Altenew and Scrapbook Adhesives Blog Hop

Hello!


Today I'm participating on a collaboration blog hop between Altenew and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. You probably just came from AJ Otto's blog if not please start at the beginning from Altenew blog.
This time I went out from my comfort zone and tried to be more loose with watercolours. You've seen a lot of detailed copic combined with coloured pencils work from me lately. I'm loving that medium but I wanted to try something different this time. I have a few Zig Clean colour markers and wanted to try them out for this hop. Quite different this time, hopefully you like it anyways. So here is my project for today:

Stamps used: Painted Butterflies, Golden Garden and Sketchy Cities America 2
Adhesives used: E-Z Runner Permanent Strips and DODZ Small.

I stepped the flowers using Zig Clean colour markers and Distress inks. Then I coloured and added shadows with the same mediums. For the butterflies I cut them out with my scissors and then used DODZ to adhere them to my card panel. To adhere my watercolored panel to my card base I used E-Z Runner Permanent Strips.

Supplies:
Adhesives: E-Z Runner Permanent Strips and DODZ Small by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Inks: Versafine Onyx Black, Hickory Smoke Distress Ink
Paper: Daler & Rowney Simply... Watercolour 190gm2/90lb, Papermania Textured Card Stock
Markers: Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers - English Lavender and Dull Blue

GIVEAWAY:
To celebrate this blog hop, Altenew will draw two winners who will each receive a $30 gift certificate to their online store. Also, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L will draw two winners who will each receive a prize packs valued $30. Winners will be randomly drawn from all comments left along the hop, comments must be left by Monday, Nov 23 11:59 EST. Winners will be announced at Altenew and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blogs shortly after.

GET HOPPING:
Your next stop will be Judy Hayes. Here are also the full list of participants of this hop.

    Well, you obviously are a master of Zig Clean color as well as Copics. Personally, I think you could use Crayola Crayons, you're so skilled a coloring. This one is another one of your masterpieces. Simply glorious.

    I have seen your sample on the Altenew website for the Beautiful Day stamp set, and I ordered it this evening. Your artwork is amazing, and I can only hope to do justice to the set, but it won't be nearly as lovely and detailed as your. Thank you for sharing and don't stop!!
    This card here is beautiful, too! I love the blue shades - shows you don't need millions of colors to create something beautiful. Julie
