Beautiful Flowers

 I've recently found a company that has some super awesome products - Altenew!  They also have freebies!  These two cards were made using two of the free Coloring Pages.

This first card was water colored using water based ink for the leaves and using Distress Oxide for the flower.  I added some gems and a bow and placed this on some pretty shiny cardstock using pop dots, then to the card base.

For my second card I took a little more time and print two pages the same size.  For the first page I brushed some darker blue ink, then added some white and some lighter blue.  After it was dry I sprinkled some water over it to add some "droplets".  Then I cut the leaves and the flowers out (separately) and brushed ink onto each of them.  Once they were all colored, I glued them to the base layer (the blue layer).  The finishing touches were the bow and the gems.

Thanks for looking!  Hope you go check out what Altenew has for sale, and for free!  AND, they have some pretty cool inspiration and tutorials and whatnot.
