Watercolor Flower Card - Artists’ Watercolor 101 for Paper Crafters - AECP Level 3

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you my third completed card for the Altenew Academy Level 3 Classes – Artists' Watercolor 101 for Paper Crafters, taught by Emily Midgett. The course demonstrated how to apply different watercolour techniques, laying down layers of colour to achieve greater depth and dimension in watercolouring. 

I am very new to watercolouring and Emily provided such great guidance and tips. If you ever wonder how to start with watercolouring this is the perfect class. 

For today's card I used a few Watercoloring Techniques using the Altenew Delicate Garden Stamp & Die Set and Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set. I just love the beautiful soft and intense pigmented colouring I achieved.

First I created a wet-on-wet watercolor background using the Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set, Altenew Watercolor Paper Pad and Altenew Watercolor Brush Set. 

Following on from this I added splatters using the Altenew Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set and Altenew Watercolor Fine Brush. I then adhered it onto the card front using the Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape.

I then stamped the Altenew Delicate Garden Stamp onto the Altenew Watercolor Paper Pad using the Altenew Stampwheel and Blackout Ink on 3.

Following on from this I water coloured the flower image using the Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set and Altenew Watercolor Brush Set. I used the Fresh Lemon, Bamboo, Warm Sunshine, Forest Glades and Espresso. 

I then die-cut the water coloured image with the Altenew Delicate Garden Die and adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots.

To finish I die-cut white and blue cardstock with the Altenew Envelope Liner Hello Die to create a shadow effect sentiment. I adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots and added some sequins.

I will share more of my projects from the AECP as I work my way through the courses so stay tuned for more cardmaking posts!
