Hello, and welcome to the Altenew July 2015 Blog Hop! If you came from the amazing Laura Bassen’s blog, you are right on track! Today the design team girls are sharing some fabulous projects to celebrate the release of nine new stamp sets, and here is what I came up with:
I created a garden themed thank you card using the images from Garden Grow and the sentiment from Layered Lily. To color the images, I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens for the first time. It’s not perfect, but I love how my coloring turned out.
I made a processing video on how I created my card. You can watch the video tutorial here or in HD on YouTube. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel, too. 🙂
Yesterday I posted a sneak peek of this card on my Instagram with this caption “This is the reason why I don’t like adding ink splatters on my card. I already ruined my two finished cards.” Then I got a lot of encouraging comments from my IG friends, and their sweet words gave me some comfort and confidence. Seriously crafty friends are the best! 🙂

Oh May-May!!! I adore your darling potting-shed scene!!! Yes, indeed, this is my favorite set of the release!
=] M
May, your cards soo cool!! It was a right decision to left the one with splashes!! like it!
Your cards are both beautiful. I am not comfortable with ink splatters either, as they are not controllable enough. I do think yours turned out nicely. The garden scene and your coloring are wonderful. Thanks for the video.
May, your card is absolutely amazing! I love both cards…with and without splatters!
Love your card. Flowers what else can I say.
May, I think your coloring is beautiful and I like BOTH cards….neat stamp set.
Love the sweet scene you have created, May. I avoid ink splatters, too, but I really like how yours really add something to the design.
So cute! I love all the little details in this scene. It takes a good eye to make it work. LOVE it!
So many cute details and a beautiful card!
Both are wonderful, May! Perfect coloring.. 🙂
All those little containers are so adorable! This scene really reminds me of my favourite plant store ^^
Oh I love this stamp set. It is so unique. Little pots are adorable and little animals too!
I love your cards, May. I love the one without the splatters better, too. Love how you colored the cards with the Zig markers!
Beautiful flower scene. Actually, I like the splatters. Adds another dimension to the card.
Love this one-layer card!! And you are so cute!! I like both cards but I think I actually like the ink splatters one more! The splatters make it a bit more fun!
So cute and beautiful card! Thank you
So pretty!
Love this card!
Love your card. I prefer the card without the splatters. I guess it is because I also have problems with ink splatters. they never land where I want them to on the card!
Your coloring is near perfect and that’s as close as nature gets too! The card is great with or w/o the spatters. The frugalcrafter always spatter and says if you use colors from card you cant go wrong. Maybe if you add a bit of green, purple and brown it will soften the contrast for you and you’ll like it more. I like itanyway. TFS.
May, those are adorable!!!
Beautiful shading on your pots!
I think splatters on your card gives charm
Subscribed to your Youtube and looooove this! An absolutely beautiful job from the splatters to the tiny details in the shading. Love, love, love!
your cards are lovely and enjoyed your video
Fabulous garden scene and wonderful coloring!!
Cute scene! Love it with, and without, the splatters!
I love gardening sets and I love your card. You could try smaller splats by tapping the tube lightly over a pencil. That might look nice with the delicate look and size of the images, but both cards are amazing just as they are.
I loved the design of your card,the stamped planters looks so nice ,wonderful card !
I love this little scene that you created…and one layer! Great video too and the colours from those new brushes are perfect!
This is such a well-designed and beautifully colored card. What a great stamp set!
So very pretty May!! I love how small and delicate these are, they make a lovely “scene” 😀 TFS
Lovely card, you did a great job on the coloring! I liked both cards, with or without the splatters.
Very nice card. I love that this stamp set has a number of flowers and different pots.
Oh how lovely!
LOVE this stamp set! Both cards are so pretty and I do love splatters, but in this case I like the card without splatters the best! I’m sooo happy you are doing videos now on youtube and I’m enjoying watching your process and it’s nice to hear your voice too 🙂 Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great card! Love the stamp set
I LOVE THIS CARD! It totally sold me on the Garden Grow set!
I follow Altenew on Instagram and like on Facebook 🙂
This is so cute, May. I love watching the process.
Oh May what a beautiful card. Love it.
Your video is delightful and shows the masking process so well! I like the splatters.
