Altenew Build-A-Flower Blog Hop + Giveaway + Video


Altenew Build-A-Flower:Camellia and Pattern Play: Circles | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hello everyone!
You must be here from the amazing Donna Mikasa's blog.
So excited today! It's one year since Altenew released their first Build-A-Flower set which was a Camellia. For my card today I thought it's only fitting that I use the first set.
I also have a video for you :)


Altenew Build-A-Flower:Camellia and Pattern Play: Circles | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I had this blue panel lying around which I coloured with distress stain. I stamped Pattern Play: Circles design with Altenew Clear Embossing Ink on this panel and then heat embossed it with Altenew Clear Embossing Powder.

Next, I stamped the Camellia flower in our newest inks Sweet Dreams Oval Set.

For the leaves I used, Coral Berry, Ruby Red and Grapevine.

What a bold and beautiful card!

TinyCrafter said...

I would never have done your background with that color flower but I like that you did it. That background is different and I see that you embossed it with circles. That's cool. I even like the splatters. I learned to do that in my art class in high school back in the 70's. Glad to see it's making a come back. I also love the sequins you used. You used just the right amount of them. The color of the flower is pretty too. I love the sentiment!
Thank you for showing us your pretty card and for giving us the chance to win something.
