Watercolour Flowers

I can't get enough of the watercolour flower set from Altenew. I could spend all day trying out different colour combinations.

I wanted to combine a cornflower blue with a purple, but Distress Inks don't have that blue. First I tried with Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire, but it is rather sombre. So not all combinations work the way you envisaged!


So then I gave up using the ink and spritz technique and went with layers and the Altenew inks.


This is inspired by the Muse Challenge #234 made by Kim Heggins :

  • Her colours
  • Her design and placement
  • Using layered stamps
