Altenew – A Pretty Pink Peony

Hello friends!

I’m back again today with another project using gorgeous Altenew products.

My card features the beautiful clear stamp set called Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums.

I had a hard time choosing a color for these beauties! I always seem to reach for the pinks…oops!!

I stamped these beautiful flowers on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencils.

I used the pretty border die called Creative Edges: Scalloped Scallops Die Set as the base for the bottom band. I added a layer of gold card stock as the second layer, carefully measuring just above the detail from the scallop side to where I wanted it from the top edge. For the top layer I used a slightly smaller piece of white cardstock scored in the middle, and then every 3/8″ in both directions.

A few tiny white pearls from my stash were added to the scallop detail. Lastly, I added a few gorgeous Altenew’s Satin Gold Sequins to my card. The sparkle is the perfect final touch.

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Hello and welcome!

I am back today after a little break away from crafting. I have been working on setting up some more crafty space to work in. Hoping it will be done soon.

Imagine how excited I was when Altenew asked if I would be interested in working on a collaborated post with them. I have always loved their beautiful products, so of course I said yes…how exciting!!!

For today’s project I focused on these gorgeous flowers from the Craft-A-Flower: Cistus Layering Die Set. The extra greenery is from the die set called Leaf Mix Die Set.

All the flower and leaf pieces were die cut from watercolor paper and then colored with Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set. Once these pieces were dry, I added some accents with gold craft paint.

I knew I wanted the flowers to be dimensional so I only glued them in the center portion. This would allow me to bend and curl the layers of petals.

I stamped the stripe background with the stamp set called Pinstripe Stamp Set. The eye catching shape I used for the sentiment base is from the Labels & Tags 2 Die Set. This piece was ink splattered with the same watercolor paints and gold craft paint that I used above.

The sentiment is from the Bold Bouquet Stamp Set. I also used the matching Bold Bouquet Die Set.
