Hello, hi!
Today Altenew is introducing the latest Build-A-Flower stamp and die set, plus doing a Giveaway! Each month Altenew releases another Build-A-Flower set and I think the Cattleya Orchid this month is especially beautiful!

I was itching to watercolor again – I hadn’t done any for a while – so I elected to use the outline stamped image and paint it in.

I love to do this style of watercolor painting – not worrying too much about staying inside lines, or the correct areas for light and dark. I also love to spread the color out into the background and let it blend and dry as it likes. There are a lovely selection of sentiments in this stamp set and in my favorite typewriter font!

Of course it needs a few paint speckles to be considered finished!

For this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to SIX lucky winners! All you need to do is click on over to the Altenew card blog and/or the Altenew scrapbook blog and leave a comment there. Three winners will be selected from each of those sites and will be announced on August 8.
As well, if you leave a comment here, you’ll have an additional chance to win a $20 Altenew Gift Certificate. Thank you so much for stopping by!
