Altenew Ethereal Blooms | Ambassador Card

Today I’m sharing a clean and elegant floral card created as an Altenew Ambassador project, featuring the beautiful Ethereal Blooms Stamp & Die Bundle. This layered floral set is perfect for creating depth and dimension with ink alone, and I love how soft and feminine this card turned out.

I began by stamping the florals using four shades from the Cherry Blossom Fresh Dye Ink set. Since this is a layered stamp set, the multiple pink tones work together to add beautiful depth while keeping the blooms soft and cohesive. For the leaves, I used Green Valley Fresh Dye Ink, stamping the first layer in Grass Field and the second layer in Shadow Creek for natural contrast and shading.

For the background, I wanted to add subtle interest without overwhelming the florals. I used the Altenew Plaid Stencil and softly applied Grass Field ink onto white cardstock. This creates gentle texture while maintaining a clean look. I also left a narrow white border along the left edge of the panel to help frame the design and balance the green tones.

Once the background was complete, I arranged the florals in a vertical flow—placing one bloom near the top, one just below center, and a smaller bloom toward the bottom. Some of the florals overlap the stenciled area while others rest on the white space, which adds visual movement and keeps the layout feeling light and balanced.

For the sentiment, I used the “hello” word die from the Versatile Greetings. I cut the shadow from soft gray cardstock and the word itself from white cardstock, adding subtle dimension while keeping the overall design soft and airy. The finished panel was mounted onto a soft gray mat and adhered to an A2 card base for a polished, finished look.

This card showcases how layered stamps, soft ink colors, and simple background techniques can come together to create an elegant and timeless design. The Ethereal Blooms Stamp & Die Bundle is incredibly versatile, making it easy to create clean and modern cards for a variety of occasions.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires you to explore layered stamping and subtle stenciling in your own cardmaking projects.
