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: Ranunculus. 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.
I really wanted to have this flower on some dark background. As you may know – I like making dark cards. And one of my favorite dark backgrounds are chalkboard theme. So I decided to go with it.
First I stamped the flower onto a piece of white cardstock using Cosmic Berry, Purple Wine and Pure Graphite inks. I also stamped the leaves with Silver Stone, Industrial Diamond and Pure Graphite inks. Then I die cut all stamped elements using coordinating dies. I took a black marker and colored all white edges of the die-cuts.
Next i made a black card base out of Jet Black Cardstock and rubbed some white ink all over it using paper towel. I stamped the sentiment in the bottom part of the card base using white ink.
Lastly I foam mounted the flower and leaves using black foam squares.
This was a quick card to make and I really like its dramatic look 😉

The Pink flower on black is stunning. I think a bundle for this is perfect. Thanks for sharing and for a chance at a prize.
This card is so beautiful! I love the chalkboard background with the gorgeous flower. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is so cool and different!
So very pretty!
Your chalkboard technique really made that Ranunculus flower pop!! Beautiful.
Such a cool look …it literally looks like you used a chalkboard!
Love the chalkboard effect. It’s not just the background but the flower looks like it was done in chalk too. Very nice.
I like your chalkboard. It makes the beautiful flower stand out.
Такой сложный и насыщенный цветок! Алтенью как всегда не поскупились на размеры ЛОЛ)) У тебя наверно одно из самых интересных использований! В чалке сделать я бы не догадалась никогда.
Wow, this looks amazing!
Beautiful pop of color on your chalkboard!
Awesome against the dark background!