Oh, how cute are these little plant pots?! so lovely! I would love to win, thank you for the chance =)
I know what you mean, I live other people’s cards with ink splatters, but it never looks right on mine. Beautiful cards!
I love all of your CAS cards and think your designs are always brilliant! Thanks for a chance to win too–awesome bonus! TFS and always inspiring! Hugs, Kristina
Love your garden scene, just beautiful!
Your garden is wonderful! Great card!
Pretty card! Looks like Altenew has another awesome release!!
cute card can’t go wrong with flowers
Love this card. I think both versions are keepers. Im not a fan of the zig pens. I also really like my distress markers, so I just dont think they are what i need right now. The splatter is fun! I really think its fun!
Wonderful card May. Love the coloring and the pretty scene. Great images.
I love your garden! & subscribed to your YouTube channel.
I follow Altenew on Fb and Instagram.
You do an amazing job coloring/shading with your first time using the Zigs. I can’t believe you can color such fine detail with a pen tip that’s actually a brush.
Oh my, May! This card design is gorgeous! My favorite is with the ink splatters! Love it! I appreciated watching your video so subscribed! Lovely release by Altenew!!!!
Both cards are darling! I actually like the one with the splatters a lot! 🙂
You make these new stamps SHINE! What a DELIGHTFUL card!! Love it, May!
Lovely card May! You did a fabulous job coloring it! I like the clean design better, but both are fabulous! Thanks for sharing and for the video!
have a wonderful day!
This card is beautiful. That stamp set is amazing! I also love the use of the brush pens!
If that was the first time you used the Clean Color pens, I’m really in trouble. Your coloring is perfect and I loved the video. The splatters looked great, don’t think there is a way to make them perfect. You just have to accept how they fall.
I love the Zig watercolor brushes. I can’t wait to try this card at home. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love these cards! I can’t wait to buy these brush markers!
These works have a wonderful artistic flare!
Your darling card used my favorite stamp set in this release!
luv both! I want to sit in that garden!!!
You make such amazing cards! Love your coloring! This is my favorite stamp set from the release!
What a beautiful little scene, love the colouring on the pots!
I think that you did a pretty good job using the Zip Clean Color Brush Pens for the first time. I’ve read all over that they’re more difficult to use effectively the first time. I can go either way with the splatters, take ’em or leave ’em. I do think that they give an artsy vibe.
Your little potted garden scene is very sweet, May. Lovely coloring for this. Terrific creation. 🙂
Great Job! Love the Scene that you created. I think I like the clean card without the splatters.
I’m a new fb fan of yours, May.
Cute card!!
May, your clean and simple cards are always beautiful!
Both fabulous cards, NEEEEEEEED this gardening set, it’s so sweet. X
Your card is Soooo Pretty!! Love the little scene you created!! Love your Youtube channel
Spat away girlfriend. Excellent card. 🙂
Wonderful card and great video. New sets of stamps are awesome! I love your designs, I will certainly enlarges its collection for next. Thank you for the chance to win.
hugs,
BozenA
Both cards are beautiful!!!
Love the details and design on your card.
Beautiful card , May!!
Beautiful cards May, but like you, I like the clean white!
Such a pretty scene you created, love it!!
I follow Altenew on facebook too!!
Loving this sweet scene, and I think the splatter looks great!
I follow Altenew on FB and IG.
Gorgeous! Even with the ink splatters 😜 Great video too – thanks for sharing!
A sweet, simple card! Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Both lovely, but I like the clean, crisp one. Thank you!
What lovely cards! I like both nd your colouring was great to watch!
Thanks for the video. I just bought the same markers and I’m still experimenting with them. Your scene turned out beautifully. I’m not a fan of spattering so I like the unspattered one.
WOW, you make that fabulous coloring look so easy. I love the scene you created!
Love the stamp set and really wanting to try some zig watercolor pens. They look so fun. Very nice coloring. I also like smaller less random spatters.
LOVE your cards..but like the one without the splatters the best..also the colors look different…
love this stamp set..well all from this release..
LOVE the splatters on this card!!! You have colored it to perfection and it is sure to brighten someone’s day!!! TFS!
