Altenew Build-A-Flower: Lavender Release Blog Hop + Giveaway +Video

Hello Build-A-Flower fans!!
There's a BEAUTIFUL new release in the Build-A-Flower collection at Altenew! Just look at the Build-A-Flower: Lavender. It's one of my favorites, which calls for using ALLLLL the shades of Purple inks with a kiss of Blues.
I'm so happy to have been able to create with this stamp and die bundle, and honored to be on the Blog Hop list celebrating it's release. Thank you Altenew for sending it to me:))

This is a multi layer set that includes several different sentiments in a pretty handwritten font.
*********************************************************

Take a closer look at my samples for today:
First up, I simply stamped all the layers of the Build-A-Flower: Lavender onto white card stock...then masked it using the coordinating die and stamped the solid layers of the blooms and stem to create the illusion of a bundle.  a tiny bit of fussy cutting around one edge allows more of that pattern paper to peek out for more interest.
THANKS a BUNCH...Featuring:
Build-A-Flower: Lavender
Enchanted Garden Crisp inks
Green Fields Crisp inks
Enchanted Gold pigment ink
Reflection Paper 6x6 Paper Pack
Enamel Dots

Watch my video of this cardmaking session from start to finish:)) You can watch below or on my YouTube channel.


******************************************************

Next, I stamped a background and added some blues from the Lapis Lazuli collection on the flower heads of the Lavender. 
 Thinking of you....Featuring:
Build-A-Flower: Lavender
Shades of Purple Crisp inks
Enchanted Garden Crisp inks
Green Fields Crisp inks
Lapis Lazuli Crisp Inks
String Art Rectangles Die Set
Reflection Paper 6x6 Paper Pack
Enamel Dots
 A quick whip stitching around the edges of the panel using the largest of the String Art Rectangles Die Set adds a touch of texture.
******************************************************

Lavender is known for it's calming fragrance and medicinal qualities. Repeat stamping a sentiment background for this hanging bunch was relaxing as well.
LOVE YA....Featuring:
Build-A-Flower: Lavender
Shades of Purple Crisp inks
Enchanted Garden Crisp inks
Green Fields Crisp inks
Lapis Lazuli Crisp Inks
Create-A-Wreath Die Set ...for extra greenery
Enchanted Gold pigment ink
Golden Edge Washi Tape
Enamel Dots
Pattern paper from my stash

******************************************************
For my final card, I inked third layer of the blooms with Wisteria ink, then the most detailed layer of the BAF: Lavender with Enchanted Gold pigment ink for a dramatic, almost white flower.
 After die-cutting a circle from the background panel..I bent the sentiment to hug the edges and repeat stamped for a subtle sunny effect. Then I softly inked around the circle with a blending brush and Lavender Fields fading out to a stenciled bottom half. Dragging the Enchanted Gold pigment ink pad down from the top created a unique finish.
SENDING HUGS...Featuring:
Build-A-Flower: Lavender
Shades of Purple Crisp inks
Enchanted Garden Crisp inks

Enchanted Gold pigment ink
Graph Die Cut Tape...as a stencil

Very pretty lavender images, the tiny inflorescence look so delicate, almost real.The sentiments are perfect on that casual font. All your cards are fantastic, my favorite is the " Thinking of you " design. Thank you for the inspiration!

SD pooja said...

Your cards are beautiful and I like how you use the stamps in different ways on your card like the one on which you have stamped the lavenders horizontally ! Creates very interesting pattern not to forget fresh colors.

Gorgeous! I didn't read carefully and at first I thought I was looking a lilacs---thinking they are very similar!
