Altenew Build-A-Flower: Tree Peony Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 Hello crafty friends!  I'm thrilled to be joining in Altenew's blog hop to celebrate the release of the gorgeous Build-A-Flower: Tree Peony!

You should have arrived here from Keren's blog.  If you need to start at the beginning, head over to the Altenew Card Blog!

The beautiful Build-A-Flower: Tree Peony is available now, in the Altenew shop!  There are three ways to add this gorgeous set to your stash:  as a stamp & die bundle, or save 5% with a stamp, die & ink bundle, or finally, save 14% and never miss out on a Build-A-Flower by joining the subscription plan.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now onto my card!  I used all of the gorgeous layers for the flowers and leaves and added them to an embossed background.  Read on for the details!

First I stamped the beautiful layers of the Tree Peony flower and leaves.  I used inks from the Red Sunset ink cube set for the flower.  For the leaves I used Green Fields ink cube set.  Then I cut them out with the Tree Peony coordinating dies.  The flower centers are inks from the Golden Sunset ink cube set.

Next I created a dimensional background for the gorgeous florals!  I used coordinating card stock from my stash and embossed it with the amazing Beautiful Baroque 3D embossing folder.  Next I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼".  To add some shimmery fun to the embossed piece, I gently swiped the Enchanting Gold Pigment ink pad over the raised areas.  (I wish I could capture the beautiful shimmer in my photos!)  Then I added some metallic gold and white spatters.  When the spatters were dry, I adhered the panel to a top-folding A2 card base.

I used one of the sentiments included in the set and stamped it in black ink.  Then I trimmed it into a banner shape.  I added foam tape to the back of the flower, one leaf, and the sentiment and adhered them to the card front.

I honestly do not know how Altenew continues to create so many beautiful floral sets!  I love this Build-A-Flower: Tree Peony set and it will be in my favorites for sure!  Be sure to leave a comment to qualify for a chance to win!

  3. It is surprising to me the difference one color can make. Earlier in the hop; Laurie W used the red sunset inks for her peonies and they look much more orange. You used the same ink set and your flowers are red. I am guessing you used the crimson and she probably used the velvet. I like the side by side comparisons of these hops.

  22. WOW! That was my actual exclamation when I saw your card! Love, love, love the choice of using the darker coordinating cardstock, the Beautiful Baroque 3D embossing folder for texture, and added swipe of gold ink to highlight it along with the gold & white splatters. That background makes the die-cut blooms really stand out. Gorgeous!
