HA + Altenew Bloom and Grow Blog Hop...



Hi Friends!  Today we are hopping along with an awesome group of people from Hero Arts and Altenew to share an awesome collaboration stamp set called Bloom and Grow.  Check it out....


This stamp is absolutely beautiful with that big bloom and the fonts?  I can't even.  I am a fan of a good font and this is one of them.  I have a super easy card today putting emphasis on the background but highlighting that big beautiful bloom!

Hero Arts and Altenew

First I stamped the bloom on an adhesive label to create a mask.  I fussy cut around the bloom.  I stamped the big bloom on the card front and then covered it with the mask.  I attached the Classy Stripes Stencil from Altenew on the top of the card and then blended in some pink stripes with blending brushes.

I splattered some white pain down and then peeled the mask off the card front.  I chose one of those beautiful sentiments and then stamped it along the bottom of the card.  To finish off the card, I added in some clear drops around the front of the card.
