Hi, crafty friends. I’m sharing two cards today, featuring the Blooming Delight set from Altenew. This is a bundle with a stamp aet, a die set and a stencil set that all coordinate. I used the stamps and dies for these cards.

The floral stamp in the stamp set is big!!! I stamped it using Extreme Black ink from My Favorite Things onto X-Press It blending card and colored it with Copics, before using the coordinating die to cut it out. It’s too big to fit on a standard size card, so I decided to cut it apart and got two cards from it.

On the first card, I stamped the floral image again, this time on Powder cardstock from Concord & 9th. I used Fadeout ink from Inkon3 because I wanted a super soft look that didn’t compete with the focal image.

I popped up the flower on foam tape, added a layered sentiment I created using the coordinating die set and finished off with a few ombré glitter drops from Pinkfresh Studio.

On the second card, I used the Angled Mosaic embossing folder on a quarter sheet of Aqua Sky cardstock from Concord & 9th. I stamped and white heat embossed a Kort & Godt sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock, added my cut flower behind it and popped it all on foam tape for dimension.

I used a few black gems from Papirdesign to pick up the black from the sentiment strip.

I used a fairly limited amount of Copics, especially given how large this image originally is.
