Made a floral card using this new, Layering Die Set Sunburst Azalea .

Over to my card,

Kept the card super simple. Firstly die cut the floral layers from lighter shade to darker shade of cardstocks and arranged as shown using liquid adhesive.
Diecut the leaves from a lighter green shade cardstock and ink blended it slightly to get an ombre shade.
Then generously splashed white acrylic paint on the florals and leaves and kept for air drying / sped up with heat tool.

Took a gray panel little shorter than A2 size and foam mounted the floral and leaves as shown.
Tied black beaded ivory shaded twine around the panel and foam mounted this on A2 sized ivory cardbase.
Sentiment is stamped using Altenew Jet black ink from BAF – Giant Bellflower stamp set and die cut it using Featured sentiment die set.
Then the banner is foam mounted onto the twine. Few clear dew drops are added as accents.

And now for the exciting part!! Giveaway!!

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Giant Bellflower Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

March 1, 2022 ~ Sathya ~ 45 Comments

Am SO excited and happy to be part of Altenew Build-A-Flower: Giant Bellflower Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Am a sucker for flowers and Absolutely love Altenew’s varied range of products right from their brand launch. I feel so honoured and humbled by this Awesome opportunity.

You should have arrived from talented, Arjita Singh’s blog. Else if you are starting from here, I have a full blog hop list at the end of my post.

I have created a card using Giant Bellflower set.

Build-A-Flower: Giant Bellflower Product Description:

Let your imagination soar with stunning florals and heartfelt greetings in this unique layering stamp and die set. The florals in this set feature an artistic take on giant bellflowers, showcasing beautiful open petals on a cluster of three flowers. Want to experiment with color? We have added separate coloring layers for each individual flower so you can get creative with colors for your paper crafting projects.

To create my card, I stamped Giant Bellflower onto a white cardstock using a light ink and attempted no line coloring. Die cut with the co ordinating die set after coloring.

Took a white cardstock and embossed it with Diamond stars 3D Embossing folder . Rounded the embossed panel on all corners and matted over an Olive A2 sized top fold card base using foam adhesives.

Onto that panel, the diecut flower is added using foam adhesive. The sentiment from same stamp set is stamped using Altenew Jet black cube ink and diecut using Featured Sentiments Die set. This sentiment banner too topped with foam adhesives.

And now for the exciting part!! Giveaway!!
