With the formalities taken care of, here's what I have crafted with this beautiful Camellia Stamp...

Swoon!!!! Painted flower perfection!

Oh my! How preeeeeetty! I.can't.even!!! 

This Paint-A-Flower: Camellia Outline Stamp Set is SO Beautiful!

Altenew Supplies:Paint-A-Flower: Camellia Outline Stamp Set, Watercolor 36 Pan Set, Permanent Black Crisp Ink, Celebrate Scrapbook Collection, Enamel Dots: Shades of Purple, Tropical Forest and Warm & Cozy, & Fine Liner Pen Set. 

I think it's no secret that I had so much fun stamping & painting these cards! 

Let's take a better look at them...

Oh aren't they just divine?!!

To keep them looking like a set, I've used the beautiful Celebrate Scrapbook papers for all three card bases, as well as sprinkled Enamel Dots for the embellishments.

Super pretty blooms and such encouraging sentiments - love it!

For these two cards, I simply stamped with the Permanent Black Crisp Ink and then painted with the Watercolor 36 Pan Set. Simple, and yet so effective! 

Beautiful!

But it's this card that really has my heart...

So.much.gorgeousness!

No line coloring for the win! 

To create this card, I stamped the Paint-A-Flower: Camellia Outline Stamp onto some scrap paper until the Permanent Black Crisp Ink was almost completely disappeared. I then stamped (with the barely visible ink) the Camellia image onto my card, and used it as a painting guide for my watercoloring. 

Here's a few close-ups for you...

Truly stunning!

So much beauty with the Paint-A-Flower: Camellia Outline Stamp Set! 

I hope my cards have inspired you today! 

Get yours HERE!

Altenew Mini Delight Polar Bear Instagram Hop

Hi Friends! 

Today I’m joining in on a fun Instagram Hop with Altenew to celebrate the release of

Altenew’s Mini Delight: Polar Bear Stamp & Die Set!

Isn't this the sweetest?! 

Did you know that Altenew have an exclusive Mini Delight Club? 

Never suffer FOMO again! This subscription saves you 20% off, too! #winning!

Join the Mini Delight Club HERE

This Mini Delight set is so super cute that I just had to create a couple of cards to share with you! 

Here's what I came up with....

Sigh! Such sweet cards!

Altenew Supplies: Mini Delight Polar Bear, Mountain Scene Stencil, Crisp Dye Inks, Ink Blending Tool-Small, 2 in 1 Precision Glue. 

Let's take a better look at each individual card...

Isn't this just divine?!

I know it's a Polar Bear set, but I really wanted to showcase how versatile this lil stamp and die set could be! I just adore the Great Outdoors vibes that this card evokes! Kinda has me dreaming of the Canadian Rockies!

You'll spy that I used the new Altenew Blending Tool with the Mountain Scene Stencil to create that awesome wilderness background. I also mixed the Crisp Dye Inks with a bit of water on an acrylic stamping block, and painted that very pretty skyline. Just gorgeous!

Beary sweet, indeed! 

The use of both light and dark Kraft cardstock really enhanced the warmer tones, and nature feels of this card! LOVE it!

My second card is more predictable, but just as lovely....

Winter Wonderland perfection! 

Aren't those Polar Bears errrrrything?!

To give a more Arctic feel, I created a very subtle Northern Lights sky using the Crisp Dye Inks and my watercolor brushes. I altered the Mountain Scene Stencil so that it appeared more like a glacier and frozen lake too. Simple, and yet so effective!

I think you'll agree that this really is the sweetest mini stamp & die set around! 

You can shop this amazing Mini Delight HERE
