Hi crafty peeps! Once again, I am excited and honored to be a guest designer for the July Release of Artistry By Altenew’s Paint-by-Numbers Instant Artist sets! I cannot remember the last time I did a paint by number…. lol, probably back when I was a kid, so holy cow was this a fun release! It brought back all the feels 🙂 I used the Altenew Acrylic markers on both of these patterns, however, I did a lot of mixed media experimenting with the Lillies. These two sets, Feathered Foliage and Artistic Blooms are 8″ x 10″ sheets, perfect for framing, or you can cut them down to card size as I did. The sheets are made of 140 pound water color cardstock (so it will hold up to pretty much anything you put on it-and trust, me, I used as many media as I could!) If you are unsure on your ability of using the acrylic markers, or don’t trust your own hand to follow the lines, let me tell you, turning the Lillies into a mixed media project really changed the game of following the lines. I layered acrylic markers, watercolor, woodless watercolor pencils, and the dual tip pens. I finished it off with a coat of iridescent spray. If anything, these are a great way to practice layering media which is a huge crafty passion of mine.
The third card is from the smaller Blossoming Florals set. I paired the tulips sheet with the Tulips stencil and embossing folder. After coloring the paint by number sheet, I cut the flowers and leaves out and layered them over the embossed background, using bits of foam tape to add depth.
I really love the options with these sets! Head on over to the Altenew store to get yours, just click the link below:
