Hero Arts + Altenew Partners Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Hero Arts + Altenew Partners Blog Hop! This creative blog hop is all about celebrating 45 years of Hero Arts and more importantly – Celebrating our industry!!

You probably came from Norine Borys. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Hero Arts blog  and see what other participants have created. 

Altenew has designed this beautiful floral set for Hero Arts to celebrate this event and you will see a lot of amazing projects designed by the blog hop participants using this set

This huge flower was begging me to be watercolored and I did so.

Watercolor Floral Card. Card by Svitlana Shayevich

I stamped the flowers using a very light ink onto a watercolor panel. T hen I masked the flower off and stamped several leaves “beneath” it.

Then I went ahead and watercolored the image using Altenew watercolors.

I used blue for the flower, green for the leaves and background I decided to make brown. I really like combination of blue and brown.

Then I added splatters of the same colors on top, followed by adding splatters of a white paint.

I stamped a sentiment from the set using the Ocean Waves Dye Ink, fussy cut it and popped it up onto the panel. Which I adhered onto a white card base.

Lastly I added several Snow crystals.

    Love the varying shades of blue you achieved with the watercolours. Putting the brown in the background gives this card a natural look, sort of like the bloom fell off of the bush & is laying on the ground. I like the look of this. So nice two great companies are collaborating.
