AECP - Embossed and watercoloured flowers


This is my project for the Stunningly Simple Watercolour Techniques classes at the Altenew Educator Certification Program. [Apologies: correction this module is not part of the Level 1 AECP program]

I was inspired by the Colouring Embossed Images module and the colours for the Altenew August Inspiration Challenge.

The flowers were embossed in gold and watercoloured with the new Altenew paints.

Thanks so much for looking!

Beautiful watercoloring (as always!) with gold heat-embossing, Sue! The white-on-white background panel adds interest, not distracting the focus on the flowers. Hideko xx

Your watercolouring is so beautiful, the classes are definitely working for you. And love those colours against the white background, especially with that fabulous die-cut for dimension. Its a gorgeous card and I'm so glad you shared it with us at TIME OUT!

One of my favorite techniques here... I love watercoloring heat embossed images The cover plate you used makes a wonderful background and adds nice contrast to the artsy look of the flowers. Thanks for joining us at TIME OUT!
