It's time to share another exciting Altenew Build-A-Flower with you.
We are celebrating this month's Build-A-Flower Cora Louise Peony with a blog hop!
We are celebrating this month's Build-A-Flower Cora Louise Peony with a blog hop!
If you arrive from the blog of Jenny Colacicco , you are in the right place.
If not, come and join the fun hop for ideas and inspiration.
I started out with masking the flowers and created a floral background. Altenew offers wide range of green ink colors.
I highly recommend you to mix your greens and see what layered effect you get!
I then decided to white-emboss the Peony on vellum. The details from the outlines are simply outstanding!
I colored heavily on the backside of the vellum flower and then fussy cut the peony.
I popped up the vellum flower and added metal thread. This card is done!
Giveaway Prizes: $200 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a $15 gift certificate to 10 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 01/07/2021 for a chance to win. Altenew will draw 11 random winners from the comments left on each stop of this blog hop and announce the winners on the Altenew Winners Page on 01/09/2021.
