Altenew Build-A-Flower: Peruvian Lily Release (+GIVEAWAY!)

1 Jul

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.

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week!!

    Every card is awesome!, but if I were hung over a pool of hungry sharks and had to choose one favorite or die, the Thanks card is my favorite. Lol!
