Hi friends! Today I’m excited to be part of the Crafty Spotlight Hop on Instagram! This hop was created to shine a light on one amazing crafty company each month as a way to say a big THANK YOU for their creativity, dedication, and impact on our crafty community.
This month, we’re starting with none other than Altenew which couldn’t be more perfect as they’re celebrating 11 incredible years in the industry!
My card features the gorgeous Craft-A-Flower: Garden Rose Layering Die Set from Altenew - such a fun set to create with!
I started with a panel of watercolor cardstock and used the ink smooshing technique to create a soft, organic background. I dabbed ink onto my glass mat, spritzed it with water, and pressed my cardstock into the puddle to let the colors naturally blend. I heat-set each layer and repeated the process until I achieved a dreamy, layered wash of color.
Next, I pulled out the Craft-A-Flower: Garden Rose Layering Die Set and die cut the pieces from shades of purple, pink, and green cardstock. For a touch of elegance, I used Brushed Gold Metallic Cardstock for the center of one flower. Thanks to Altenew’s clever keyhole system, assembling the blooms was quick and easy—I used liquid adhesive to layer the pieces, then added foam tape to pop them up for extra dimension.
To finish, I added black ink splatters, stamped the sentiment, and adhered it with foam tape for even more depth. Everything was mounted onto a crisp white card base to keep the focus on the florals.
Thank you for visiting—see you again soon for more crafty fun!
