Bold Blossom.... Many Ways


Hi there everyone and happy Thursday!

I'm loving the Altenew 'Bold Blossom' so much that I'm sharing two projects using it today. One of which
is a scrapbook page that shows lots of ways that this floral image can be used...


So as you can see I really made the stamp set work! I stamped the flower and leaves onto some polka-dot patterned paper to create an interesting background square for my photo. I also stamped the images onto some card and heat embossed the outline in gold before fussy cutting them out to use as embellishments.....and then I stamped just the outline images all over a piece of vellum and heat embossed in white too add softness to the page.


I just love the many different ways you can use this set and every way gives you a different look!

For the sentiment I added one using the Altenew 'Super Script' stamp set, there are so many huge sentiments in this set, all of which can be used on cards too!


I then created a card that can be whipped up quickly and easily...


I just love how classy this card looks! I stamped the blossom three times without the outline, masked them off and then added leaves around them, again not using the outline. You could use the outline if you wanted and this would give a different look- even try heat embossing like I did for the embellishment flowers on my scrapbook page :)


I simple sentiment from Altenew 'Geometric Flowers' and some black thread finished the card off perfectly.


Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you again soon!

Hugs, Lydia xxx

Bold Blossom Background


Hi there everyone and happy Thursday! Lydia here with you sharing a card made with a new release set from Altenew.


As many of you know I am a lover of all floral images and the new Bold Blossom from Altenew is just stunning! I love that you don't have to colour the image so creating a whole background piece covered in flowers and leaves doesn't take that much time at all!

To start I stamped the solid flower image and stamped this into place all over my card blank using Cotton Candy Altenew Crisp Ink leaving quite big gaps between the flowers. I masked all of these off and then stamped the leaf images around them using Mountain Mist and Volcano Lake Crisp Ink, but you could use any aqua or green tones that you like.


After the leaves were all stamped I removed the masks on the flowers and stamped the other 2 layers on top using Purple Wine and Cosmic Berry Crisp Ink, but again any colours that you like will work and also change up the look of the card.


I added a sentiment onto some black card and matted this onto a piece of vellum before adding this to my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you again soon.

Hugs, Lydia xxx
