Keep reading for my card details:

First I cut some 80# white cardstock to 4" x 5-¼". Then I followed the included stamp layering guide and stamped the Build-A-Flower: Belladonna Lily with shades of purple from the Enchanted Garden and Green Valley ink cube sets. I added some black and yellow splatters and set the panel aside to dry.

Next I stamped the image again, this time using the ink cubes in the Pocketful of Sunshine set. I used the coordinating die to cut the image out.

I adhered the purple floral piece to some black cardstock and then to an A2 card base. I added foam tape to the back of the die cut flowers to pop it up on my card.

I die cut the Handwritten Hello die shadow layer from black cardstock, and the script portion, twice, from white cardstock. I adhered all the layers together with glue and adhered to the card. I stamped the "a happy" (from the CAF: African Daisy set) with clear embossing ink, added white embossing powder and heat set. After I trimmed the sentiment, I popped it up with a bit of foam tape.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Fashion Monger Dahlia Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

I'm thrilled to be part of the Altenew Build-A-Flower Fashion Monger blog hop! This is an absolute gorgeous layering stamp set!

You should have arrived here from the blog of Verity Biddlecombe. I you need to start over, head on over to the Altenew Card Blog.

This beautiful layering stamp set is available as a Layering Stamp & Die Set; a Layering Stamp & Die set + Ink Bundle (5% off); or join the Monthly Subscription Plan (14% off)!

I had so much fun watercoloring the gorgeous Fashion Monger Dahlia flowers!

I began by creating my card base. I embossed some white card stock with the Buffalo Plaid 3D embossing folder and trimmed the piece to 3-¾" x 5". Then I used the Altenew Ink Blending Tool to add some Baby Pink Crisp Dye ink to the embossed panel. Next I squished the Magenta ink pad onto my craft mat and used a wet paint brush to add splatters. When it was dry, I glued this to a pink card stock layer and added it to a top-folding A2 card base.

Next I used the handy, included layering guide to stamp my flowers and leaves. I used various inks from these Crisp Dye ink sets: Spring Bouquet (for the pink); Cool Summer Night; Green Valley; and Shade of Purple. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I adhered the leaves and flowers using liquid glue and foam tape. To finish up, I stamped the sentiment in Jet Black ink and fussy cut it out. I popped it up with a bit of foam tape.

Thank you for stopping by! Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win, and then head over to the next stop to the blog of awesome Sandhya Iyer!
