Hello everyone!
I'm excited share with you projects featuring the new Build-A-Flower: Anemone Coronaria. Altenew is having a Bloghop this month sharing inspiration from several Design Team members and guest artists. If you are hopping from the beginning, you should be arriving from the crazy talented Erum Tasneem!
(I do have a full hop roster at the end of this post)
For my first card I used the middle layer for the blooms of the Build-A-Flower: Anemone Coronaria and the outline layer for the leaves. Then, I grabbed the coordinating dies in the set to cut the images out and arranged them on a softly inked background. Shades of Purple and my favorite, Cosmic Berry Crisp Inks and Artist Markers provide the color on this simple yet elegant card.
Trying out a "Dotty style" of coloring with the Artist Markers shared by Alex Syberia...and Kathy Racoosin:)
Do you think I should have stopped at one layer, or do you like the dimension? I like the dimension. Let me know your opinion in the comment section.
AND just because, I'm hooked on modern embroidery as well as Stamping, I DO have a bonus stitching project :)
The outline layers of Anemone Coronaria, along with the Halftone Smile, inked up BEAUTIFULLY on 100% cotton fabric using Evening Grey Crisp Ink, . The coordinating dies created quick Masks on sticky notes to form a sweet cluster of Anemones and leaves. Next I added the second layer images on the blooms; inked with Warm Sunshine.Then added a bit of coloring detail with Artist Markers.
I thought the project looked very pretty in it's 6" hoop!
However, because of my new addiction to stitching,, I finished with some modern embroidery to create MORE dimension on this #hoopart.
Hope you've enjoyed my cards and HoopArt today. Your next stop on the hop is Reiko Tsuchida.
Please leave a comment telling me your favorite project:) and don't forget to leave comments on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog for a chance to win!

Going for a one layer Collage style card for my next project, which ended up looking quite different than the first. Using all the the image layers in the Build-A-Flower: Anemone Coronaria, I spent a most LOVELY time creating in the craft room!
Crisp Inks used:Pure Granite, Just Green, Sweet Leaf, Minty Mint, Cosmic Berry, Vineyard Berry, Heart Beat, Coral Bliss.
Additional Supplies: Pinstripe Stamp set and Crystal Clear Embossing Powder
And I actually filmed a process video!
You can watch the video here in HD or on my YouTube channel.
*********************
After I turned the camera off, I continued playing by using the coordinating dies on several more stamped leaves and additional blooms then added them to the cardfront for greater dimension,..
The finished card is below:

I thought the project looked very pretty in it's 6" hoop!
- SOOO many French Knots for the Anemone Coronaria centers
- Stem Stitch for the veins of the leaves
- BackStitch as a partial fill on the SMILE
Hope you've enjoyed my cards and HoopArt today. Your next stop on the hop is Reiko Tsuchida.