Happy to subscribe to your You Tube channel. Love the look of the Garden Grow set.
Thanks
Ang
That looks like a fun stamp set to play with! Beautiful card!
Sweetly colored tiny pots..they make me SMILE!!
Your coloring looks fabulous!! I didn’t realize you could blend the ZIGs, and it’s great to watch how you did it in the video!! As an aside, I find your videos so delightful. 🙂 I am amazed at the little scene you’ve created–you are so good with designing scenes!! As I said on IG, I like the splatter, but I like it without, too….it’s whatever you like! 🙂
Beautiful card. I’m not a big fan of splatters myself — I always think they don’t look quite right on my own cards. But I do like how they look on other people’s cards. lol
Beautiful card. Lovely coloring!
Your coloring is just perfect! I too like the one without the splatters more, but they are both exceptional 🙂
What a great card! Love the images and the colors used!
Beautiful one layer card. If you use a toothbrush to dip into the paint and flick the edges of the brush with your fingers you get a lot more control and fine splatter as opposed to larger splatters.
Love all the tiny objects and details in this garden stamp set.
Love love love the scene you created. It’s just so sweet.
Beautiful card! And thanks for the great video!
Such a lovely scene! Great work!
May, both cards are beautiful. Its just in the eye of the beholder. thank you for them.
What a beautiful scene you created on your card!!! And your coloring is fabulous! I just recently bought some of those markers. Can’t wait to try them out!
This is BEAUTIFUL!
What a pretty card. Your coloring is very nice.
Beautiful card!! The stamped images are lovely!!
i love both cards
Both cards are great but I think if I had to choose, I would go with the clean one. The flowers and pots are more vibrant. Lovely job on both though.
Two beautiful cards! I’m not a ‘splatter-er’, so seeing yours without has me smiling brightly! Thank you for the video!
~c
Love your sweet garden and thanks for sharing a video with us!
I follow Altenew on Facebook and Instagram.
What a fantastic one layer card – I love the dimension you added with the colors and the “splatter”. Thanks for sharing the video of your creation process!
I like the splatter card the best. Altenew has the best release this month with the new floral stamps. L O V E.
May, you’re so fun! I love the card with the splatters!!!! I actually like both (all three!), as the clean one looks cleaner and nicer, but those splatters on the other card add some friendliness and freedom to it 😉 I’m also never happy with splatters getting on my cards (my inner perfectionist is never happy with those 😉 )
The best tip I have learned when working with sprays is first, learn your sprays, and then get your splatters out 😉 even if you aren’t happy other people will love it, cause I do love your cards 😉
Hugs, Tasha
What a lovely card! Thank you for a video! 🙂
very beautiful card!
What a beautifully colored and delightful card! Enjoyed your video so much and loved your design, with or without splatters!
Such a lovely scene you created and it looks so easy as I watch you. I like them both but I think I like the clean no splatter one best.
May, you’re cards always so beautiful. You are one of my stamping heroines!
growing pretty things makes me happy…
Both cards are so pretty, May! Thank you so much for the video!
Nice color job. I like the clean one too. Maybe use a more subtle color for the splatter next time, a pastel or pale color, a pale blue perhaps. But the clean one looks great on it’s own. Great job!
loving these cards. 😀
Such a fab card… your coloring is just gorgeous!
Fantastic card! I like both but probably like the one without splatters more. 🙂
I like the card without the splatters.
Both cards are fabulous! I slightly prefer the one without the ink splatters. I love the stamp set too and your video was brilliant. Your nails look so cool! xxx
I love the card you created with this lovely new Altenew stamp set!
Your coloring is beautiful, and I really am not comfortable with ink splatters either, I can’t ever seem to get them looking the way I want them to. 🙂
I love splatters but I find them hard to do right. Hearing that even you have a tough time with them is oddly encouraging!
I love this card and the splatters and the stamp set is so cute. Love your colouring withe the Zig markers
Thanks for the great demo May and I love the clean and simple look of the card made with these beautiful stamps, and I think I prefer the one without the ink spatters too. x
Love your beautiful garden card and video with the Zig markers! I subscribed to your You tube channel as well.
Great garden scene you created with or without the spatters.
I subscribe to your YouTube.
