This is just pure coloring! You can still add details with these markers by layering a different color on top of your first color. Like the leaves for example, where I've added a few lines and dots to break up the solid color. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">If you're in the mood to try something new, I'd recommend picking up a set of the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4e2b8" target="_blank">Altenew Acrylic Markers</a> - they're quite inexpensive and come out to around a dollar per marker!

The included stencil set provides you the overall flower shape and then you just stamp the center. I love that this saves a bit of room in the stamp set (giving you more images/sentiments), but also is much more forgiving because you don't have to laboriously match up the stamp and stencil exactly. So smart! All of these flowers and leaves are from one round of the stencils and die. So many!</span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZcRxSe3OnH1Ucw04FvCn006LuHYJ-pMCSkTfFD7IcbuH2D5FimIkRig1Xd8cGtj6T_G0K0toW762Iu_XPb_b92ykwWpAPsUdLpB1goBZBaobiL-b2jVaqL2IUihSLXA9Mez_96o6ECOyiKhi9Cj7WwkhB5_fokip0UEkxqoogvkNOrgQMXyiavfnwBXjy/s990/Altenew-Outlined%20Love%20You%20Die,%20DD%20Floral%20Whimsy%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="990" data-original-width="990" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZcRxSe3OnH1Ucw04FvCn006LuHYJ-pMCSkTfFD7IcbuH2D5FimIkRig1Xd8cGtj6T_G0K0toW762Iu_XPb_b92ykwWpAPsUdLpB1goBZBaobiL-b2jVaqL2IUihSLXA9Mez_96o6ECOyiKhi9Cj7WwkhB5_fokip0UEkxqoogvkNOrgQMXyiavfnwBXjy/w640-h640/Altenew-Outlined%20Love%20You%20Die,%20DD%20Floral%20Whimsy%203.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Love You outline die is just beautiful in gold.

They aren't a medium I typically use, so this was a fun exercise to me. The two things I really love are </span></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">the vibrancy of colors - this was all done with one or possibly two coats in areas. These specific tubes are formulated to have less binding agents and more actual pigments than others, and </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">the ability to reuse them - the paint you squeezed out of the tube will become solid over time, so if you have to stop in the middle of painting, no worries. Just use your wet brush on the solid paint and continue painting! These have also been tested to reactivate quicker than others. </span></li></ol><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/48rdb" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="570" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcackNaaYHs_c7E9X10-erBsRnkdFUVEzvGhIdBhsBYTYQeZ9l7fnn2gYxceCzMI9ueG1dBlQ52iXFyc6R5ufsra7OVrApX2ttDYtZE65nUxiwQRwTKiYnPHZmzZ3QNeoSGTuBRrVHpZBsG2BEdIjFShKbiMUHCwcJL9JiPEeSSgUQaA6NjbyulIxEsGRU/s320/Screenshot%202023-09-26%20203532.png" width="268" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/48rdb" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Palette Perfection</span></a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZY81S4QA8WRaYbPUs_YL3RyHSMW9dTwg1PM6M_whnDVGdleSbnSo46QiR28UEj7KHiQtIZGKbC-0uLs5q7HbhL1tKQan33_wSO5wsjyws4S2BTgoYLQzBeP2xEOQ4o-xqQRON6mrjG30zFn7mPImYkbyXL44f_5VO885zxLTtgjLHxvvGh3q-tpjN80WY/s1080/Altenew-Watercolor%20Tubes,%20Precious%20Peony%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZY81S4QA8WRaYbPUs_YL3RyHSMW9dTwg1PM6M_whnDVGdleSbnSo46QiR28UEj7KHiQtIZGKbC-0uLs5q7HbhL1tKQan33_wSO5wsjyws4S2BTgoYLQzBeP2xEOQ4o-xqQRON6mrjG30zFn7mPImYkbyXL44f_5VO885zxLTtgjLHxvvGh3q-tpjN80WY/w640-h640/Altenew-Watercolor%20Tubes,%20Precious%20Peony%202.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span><br />I picked my FAVORITE floral set at Altenew - </span><a href="https://shrsl.com/48rdq" target="_blank">Precious Peony Stamp Set</a><span>. Aside from being beautiful, of course, the flowers are large enough to be able to play with color a bit, but not too large that you need to be expert at playing with color.

