Hi Friends! Not only do we have a new installment of the Altenew Paint-a-Flower series, BUT we have a brand new coloring medium to share with you today!

The new Paint-a-Flower: Sunflower stamp set features a nice cluster of flowers with plenty of petals to try out new coloring techniques. And speaking of new coloring techniques, check out the artistic watercolor pencils that are all pigment!
Not only are these colors vibrant on and off the page, but they are a joy to photograph too! Who wants to look at a tan wood exterior on all your pencils, let's just marvel at the beautiful pigment, right?!