Beautifully designed card. Oh , your splashes are wonderful. Just the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards! I like both the one with the splatter and the one without! I would have never guessed that this was the first time you were trying the new markers. The coloring looks great!
I love the card you created with this lovely new Altenew stamp set)))
lovely new relase, love the lily flower it’s fab!
I think they are both beautiful Maybe gold splatters 🙂
Cute, cute, cute!!
Very nice card. It looks like it belonged in someone’s house. Very, very nice
So very pretty. I love all the plants arranged together. I think the splatters look fabulous.
Such a pretty card!!! Love the splatters.
Really great card design.
Wow!! This is stunning!! I love all the small details on this!!
Great cards. I’m not sure which I like better. I certainly don’t think the spatters have spoilt your card.
Such a pretty scene! I love this!
Beautiful canard!! This set stamp set looks awesome!
What a lovely single layer card with so much detail. Its so pretty. Thanks for the video too.
Very pretty card & enjoyed watching you color with the Zig markers. Great video!
May, I love your scene! I agree – the splatters so didn’t wreck the first version. Just something different.
I love the beautiful scene you created on your card, it reminds me of a well used greenhouse! I too have problems with my ink splatters, but yours seem to be just right – I’m not sure why you were disappointed, your card is lovely.
I am now a subscriber to your YouTube Video channel – I’m so excited. It looks like you have a lot of fun videos for me to watch, thanks!!!

What a lot of work you took by redoing the card. I really like the one with the splatters. Thanks for showing.
Just beautiful! I think you have the new markers coloring style down!
Wow, what a beautiful garden scene. Both cards are colored expertly!
Such a pretty stamp set and card!
So beautiful!! It’s a garden that I would love to sit in and relax!!!
Your card is like a breath of fresh air. I can almost smell the soft scents of the flowers. Truly lovely.
Lovely garden shed scene and I think you did great with your Zig markers….I’d love to have that set…saving the pennies!
Very sweet potted garden…reminds me of a quaint backyard.
I like Altenew on FB.
I just added your blog and YouTube videos to my favorites. Your shading with the color brush pens is just perfect!
Love your card, and your splatters are just fine. Thank you for sharing.
Really like this new gardening stamp set…looks like it could be a lot of fun to play with…I like the one without splatters too…LOL…
Lovely card! Love the dainty flowers and plants! So pretty!
I love the clean look best! But both are beautiful!

Great job! and I think I like the splattered one just fine! Your coloring was very instructive…thanks!
I enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing! I love both cards but I like the one without the splatters more. Great layout!
Love the splatters, love the card, love the set! Those pots look so good.
Sweet cards…wonderful release – my wish list is certainly growing!!!
What a lovely scene, the colouring us gorgeous!
Thank you for your master class ..
Love this card and all the little details and images you used!
Beautiful card!
Lovely I like all of them but I think the ink splatters are best. I have had similar ‘problems’ as you so a couple of tips are to 1. Use a small paint brush to flick 2. Put the medium you want to splatter on the edge of an acrylic block and flick it off the edge . The block prevents splatter going where you don’t want it. Julie Ebersole does this in a few of her videos.
So cute! I love all the little details in this scene ! j’ai aussi aimé la vidéo!
Beautiful card, May. And such stunning colouring. Splatters look interesting too, go nicely well with the feel of the card.
It’s the first I’m watching your video, May. Love your accent! I think the ink splatter suits the gardening scene. Both cards are gorgeous but I love the one with ink splatter more. Hehehe
Oh what an amazing card you’ve created here!!! I absolutely love one layered cards & know how hard they are to make! The little garden szene you’ve created is just so inviting & I particularly love the matching color of the envelope – stunning! Thanks so much for the inspiration! Yours, Steph

Lovely card May!
Love this new set!
Lovely card, perfert for my Mum.
Jackie
Both your cards are just fabulous ..i think the spattering does work on the second one 🙂 ..your coloring is so spot on !!
May…… Your English is so good!!! More good than mine 🙂 My hubby said the same thing also LOL and I always love your cards!!! This one is amazing!!
Loved the garden theme card, enjoyed your video. Just got the markers, now to get the stamps and get creating!
your card is so amazing!!! love it!