No problem! Do the opposite and cut it off! In this case you’ll notice I added the outlet back in lol. Initially when it was directly on top of the tree the outlet looked giant in comparison. But after die cutting several layers of chipboard underneath to bring the mice and outlet forward, and adding a piece of vellum underneath the make the background of the tree a little more foggy, I feel there’s enough separation of the outlet from the tree. In fact, the large white space of the outlet plays a visual calming role between the busy Christmas tree needles and the mice/lights. <br /><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhapZcCl_jpu_nkcq01lb0ZClUQ9yHbl1NHTlbVwbmrnoKrEYzwjKw-BXnJb7mG5eO4czDq6QvC_-kG9lRHVZ7JuTMaxNXGsRaH7xVU86pAEZUP6i4J9hLkFHSc7HpY4owleJP7FTQldZG3yJDq1Ui4e3_zUkRatSpqvHs-7UbJR5l-wfJlIIBO1CQK6mIC/s990/AJ834_Mice%20Lights_AJ830_Fox%20Tree_Kelly%20Griglione%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="990" data-original-width="990" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhapZcCl_jpu_nkcq01lb0ZClUQ9yHbl1NHTlbVwbmrnoKrEYzwjKw-BXnJb7mG5eO4czDq6QvC_-kG9lRHVZ7JuTMaxNXGsRaH7xVU86pAEZUP6i4J9hLkFHSc7HpY4owleJP7FTQldZG3yJDq1Ui4e3_zUkRatSpqvHs-7UbJR5l-wfJlIIBO1CQK6mIC/w640-h640/AJ834_Mice%20Lights_AJ830_Fox%20Tree_Kelly%20Griglione%204.jpg" width="640" /></span></a><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="yiv3166650865s2" style="background-color: white; outline: none !important;"><br />Don’t forget the little guy.

I'm so pleased to be celebrating them today! </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">You may have come from the sweet blog of <a href="http://www.rosieneustaedter.com/" target="_blank">Rosie Neustaedter</a>, but if not feel free to start at the beginning with the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Dps1-i2q" target="_blank">Altenew blog</a>. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRgyuK_tqv5rs0AJiB7HXlXufE5HCvoQV_PxDOquuQQ3x6pT46XFNYUea7IiRM-InPyMjb18uIK9RkjUSiD0wZ2X0cqejwoCzV7cAnhZ2PTSlLwbHfS_mz5onPq9suMsi4erfq-_b2N-ru7ng0lIv6zl0vq-s-F-vBx-2J0w8IERbTMo7e5JAi7NILHA/s1050/Altenew-Precious%20Peony,%20Framed%20Thanks%20Die%205.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="1050" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRgyuK_tqv5rs0AJiB7HXlXufE5HCvoQV_PxDOquuQQ3x6pT46XFNYUea7IiRM-InPyMjb18uIK9RkjUSiD0wZ2X0cqejwoCzV7cAnhZ2PTSlLwbHfS_mz5onPq9suMsi4erfq-_b2N-ru7ng0lIv6zl0vq-s-F-vBx-2J0w8IERbTMo7e5JAi7NILHA/w640-h640/Altenew-Precious%20Peony,%20Framed%20Thanks%20Die%205.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In thinking what to make in celebration of this big event, I decided to turn to my "extras" pile. I figured that it held a year's worth of scraps, so it would be the perfect way to celebrate this past year of Altenew! In the middle of this photo is the paper I used to mop up leftover paint on a sprayed stencil (<a href="https://shrsl.com/40f23" style="text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">Elegant Swirls Stencil</a>) - yep, that's the one I want to use. I also picked up the uncolored flower die and the gold "thanks" frame.<br /></span><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNr-HOMq3Eu8uV9xYg_xRC9UhMzrxLnmuNEASLqfpuFzU5KlO7mJMOiruEHZKoZkRMpjPkCcbl816MhjZw-RRKHBn662cVsKIPKtaZsp5KzuGMRsk5mQYlbrhvz8dLorNesy5wYpuZ93euETlM9SRfc_kc4TZCaMzbbl-8j_b1h94FPtuhHd-5oMDZHA/s1050/Altenew-Precious%20Peony,%20Framed%20Thanks%20Die%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="1050" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNr-HOMq3Eu8uV9xYg_xRC9UhMzrxLnmuNEASLqfpuFzU5KlO7mJMOiruEHZKoZkRMpjPkCcbl816MhjZw-RRKHBn662cVsKIPKtaZsp5KzuGMRsk5mQYlbrhvz8dLorNesy5wYpuZ93euETlM9SRfc_kc4TZCaMzbbl-8j_b1h94FPtuhHd-5oMDZHA/w640-h640/Altenew-Precious%20Peony,%20Framed%20Thanks%20Die%201.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And this is the result!
