Altenew | Build-A-Flower: Sakura Blossom+ Giveaway (CLOSED)

Altenew Build-A-Flower Sakura Blossom. Card by @craftwalks

Hello there!

Today is Altenew Build-A-Flower product of the month mini-release. This month it’s Build-A-Flower: Sakura Blossom. It’ll be only available as a bundle, stamp and die sets won’t be sold separately.

The Sakura blossom is a lovely Japanese flower, and is known as a cherry blossom in some parts of the world. “Sakura” is derived from the Japanese word for “bloom” – “saku.” In the United States, tourists travel to our capital, Washington D.C., to see the flowers bloom at the annual cherry blossom festival. This stamp set features layered cherry blossoms and leaves, and the accompanying die have score details to help you create 3D flowers.

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

I made a very simple, fresh and clean card using the new product.

First onto a white card base I stamped a couple of branches using Forever and Day Stamp Set along with the sentiment using Dark Chocolate Dye Ink.

Next I stamped several smaller and bigger flowers using pink inks and die-cut them using matching dies. These dies have score lines which help to add dimension to the flowers. Which I did by squeezing petals along the score lines.

The flowers were adhered onto the card and pink clear crystals were adhered in their middles.

Lastly I added several pink crystals.

This set also has two leaves and flower stamens. I’ll be sharing soon the card where I used all elements from them set.

    Beyond gorgeous, the blossom on this card is so delicate, pretty and a realistic colour, you can almost smell the scent from them. I really really like this card you have made.

    I love the pinks you’ve chosen for this card. It looks so cheery in the midst of this long cold winter – a sign that Spring will come a few more months. Lovely brushed- looking shading on the individual blossoms and I love the dimension you gave them by shaping them and bending them a bit when you put them on the branches. So very pretty!
