Good morning! Altenew has a brand new build-a-flower and we are hopping today to share it with you.
This gorgeous new stamp set has 2 blooms that are so easy to create. Each bloom has 3 steps to the bloom and then a couple small details for each complete flower. Super easy!!
My first card showcases a way to use the outline of the bloom to create a fun, clean and simple background....
Randomly stamping the flower in black ink definitely created bold background. To finish this card off, I die cut the hello die in black fun foam and then layered it with an ink blended hello die cut. I added a little frosty edge to the bottom for a little shine.
I love how the black fun foam gives dimension but also ties the black details of the card together.
I made another easy background but randomly stamping the blooms...
I heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and then added some sliver thread for a little extra detail.
Here is the stamping guide for the Poppy. Super easy!
