring with Altenew Floral Frame Stamps

Hi Friends! 

Today, I'm sharing a sneak peek into my next Monday Favorites feature.

I'll be showcasing a few of my recent favorite stamps, including the beautiful Floral Frame stamp set from Aletenew. It's stolen my heart. Big time! 

To start this card, I used the sweet rose clusters from the stamp set to make an oval frame. It took only a stamp on each corner to get it to look this intricate! Love it when stamps make it easy like that. 

I stamped the images with PTI's Soft Stone ink so that I could do a little bit of no-line watercoloring.  

To color the flowers, I used a variety of watercolors, starting with one of my favorite inexpensive palettes, followed by a bit of intense color added with my Zig markers. I really like the mix of these two types of colors - it gives the image such a nice depth. 

At the center of my card, I added a gold puffy sticker wreath, with a few dashes of white paint and some silver rhinestones. 

At the center I stamped a sentiment using the same stamp set, stamped in Winter Wisteria and Raspberry Fizz ink. I also added a couple of cabachon roses to keep in theme with the card's design. 

For each of the corners, I added a little puffy heart sticker - really loving the dimension these give! 

Lastly, I added some paint spatters and Nuvo Crystal drops in white and Nuvo Jewel drops in Sea Breeze.

I'll be back soon to with a Monday Favorites wrap-up post on all of these yummy products and a few other favorites I'm crushing on!

Thanks for joining me today!
