Hello there!

Today is 15th and that means that there is new Altenew Build-A-Flower product released. This month it’s Build-A-Flower: Magnolia. It’ll be only available as a bundle, stamp and die sets won’t be sold separately.

Altenew is celebrating this mini release sharing inspiration from design team and also by giving away certificates to Altenew store.

Do you like magnolias? I cannot say that I’m a flower person. Which you won’t tell looking at my cards lol. Well, I mentioned this bizarre fact many times. Not being a big lover of real flowers when it comes to cardmaking – flowers are my favorite to work with.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I hate flowers in real life. I do enjoy looking at them and smelling them 🙂 But I don’t have butterflies in my stomach when I see them. Like I do seeing a cat or dog … or squirrel … or bird … or any animal really.

But magnolias are those rare flowers that make my heart flutter. They look magical to me. And so beautiful. I do like them as well of an art form. So for my card I decided to went with an art gallery kind of design.

To start off I inked an Solar White panel using Silver Stone and Industrial Diamond inks.

Then I stamp the magnolia branch using Jet Black ink, following by stamping all layers using Ocean Waves, Desert Night, Dusk, Evergreen, Forest Glades and Dark Chocolate inks.

After that I colored it using Artist Markers. Which covered my stamping completely, but I referred to stamped layers while was deciding where to put shades.

To add a bit of deepness to colors I covered the branch with Clear Wink Of Stella.

I then added some droplets of Industrial Diamond and Pure Graphite inks with small brush as well as drew some with white gel pen.

I then cut my panel creating three kind of art pieces and foam mounted them onto a white card base.

Finally I added a sentiment stamped with Industrial Diamond ink. This time I opted to stay away of any embellishments, like sequins or something. Since I had enough dots on my card 🙂 Besides sequins didn’t go with the whole idea of wall art gallery.

This is such an amazing stamp set. I see me using it a lot in future 🙂
