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.

Full Bloom : Altenew Statement Flowers

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

 Hiya Crafters,

Past 2 months were too busy churning cards for my blog and its just continuing this month too but with a change. Making cards but scheduling for later dates. Yeah, busy making Guest designing projects and so personal projects taking back seat at the moment. Yet squeezed some time today and whipped a card using my new products in my stash – Altenew Woodless Watercolor pencils.

Over to my card,

Colors are inspired from current Altenew Feb challenge

  • Stamped the Altenew Statement flowers stamp set floral onto Canson Montval Watercolor paper in DI Antique Linen for attempting no line coloring.
  • Then colored using Altenew Woodless Watercolor pencils.
  • They are so easy to work with.
  • Then fussy cut and splashed generously with White Calligraphy ink for added interest
  • Took a diecut watercolor panel and with green woodless pencils, made few scribblings  and wet those areas with water liberally to create an organic bg.
  • Air dried and then splashed with left over paints to finish off the bg.
  • Once dried totally, stamped sentiment from Altenew Dahlia blossoms in green ink cube.
  • Foam mounted the panel onto Olive green A2 card base and Fussy cut bloom is foam mounted with few clear dew droplets as accents.
Hope you like it!