Your cards are both beautiful! Love the little scene you’ve created. I personally prefer the one without the splatters though.
I like both of your cards. Splatters are a little difficult for me, too. They never seem to go where I want them to be. I wasn’t sure about this set, but after watching your video I have changed my mind and really like all the possibilities.
I like the platters…already on your U tube channel 🙂
Beautiful card! The sentiment in the centre is gorgeous!
May – Loved your card(s)!! What a cute scene – I NEED that stamp set. 🙂
I liked both of your cards, with/without splatters, but I too struggle with splatters so I don’t use them often. For me, they need to be light, light, light so maybe try a lighter ink color as opposed to the dark grey or black that you tried on this card. Just a thought. 🙂
I love this card. You have me convinced to buy this set. I have not gotten a chance to play with altenew sTamps yet the price is a little much, but after looking at them more I have taken into consideration tHe amount of technique I caan use wiTh each seT. Plus they are filled with a lot of stamps in each set
Amazing what little scenes you can create with a stamp set – very beautiful. Splatters can be unpredictable but I really like what they add to your cards.
I love the Garden Grow set – becoming one of my favs.
I like both cards equally! 🙂
I follow Altenew on IG 🙂
Fabulous card – so much detail. What a fun release from Altenew. 🙂
Both cards are great, but I think I like the clean one too.
OH MAY!!! This is stunning and so sweet! I love the design and the adorable scene. Great card!! and I subscribe to your YT channel!!
This is so cute!
Hello May, what a lovely video and your coloring is marvelous – this is a beautiful card, and to be honest I cannot decide which I prefer!
Wonderful card, I like the garden scene.
This is a great set. I think your ink spots are fine.
Wow, what a great little scene you created!
I love all the detail in your pretty card!
I love both of the cards! Your coloring is fantastic and I like the added interest the splatters bring to the first card.
Wow!!! Absolutely beautiful cards!! And your coloring on the first card is ah-maz-ing!!!!
I meant your coloring on both cards not just the first one lol.
Great cards! Love the splatters!
Love your card, your music and your humor! I just ordered those brush markers! Can’t wait to try them out! I also had this stamp set in my cart, but took it out because I had no idea what to do with it. ahhhh!
What a fabulous scene card May! I think you did a fabulous job colouring with your zig color clean markers.
Love the card. The stamp set is absolutely gorgeous. I subscribed to you YouTube channel and can’t wait to see your future projects.
You are awesome. I like the card without the ink splatters myself. Keep up the good work.
I love your card is a beautiful scene!!!! lovely!
So pretty… and I subscribed to your channel!
I’m your biggest fan!!!
Such a pretty scene you created. Great coloring with those pens. I like both cards with and without
splashes. But if I had to pick one it would be without splashes.
Your card reminds me of being in a garden nursery. So nice.
I love the little scene. The coloring is great.
Wonderful card.
thanks for sharing.
What a fun set this is, May! It is full of possibilities! Thanks for showing us some of them!
I like them both, May, with or without the splatters they’re both beautiful! I find using a very fine paint brush to make splatters you can avoid the big splotches if that’s the look you’re going for. Just dip the brush in the paint and lightly tap off on your card 🙂
Love your card
What a pretty garden scene. I am not a fan of ink splatters though.
As much as I love ink splatters I really like the card that is clean. I think it’s because it really shows off your great coloring.
May, your card is so pretty! I love the garden scene and the ink splatters add a lovely touch.
I’m not so good with ink splatters either….my cards always look too cluttered or messy. So, I prefer the clean one. I wonder if a lighter color of splatter would have looked better? You’ve created an incredible scene with the garden stamps, May. I’m inspired. Thank you for your video.
I absolutely adore your card. The pots & bench placement is amazing!
Hi May! I really love all the detail you’ve put into ypur card, Altenew Garden goodies!
Beautiful card! I have a tendency to overdue my placement of my stamps. I am not happy unless they are straight! None of that crooked stuff for me and it ruins my cards every time because I overthink it.
Perfect!l♥
Such a beautiful card, May!
Wasn’t sure of this stamp set at first but now that I see it on a card I love it!
