Hello friends!
Warning: heavy photo post
Today is a special blog hop as we celebrate the release of Metallic Watercolor Pan set.
As you may know, Altenew has a great assortment of watercolor medium.
The latest?
I am super excited to share 2 projects with you.
If you arrive from the blog of LauraJane , you are in the right place!
All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog
First up, it is my first take with the Metallic Watercolor Pan Set.
For the background, I mixed the Altenew Embossing Paste with the Altenew Mountain Mist Watercolor Brush Markers ( any Altenew ink can be substituted). I applied the paste over the Classy Stripes Stencil and left it to dry.
Now.... here is the beauty of the metallic sheen!
I applied them all over the water-colored image. Not only this leaves a lovely shine on the image, you can use it to tone down or enhance the color palette!
The Happy Pomegranate Stamp & Die Bundle are ideal for coloring.
My next card is focusing on the Metallic Gold Colors.
I stared out creating a stenciled background with Bubble Wrap Stencil and Altenew Antique Gold Metallic Ink Spray Mist and Frosty Pink Metallic Spray Mist.
I then heavily colored the die cut hearts from Halftone Hearts Nesting Die.
You can also see the textures from Dotted Swirl Cover Die.
Sentiment is from Sentiment Strips.
I hope my cards give your some ideas about the Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set.
It is definitely great addition to to add shine with light and dark card stock with your watercolor supplies.

Perfect cards to showcase the shimmer and shine, Virginia!! Love the earthy look of the first card especially!
Beautiful! I love these new shimmering paints!
Lovely--I like the idea of adding the inks to paste for a glimmer effect.
I’m loving these watercolors with each project I see. Fantastic job!

Using the cover die on the heart was perfect for this card.
Awesome Metallic watercolors and Gorgeous creations!
Love that your cards showed how the metallic paints can be used differently but still offer such a wonderful addition to a card to bring in to the Wow level. Thank you Virginia
Your first card is absolutely stunning! And the second
one is pretty good too!
Can't wait to try these metallic watercolors! Beautiful cards! I really love the way the pomegranate turned out!
Had to pause to shop...and the metallic watercolors are on their way to me. Love the sheen...hard to see in the photos but my old eyes finally adjusted. These cards are gorgeous...can't wait to see what else you do with them.
Lovely coloring to make lovely cards - I can't wait to give these new paints a try!
Another gorgeous look for the pomegranate. I must try this.

Beautiful cards! It seems like you had fun creating them with these terrific materials.
These metallic paints are so gorgeous. The details jump off the page.
I love the heart one! The metallics are amazing!
Absolutely stunning cards, Virginia. I just love the Mountain Mist colored embossing paste. I've never used my waterbrush pens to do that so I'm adding that to my new techniques to try! Your cards really showcased the new metallic watercolors beautifully. Thank you for the inspiration!
Such beautiful cards. These metallic paints are going to be a real winner, I think!
Very pretty cards.

Both of your cards really show off the beauty of the new metallic colors. Really like the pomegranate card with the striped background and the shimmery effect of the colors on the fruit .
I love love love your work. I need those beautiful watercolors. Thank you for the inspiration.
Both cards are great examples of the versatility of these Metallic inks Virginia. I particularly liked the Happy Pomegranate card with the coloured embossing paste lines behind. The hearts are lovely & I like that you embossed them as well with the die.
Both cards are just lovely! Wonderful color choices for the pomegranate card. The heart card is so sweet.

Wonderful projects. These metallic watercolors are gorgeous, and I'm sure they're even more beautiful "in person" (as opposed to in a photograph).
