Good morning! I’m excited to introduce you to the newest Altenew Build-A-Flower set (and my current all-time personal favorite floral set from Altenew!): Peruvian Lily!!
A few nights ago I set up the corners of my MISTI with each layer and I just went to town creating flowers! I used a variety of inks from Altenew and Simon Says Stamp to stamp my flowers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies (I’ll include the inks I used in my supply list below!). Then it was just a matter of assembling my cards!
For my first card I started by stamping the sentiment down a grey cardstock panel using grey ink. At the bottom of my card I stamped it with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. I splattered the panel with white spray and let it dry overnight.
Finally I adhered the flowers with a mixture of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape. I trimmed off the excess that went over the edge of the panel and then finished the card with a few glossy white nuvo drops!
My second card uses the Gradient Stripes die to create a background. I die-cut it with dark grey cardstock and adhered it to a black card base. Then I stamped the sentiment onto one of the grey stripes and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.
I adhered the flowers to the panel and then finished the card with a few glossy nuvo drops.
My third card takes the focus off the flowers but still allows them to shine! I started by spraying a white card base with jet black spray. I let it dry and then adhered the flowers over it.
I die-cut the sentiment from dark grey cardstock and adhered it to the card with foam mounting tape. Then I finished the card with a few glossy black nuvo drops!
My final card is similar to the third though it’s missing leaves because I ran out of my stash! 😉 I started by spraying white spray onto a black card base. I let it dry and then adhered my flowers over the panel.
This time I die-cut the sentiment three times and adhered them together to create a thicker sentiment. I adhered it over the flowers and applied a layer of spectrum noir clear sparkle to the entire sentiment. I finished the card with a few glossy white nuvo drops! I have a few flowers left and I’m sure I’ll find more ways to use them…this set is just amazing!
The Altenew Build-A-Flower: Peruvian Lily set includes 1 6×8 stamp set (13 layering images and 1 sentiment) and 1 coordinating die set (2 dies). The Altenew Build-A-Flower: Peruvian Lily is only sold as a set, not individually.

Love these colors!
I love the variety of cards using the same image! Alstroemerias are one of my favourite flowers and I like that you hastagged with their botanical name (yep, I’m a former florist who enjoyed Latin). 🙂
Gorgeous! I love all your cards, they are so very pretty and that stamp set is amazing!
Jess these are so gorgeous and I love the gray with the beautiful pink flowers! Such a stunning job and definitely a stamp I need to get!
These are all gorgeous but my fav is with the Gradient Stripes die! I really struggle with floral arrangements… both in real life and on cards, but you are the master. I will totally be casing these with a variety of floral stamps 🙂
The cards are stunning!
Stunning, Love the color choices!
Another really beautiful flower! The detail is amazing and the cards are all so pretty😍
Love this set. So sad it is sold out😯
Your cards are simply amazing! Gorgeous colours too
Beautiful cards! I love all the details that the layers give.
very striking cards – the black backgrounds really bring out the beauty of these flowers:)
I absolutely LOVE that black card. That is fabulous!
Wow! I love the grey and black gradient background. That background with the bright flowers is so bold and striking! These stamps are just gorgeous and you made such awesome cards with them!
Love your cards.
I LOVE this, and it is my FAVORITE FLOWER!
All of the cards are beautiful but when I got down to the last card with the black background…. that’s when I was swooning LOL. I love the colors you used for the flowers on all of them but against the black background they really pop, I can’t wait to try one like it 🙂
Beautiful color combos and fantastic layouts! Great inspiration!
Just gorgeous Jess!!!
Your cards are so beautiful! I think the Peruvian lily is gorgeous and probably my favorite they have come out with!

WOW, I’m inspired by what you did with this new Altenew lily die. Just beautiful 3 D effect!
Beautiful cards! Thank you for the inspiration!
These cards over dark background gives them an amazing effect. Love them all. Looks like These flowers shines in the middle of the night.
Beautiful!
