Hello there! We’re celebrating the release of the new Altenew Build-A-Flower: Laelia Release! If you arrived from Amanda Baldwin‘s blog, you’re right on track. If you want to hop along from the beginning, visit the Altenew Card Blog. Check the bottom of this post for giveaway information and the full blog hop list.

I love this month’s bloom for its loose and flowy petals, and the overall size of the blooms which fill a card front nicely!

I started by stamping the outline layer of the blooms and leafy stems in Permanent Black ink onto Neenah Solar White 80# Classic Crest cardstock. Next, I stamped the layers of the blooms in Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Heart Beat, and Vineyard Berry (also available as a bundle). I didn’t stamp the small centers of the flowers because I like the extra white space.

Then, I stamped the leafy stems in Misty Moor, Marshland, and Sea Forest (also available as part of a bundle) and then used the coordinating dies to cut out all of the images. I also used the silhouette stamps in the set to stamp extra leaves in Misty Moor and cut those out as well.

For the background, I used Post-it Tape to mask of the borders of an A2-sized piece of white cardstock. To create a rough and organic edge, I tore along the edge of the tape. Then, using a large blending tool, I blended a bit of Morning Frost ink over the unmasked area.

I assembled the card by adhering the blooms and leaves using a combination of glue, glue dots, and foam tape to give varying dimension, and then trimmed off anything having over the borders of the panel. To finish, I stamped the sentiment in black pigment ink and then adhered the card front to a card base.