I love the scene you made with the stamps! The way you colored it looks great too 🙂
I love both cards but prefer the one without splatters.I thick the splatters detract from focal image. Thankyu for sharing.
Beautiful scenes, with and without the splatters!
I follow Altenew on Facebook as well as the blog. Ps. The previous comment should say Kathryn “A”
Fantastic job on both cards. I agree with you, I like the card without the splatters. Your coloring looks great for being out of your comfort zone. Thanks for the ideas and sharing.
I have the Zig brush pens and just need to use them. Thank you for sharing the technique. Your coloring is lovely.
I love this garden set, and both your beautiful splattered and clean cards!
BEAUTIFUL CARD! I AGREE WITH YOU, I LIKE THE CLEAN CARD. THANK YOU!
I too love the clean one. Fantastic card May! That stamp set is awesome!
No doubt about it. I need this stamp set. Your card is so sweet. Great job on the coloring!
Both cards are gorgeous!! I am also not good at the random splatter thing!
I think your card is lovely – my preference is without splatters, but even with splatters I like the card.
You made me want to purchase this set.
Wonderful tutorial, May! I can’t believe it’s your first time using Zigs–you’re a pro!
The card w/o splatters is more “you”, because I think of you as a CAS stamper. 😉
I like your card very much.
Your card is stunning! Such an inspiration….thank you 🙂
Great card and video
I really like BOTH of your cards………..and I LOVE your coloring!
Such a lovely card! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards, but I like the one without the splatters better. Thank you for the video, you do a great job at coloring!!! I love those pens!!!
I love gardening, so I love this set. Both cards are beautiful. The coloring is fantastic!
This is so pretty! Makes me want to go play in the garden! 🙂
What a pretty card! Thank you for the inspiration!
Gorgeous cards!
Beautiful cards. I loved them all. With and without splatters, but I think I would also have a hard time doing splatters. Afraid I’d cover up something I didn’t want to.. heh I’d probably have to mask off most of my card before doing something like that. ^_^
Oh these altenew designs are so different and they are made into such beautiful cards by the designers, very clever ladies x
Great stamps – wonderful card! Love that little scene you created!
i love the new Wild Hibiscus stamp
I love the gorgeous scenery card
Love you card and like you, think the one without splatters is nicer. I also have a hard time finding a splatter technique! Love all the little garden themed stamps.
I just love your card. Those stamps are the perfect little garden/flower set. I’m definitely in the minority here, but I kind of like the card with the splatters more. It reminds me of my messy gardening techniques. Dirt ends up everywhere.
You make it look so easy!
I think this is my favorite set. You made a beautiful card. Thank you
Beautiful card! I love the colors, thanks for sharing.
You did an amazing job with your coloring. I love your card1
I know you prefer with out splatters but I like with splatters. Good job coloring – I just got the Realbrush pens and have found them easy to learn to color with already.
Beautiful cards! Love the smiley clouds!!
I really love your card!! Your coloring is amazing!!
What a lovely scene you have created.
Fantastic cards – luv your card design and your coloring was awesome! I like either card with or without the splatters.
I love gardens and flowers – yours are beautiful!
Beautiful, loving the coloring!
Hi May! I actually love the ink splatter card just as much as without! They look beautiful!
May I subscribed to your you tube channel. Thanks for sharing the two adorable cards. I like the one without the black spritz better!
I love the scene you made and that there are so many more to make using this stamp set =)
Beautiful card. I enjoyed learning your style of coloring, Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful CAS card. I love your video too 🙂
Wow, great use of this set. Thanks for the video.
Hey there, love both cards, but if i had to pic one from the other, it would be the one with the splatter , i like the random way, and no cards will be the same 🙂 I have to se the video 2 times, i was not sure, but yes, you paint with the right hand, and cut with the left, it isnt often to se that a person can use both hands in that way, thumbs up ❤
I love both of the cards. Maybe I would have put blue spatters like the sky but I think they are both beautiful. I write with my left hand and cut with my right hand but then left-handers of my age were always picked on in school.
So lovely! I’m more CAS style paper crafter so your plain card is fantastic. However, I really like the version with the light splatters. Your coloring is always so pretty and you made this stamp set come alive. Thanks for sharing!!
