When I was browsing the Bumbleberry shop, the Flower Garden stamp set from Altenew stood out and I knew it would be perfect to colour in. If you’re like me and don’t always want to spend hours colouring in, this stamp set is perfect for loose water colouring with heat embossing. This technique allows you to add colour but you don’t have to be perfect and it will still look amazing. Loose watercoloured florals often create very modern artistic looking cards with hardly any effort, yet the recipient will think you spent ouse on it!

creating the Loose watercoloured florals
To start off, stamp a selection of the florals and leaves from the Altenew Flower Garden stamp set onto watercolour paper using your MISTI stamping platform. Make sure you use embossing ink to stamp the designs so you can cover this with Platinum embossing powder. Heat set the powder using a heat gun and you’re now ready to colour.
