We are excited to be celebrating Altenew’s second anniversary by participating in their fabulous blog hop! Using both Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L\u00ae<\/strong> and Altenew<\/strong> products, our Designer Lisa Adametz created this wonderful Be A Voice watercolor card. Congratulations to our friends at Altenew!!<\/p>\n

Hi crafters! It\u2019s Lisa for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L\u00ae today for this amazing collaborative hop with Altenew<\/a>. I\u2019m thrilled to be sharing a card made with BOTH products today for the hop.<\/p>\n

Be A Voice Card<\/h2>\n

This card started of as a small 4 x 4\u2033 piece of watercolor cardstock. I simply added some beautiful blends of watercolor and allowed them to flow. Using Pigment Powders in\u00a0Wine, Gold, and Blue and mixing a bit of water with the pigment powders I then brushed the colors over areas I wished to add a bit of shimmer and shine.<\/p>\n

After allowing the watercolor to dry, a few of the stamps from the Altenew set, Botanical Garden<\/a>, were stamped in Versamark Ink and heat embossed in gold embossing powder. I also used colored pencils to add definition and contrast to the images.<\/p>\n

Using the Adhesive Dots Mini<\/a>,\u00a0I was then able to adhere 4mm Droplets to the watercolor piece. These tiny little adhesive dots are so perfect for your small sequins and dew drops, etc. You\u2019ll never know they\u2019re there!<\/p>\n

The Be a Voice sentiment was stamped using an archival ink from the Altenew set, Painted Inspiration<\/a>. Next, I rounded corners of the panel and then placed 3D Foam Squares Black Regular<\/a> on the back side.<\/p>\n

Now cut a piece of 8.5 x 11″ Kraft cardstock to make a 4\u00bc x 5\u00bd\u201d base card that is scored on the vertical edge. Cut a piece of patterned paper 1\/8\u2033 smaller to fit the front and adhered\u00a0to the base card\u00a0using the E-Z Runner\u00ae Ultra Refillable Dispenser<\/a>. Wrap a piece of organza ribbon around the front of the card and tied tightly in a bow, trimming off the ends. Then a piece of pink twine was wrapped around the center of the organza bow and tied in another bow. All of this is secured from the back using an Adhesive Dot 3D<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The liner papers may now be removed from the 3D Foam Squares and placed onto the card, at a slight angle. And *poof* it\u2019s all done! Watercolor backgrounds with beautiful stamps like these from Altenew are so easy and fun.<\/p>\n
