Altenew just released the Build-A-Flower: Coral Charm Set, and I’m excited to join in their special release. This set includes a 6×8 stamp set and coordinating dies, and it is only available for purchase as a set, and not individual products. (Shop HERE!)
I created my own floral arrangement using multi stamping and die cutting techniques. After stamping the outline images with Hero Arts intense black ink, I added layers by detail images in shades of pink, purple, and gray.
FYI, these are the Altenew ink colors I used for my flowers and leaves:
- Pink flower: Rose Quartz, Puffy Heart, and Purple Wine
- Purple flower: Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, and Deep Iris
- Gray leaves: Evening Gray, Moon Rock
I made my card base out of Altenew Real Gray cardstock. After stamping a few supportive floral images in black on the background, I assembled my flowers and leaves and popped them up using 3M foam tape.
I heat embossed my sentiment from the Crafty Friends stamp set with white embossing powder on a piece of black cardstock. I finished off my card by mounting my sentiment banner on the card front.

To celebrate this special release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to THREE lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew blog for a chance to win.
Giveaway Reminder
I’m giving away a prize pack of stamps and dies valued at over $50. I’ll announce one lucky winner on Friday, July 21st. Leave a comment on my yesterday’s blog post to enter.
That’s all for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a fabulous weekend!

I’m going to start using more grey coloring. I love the look of this card and the grey makes the pink and purple flowers stand out. Beautiful
