Altenew Build-A-Flower: Morning Glory Release + GIVEAWAY



Hello everyone! Today I have two cards to share using the new Build-A-Flower Morning Glory stamp set from Altenew. 


Altenew have a special release of a Build-A-Flower Set every month and this month it’s the turn of the Morning Glory.

For my first card I stamped the flowers and the leaves with Morning Frost Altenew inks on a piece of white paper. 



Next, I colored the images with my Polychromos pencils, to make the flowers more realistic. 



When my coloring was done, I blended Frayed Leaf Altenew inks on my panel and stamped some branches and leaves with the same inks and added clear sequins to finished my card.





For my second card I blended Ocean Waves Altenew inks in the corners of white panel. 

For the flowers I used Frosty Pink, then Coral Berry and Ruby Red. I do not use other layers of the flower to make my flower soft look. I used Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades for the leaves. 


 I decide to add two branches from Forever And Always and Wings of Hope stamp sets on my card for more intersting look. I used Altenew Golden Peach Crisp embossing powder for gold heat embossed brunch and die cutting with ccordinating die. Next, I foam mounted the flowers on top of my panel and added clear sequins to finished my card.

  38. Such a beautiful set of cards. While I always love how the BaF sets look just as stamp layering, it's always interesting to see how you can adapt the stamps, and your ways are lovely. I really like the almost ombre effect you managed on the stamped flowers, and your colored pencil flowers are just gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing!
