HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s 2022, can you believe it!? It’s a new year, and also a new Altenew Build-A-Flower releaser – two reasons to celebrate! Today’s new flower is the Candystripe Cosmos – you should have landed here on today’s blog hop from the Altenew Card Blog! All the details of today’s ***Giveaway***, as well as the full hop list can be found at the end of this post.
My card today is super simple. I wanted a deep, dark floral, against a pale background. I incorporated some of the new ink colors recently released by Altenew too. I first stamped my flower – it layers really easily for anyone still new to layering stamps.
For the petals, I used Rose Quartz for the lightest color, Plum for the middle, and Rhodolite for the darkest. The outline was stamped in Obsidian Pigment ink. I used Buttercream and Caramel Toffee for the flower centre. For the leaves I used Pistachio, Forest Glades and Evergreen. I then die cut out the image.
For the background, I stamped the solid leaf cluster several times in Pistachio, leaving the upper right hand side blank. I then adhered the flower with foam tape, and added a few splatters with Forest Glades Metallic Shimmer Spray. The sentiment from the set was stamped in Obsidian Pigment ink, and I finished with a few iridescent glitter enamel dots from my stash.
