Good morning everyone and welcome to my little stop on today’s Altenew Craft-A-Flower release. If you came here as a first stop, I highly recommend heading on over to the Altenew Blog to start from the beginning. I have all of the stops listed at the end of this post, along with giveaway details -there are over $200 worth of prizes!
Today’s Craft-A-Flower, which if you’re not familiar, is a monthly floral layering die set from Altenew (available on subscription), is the Morning Glory. I think this one might be my favorite CAF project I’ve created so far – I wanted to use unusual and darker colors, with metallic accents, and love how it turned out.
I die cut out most of the layers using white cardstock with the exception of the flower centres/top leaf layer and stamens which I cut from gold mirror cardstock. I inked up the white cardstock prior to die cutting using colors from the Martian Terrain range of inks.
I used the Altenew Glue Pen to adhere the layers together – it’s got a super fine tip so it’s really easy to use on tiny dies like these.
For my background I used the recently released Dotted Lines Debossing Cover Die on a panel of Jet Black cardstock. I then used Altenew’s Metallic watercolors to splatter different shades of gold and red paint onto the panel – it shows up beautifully against the black cardstock!
When dry, I mounted my Morning Glory florals and leaves using foam squares, and liquid glue. I popped up a small sentiment stamped in black down in the bottom right on foam tape and adhered the panel onto a white notecard.

I cannot even believe that card. How did you come up with those colors — and the idea to put on black and add all that gold. Morning Glories only WISH they ever looked that good.
Just purchased this die set and when looking for ideas, I came across your gorgeous card! Love all the colors and your design. Perfect!
