Hello friends. I'm popping in to share a card for the November Altenew challenge. I love the pretty color combo that is offered and challenged myself to use them with one of my favorite stamp sets, Altenew's Festive Poinsettia.
To color the poinsettia I pulled out my Altenew gouache paints. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination when it comes to coloring with different mediums, but it is fun to try your hand at something outside your comfort zone. I wanted to see if I could manage to combine the pink and soft purple colors in my poinsettia and I think I achieved that goal. It was definitely interesting coloring with the gouache paints as the color seems to be a bit flatter to me than with watercolors. To create a bit more separation when some of the bracts overlapped each other I used a medium pink Polychromos pencils. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how things turned out.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
