How-to Video | One Layer Cards w/ Stamped Background (feat. Altenew Wildflower Garden Stamp Set)

It’s been my pleasure to be designing for Altenew since I joined the Altenew card design team in 2015. They have amazing products – stamps, dies, inks, stencils, markers, and more – which are worth checking out HERE.
These are some of the stamp sets that I’ve illustrated for Altenew. Do you own any stamp sets from above? What’s your favorite stamp set from Altenew? Make sure to check out My Stamp Designs page to see all of the products I designed for last four years.
For my first card, I started cutting down my panel into 4.25″x5.5″ out of Altenew Spicy Yogurt Cardstock using my Tim Holtz paper trimmer. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Crafty Life stamp set with Altenew Permanent Black Ink on the center of my A2 size panel.
I chose the images from the Wildflower Garden stamp set as the solid images in the set are perfect for background stamping and easy for customization. I stamped the images using several Altenew Crisp Dye ink pads and here is the list of ink colors I used for my stamping:
- Coral flower: Rouge, Coral Bliss
- Yellow flower: Maple Yellow, Honey Drizzle
- Mint flower: Volcano Lake, Lagoon
- Purple flower: Lavender Fields, Deep Iris
- Stems & Leaves: Olive, Moss
- Center of the flower: Lava Rock
- Leaves: Morning Frost, Evening Gray, Moon Rock, and Lava Rock
When it comes to creating my own stamped background, I always start stamping larger images first and fill in the gap with smaller images later. And it’s very important to stamp your large images in the right place as they help balance the rest of your small images.
As you can see above, I applied some darker color toward the bottom of each image to add some depth and interest to my stamped images. I love that the natural grains in the Spicy Yogurt Cardstock give it a beautiful earthy texture. What do you think? Do you still love the white card base?
Video Tutorial
I made a video tutorial to show you how to create my floral cards from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube. This video includes:
- How to choose a color combination for your projects
- How to start stamping to create a balanced background
- How to add shades to your stamped images
- How to customize your clear stamps
- Several projects featuring a dot technique
- Behind-the-scenes of my craft desk – I hope you relate to my messy desk!
I created another card using the same stamp sets and ink colors. For my second card, I only used one ink color for each image to achieve a simple stamped look.
Could you recognize where I customized the stamps? I illustrated the Wildflower Garden stamp set to allow you to mix and match flowers and stems for creating your own garden of wildflowers.
With 10 different flowers of various sizes and plenty of corresponding leaves and stems, you will be able to make endless floral backgrounds with the Wildflower Garden stamp set.
On my second stamped background panel, I add some dots between the images using the fine tip of Altenew Artist Marker: Mango Smoothie and Arctic. You could use a tiny solid circle stamp if you want to. If you are looking for an easy way to dress up your stamped background, this dot technique will give your card more finished look.

So you’ve watched poker on Television, maybe even played
on the internet. They often come from the blackjack
tables and have seen only 5-6 hours of play. Permitting players to
purchase more chips if they lose them all throughout a selected
period of time is a method to make sure that everybody
gets an opportunity to play for an ample amount of
time previous to being relegated to watching the tournament from the
sidelines. Its a simple approach to keep monitor of whos coming and who
isnt. In case you are lucky enough to have players who’re
experienced sufficient to also know the way deal, see if one of them
could be willing to be the designated dealer for each table.
All the people who selected the same swimsuit will sit at the same table in the
order of the rank of their card. The chip values, in actuality dont matter both since all people goes to be beginning with the same whole worth in chips.

Wonderful blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or
go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m
completely confused .. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your
intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you
could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to
be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get
irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without
having side effect , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
