 Hello All, 

Am SO excited and happy to be part of Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Sunburst Azalea Release Blog Hop .

I feel so honoured and humbled by this Awesome opportunity.

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

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!!

SO Stoked to join Altenew for this Blog Hop

You must have arrived from the Talented Jaycee Gasper‘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 two coloured variation cards using this Beautifully Detailed Floral Outline Stamp : Coral Sunset. 

To create this card, first I stamped the image using second generation stamping with the Altenew Limestone Crisp Dye ink. 

Colored the images using Graphite Lead pencils and smudged it with paper stump for the shadows. Used Yellow Colored pencil to color the floral centre. Main sentiment is stamped over the floral panel and White heat embossed sentiment strip is mounted onto the panel. This floral panel is then trimmed and foam mounted onto a black A2 sized cardbase and finished off with few clear dew droplets.

For my second card, stamped the floral outline using antique linen Distress ink and attempted the No line coloring technique over the image using Watercolor markers.

The colored panel is then fussy cut. The sentiment is stamped over a white A2 sized cardbase using Altenew Jet black crisp dye ink in such a way leaving space for the focal element.


Fussy cut floral spray then foam mounted and few clear dew droplets are added as accents. 

Hope you like my two colored version cards.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

~ Sathya ~ 69 Comments

Am SO excited and happy to be part of Altenew’s Build-A-Flower: Semi- Double Chrysanthemum Release Bloghop! 

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, Rachael Shedeed’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 today using Altenew Semi Double Chrysanthemum set.


Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum Product Description: 


Love and flowers don’t need to be perfect, but these gorgeous florals come very close to perfection!


This layering stamp set features a beautiful 4-layer chrysanthemum and three 3-layer leaves to add to your handmade cards, scrapbook layouts, bullet journal pages, and other DIY paper crafting projects. 


The Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum special edition stamp and die set is only sold as a bundle. It includes one 6″ x 8″ clear photopolymer stamp set (16 individual stamp images) and one coordinating die set (4 dies).

To create my card, I first stamped solid image of flowers followed by using second and third images, which are detailed layers. I used the Summer Afternoon mini ink cube set for the flowers. And then they were die cut using co-ordinating dies.


I did two such flowers and diecut using their co-ordinating dies and kept aside.

The green leaves are also from Semi-Double Chrysanthemum set, which were stamped onto white cardstock using Green Fields mini dye ink cube collections. They were also die cut using  co-ordinating dies.

The sentiment ‘Love’ is gold heat embossed on black cardstock and fussy cut it to give a defined look. The second part of sentiment is gold heat embossed onto a black cardstock strip. 

Finally for the background, took Altenew Classy strips stencil and embossing paste and created a partial stencilling to give a subtle texture to the card.

Then added Brusho – Lime green color pigment onto a watercolor cardstock, to create the organic styled background on the stenciled areas. Left to air dry and trimmed the focal panel.

Matted this focal panel onto A2 sized black Top fold cardbase using foam adhesives.. Then arranged the flowers and leaves to get a desired look. Popped the fussy cut sentiment and sentiment strip as shown above using foam adhesives.

Finally added some black enamel dots to finish off the card.

And now for the most exciting part : Giveaway!