Gorgeous card! Love those pots and your fabulous coloring! I am already a YouTube subscriber too!
Beautiful card, and I love this set. Lovely video too.
I’ve always wanted to watch how to use the new ZIG pen set so thank you for the video. Love the clean scene and detailed coloring that you did! Beautiful card!
Super card – a gardener’s dream!
I love how you set the scene!
Such depth and beautiful coloring.
Beautiful card. I like the splatters you added to the card.
May, these look lovely. I like the ink spots but also love the clean crisp look of the card without it. It’s a gorgeous stamp set. Great work.
I love both cards. Your coloring is just amazing! I’ve subscribed to your channel to see more. Altenew’s release is wonderful!!
I am loving the versatility of this set, I have seen a few cards made with it, and it can be used for sooooo many different occasions, which I love in a stamp set. I can’t believe this was your first time using the zig markers because your coloring is spot on. Thanks for the video, I am a YouTube geek and love to watch how cards are made, so I appreciated you taking the time to do the video as well!
Great one layer cards!
Love your card! I preferred the one without splatters.
Love the card and appreciate all the coloring!!!
your card is sooo beautiful!! I always love scenes on cards!!!
Your colouring is gorgeous!! Lovely card!
Lovely work of art!!!!
Paper Hugs,

A lovely balanced design and expertly shaded. Well done!
Gorgeous cards. Great scene using the garden grow stamps. I think this is my favourite from the release. Great colouring with your new pens. I actually like both cards – with and without the splatters.
Love your coloring and I do like the one without the splatters better because I like clean and simple best!
Beautiful!
The little garden scene is amazing!
Such a versatile stamp 🙂

Beautiful, May! I love your little scene with it’s lovely colouring and fabulous splatters. 🙂

The coloring on these cards are beautiful. I really like the shading of the pots. Both cards, with and without the ink splatter, are lovely. Thank you for the video!
Subscribed to your you tube channel! Your work is lovely! Looking forward to checking out more!
Really liked how you colored this card – the ink splats add a nice touch
I love them both, but the one on the right I like better because the pots have more highlighting or shading 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration, your work is wonderful, I’m a new fan 🙂
Both cards are beautiful; I like both the splatter look and the clean look. I love to watch you color! This is a cute set and will end up on my order, I’m sure. Now, if only I could color like you……..LOL!
Lovely card! Thanks for the inspiration.
Both cards are so pretty – and don’t be too hard on yourself! I think the splatters look great!
Such a FRESH feel to the placement of the flower pots! The splatters are the perfect addition:)

Your card looks like my little table in front of my window. Your coloring turned out beautiful! I think the ink makes it more artsy. They both look great. Just depends on what look your going for at the time.

Hello. This stamp set is perfect for creating different scenes on cards.I also love splatters of ink on my cards … I think you should have used small brush. It will give you tiny dots of ink which are more suitable for your delicate designs 🙂
Love it! Thanks for the inspiration and chance to win!
You’ve created a lovely scene with this stamp set. I can’t wait to get my hands on these new Altenew stamps!
Beautiful cards!

This looked like a pretty but daunting set to me but you make it look so easy to create a scene. I love both of your cards, but i think the one with the splatters is my favourite.
I subscribed. Look forward to following you. Nice card. I don’t like ink splatters, either.
Soo very pretty! I love the splatters!
Beautitul card! Like them both but the clean one a little more. Great video too!
You are really artistic. I learned a lot watching you techniques.
What a beautiful card! !!!! I just LOVE stamps that you can build a scene with!
Beautiful card – with the splatters. And they’re splatters, so they should be irregular!
Love everything you did on the card. I wish I had your talent!
Your garden scene is so sweet!
I feel peaceful when I look at it 🙂
I subscribed! Love the Fresh Fresia stamp! So pretty! Thanks and God bless! ILuvTheEucharist @ aol.com
Your card is delightful in every way. I love watching your finders glide over the paper. Thank you for sharing with us.
Congratulations! Your first sets are stunning as are the cards you’ve made with them!
May, what kind of cards took do you use with the Zig markers? I tried some white cards took and they wouldn’t blend but they do great with watercolor paper. I noticed here you used cards took and was wondering what type.
