Good morning! I’m thrilled to be joining the amazing Altenew design team to celebrate their fabulous July 2018 release! They have a GORGEOUS selection of stamps and dies in this month’s release! I went a little overboard with rainbow florals! 😉
I fell head over heels for the Life is Awesome florals and used my MISTI to crank out a ton of layered flowers using the beautiful shades of Altenew inks!
Then it was just a matter of creating some beautiful floral arrangements!
For the first card I choose a center spot slightly above and to the left of the actual center of my card base and started adhering flowers in a circle. I added more layers and let my arrangement get bigger and bigger until it basically filled the card panel.
Then I die-cut the Simply Said Thank You die three times with black cardstock, adhered them together and adhered them over the florals. I finished the card with a few amethyst jewels.
For my second card I die-cut the Watercolor Stripes die from white cardstock and adhered it to a white card base. Then I added florals across the bottom of the panel to create a loose, organic arrangement.
Next I die-cut the Simply Said Hello die with black cardstock three times, adhered them together and adhered it over the florals. I finished this card with a few purple pansy jewels!
I love all these bright and cheerful flowers with the bold sentiments and I hope you do, too! 😉

Cranked out indeed!! What a bevy of beauties… love this set so much. This release is so wonderful, how can one decide??? Your coloring is so great and each card is stunning. Glad you highlighted this set. Nicely done.
These flowers would make some pretty note cards to put together as a set to give someone as a gift.
Really Pretty.
Your rainbow floral cards are stunning!
This awesome new cards made me put these stamp set on the top of my wish list . Love them so much
Both of these cards are stunning. I love the vibrant colors and the layouts. This is a wonderful release.
Absolutely FABULOUS card!
Gorgeous! Love Altenew and how they do layering stamps. Their ink is great too.
what a fun way to create such gorgeous cards, Jess – especially love the card using the watercolor cover plate for the background!!
WOW Jessica ! You did make tons of stunning flowers in all those gorgeous bright rainbow colour mixes. Adore the organic look to both cards & the wonderful white on white with the second card. Many thanks for sharing.x
Wow, the effort that went into your cards is truly inspirational.
Love these cards so much.
Great new products from Altenew. Who doesn’t like florals and the dies are exceptional.
cheers

All those delicious flowers—you were VERY busy! Love the coloring, and all the layers on both cards. The watercolor die is an awesome backdrop for the second floral spray! Thanks for your inspiration!
Love, love, love all those gorgeous flowers.
The Life is Awesome set is my favorite and you did an outstanding job of creating some beautiful cards. I love color and that’s what you presented. Fantastic!!
Loving those bright and happy florals, especially that big bunch on the first card!
Love how you did your flower arrangement with the die cuts. I always thought flowers had to be in water.
I was about to say, “Oh, there’s no such thing as ‘overboard’ when it comes to flowers.” But then I scrolled down and saw your pile o’ stamped flowers. You were seriously busy!!! But they look awesome!
Awesome projects! Great product release! I especially love the card that is almost covered with the lovely watercolor looking flowers!
Beautiful cards. Love the bright colors and the “circular” arrangement of the first one. It’s pretty amazing, actually!!! Thank you.
I am in love with all of those gorgeous flowers! I need to do this–just stamp up a bunch and have them available for future projects. The cards you have created are so pretty1
Wow–so pretty with the rainbow of colors.
What a wonderful card . The lucky persons who will receive it
The flowers from the Life is Awesome set are AWESOME! Just an explosion of HAPPY on your blog today! 🙂 I love the cards you created with the flowers – the black sentiment dies just really make the colors pop! A bit jealous of the recipients of your beautiful cards. I guess I’m going to have to make some myself! LOL What a great post – thanks for participating in the blog hop today!
I liked this set before I saw your cards, now I am IN LOVE. They are absolutely gorgeous! Reminds me of bright water colors.
I love your floral arrangements! So bright and beautiful!
