We are celebrating this month's Craft-A-Flower with a blog hop! All details about this hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog.
If you arrive from the blog of LauraJane, you are in the right place.
If not, come and join the fun hop for ideas and inspiration.
This die set is so easy to use. I decided to use the Gradient Card Stock, so there's no guess work on the color-layering.
For the leaves, I used as many shades of green and this really, to me, made a difference.
I sometimes wish I am florist.... because they would know how to arrange the flowers.
Well, I tried my best to channel my inner florist and this was my arrangement. When you have multiple flowers and leaves, it is best to group them as tightly as you can.
I also keep the weight of the flowers in mind. That way, you can sort of figure out the movement.
I also took on inspiration from Pantone's Color of the Year. That's how I decided to use all shades of grey for the Buttercup background. It looks like that it worked splendidly!

Oh what a gorgeous card. Everything comes together so well. I can't wait to get this die set.
I think the greens really do add such a pop to this card. I love this gorgeous card with such sunny colors.
Love the mix of rich yellows and greens against that background!
Gorgeous card! Love the striped circle behind the flowers
The yellow with the gray is a great combination!
Your card is colorful and eye-catching. The grey horizontal faded striped circle really made the flower pop. That you used different greens to create the leaves added dimension. Excellent job!
So pretty! Love the bright yellow against the grey tones of the Sphere Stencil. Love the stripes with the bright flower arrangement. You may not be a florist but your flower arrangements look pretty spectacular to me!
Gorgeous card💛💛💛 I love the colours you chose💛
You don't need to be a florist...your flower arrangements are always spot on. This one is a) my favorite color and b) absolutely, perfectly done.
Gorgeous card.
Just beautiful, Virginia! Love the background, love the yellows
and greens! And the flower itself is so pretty!
OMG - Gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration!

Beautiful card! Yellow & gray is a perfect combination and the striped circle was the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Beautiful card! I love this set and how life like and vibrant the flowers turn out.
Virgina, you may not be a florist but you arranged this card better than a florist would create a floral arrangement!
I love all that dimension on your card. Great new Craft a Flower set.
What a beautiful card Virginia. Love it!
I LOVE the gold sentiment with the yellow!
I love your Pantone color theme on this new flower die! Beautiful details and workmanship!
So beautiful Virginia! I love your background (I have this stencil and will be using it in a way inspired by this card). Your CAF buttercups are stunning and have so much dimension.
I always love yellow and grey together - beautiful!
Love these pretty buttercups! Gorgeous card!
Your inner florist was working well. The design is really gorgeous. Love the buttercups in these wonderful yellows. Love the striped circle behind the flowers. Grey and Yellow are always such a great combo.
Love the striped circle, adds so much interest.
Stunning card! Such amazing group of talented people here. Your arrangement is spot on and works great with the striped background.
As always - amazing!!
Oh, wow - LOVE THIS BEAUTY!!!
You may not be a florist in real life but you are a paper florist, for sure. I think this may be one of your best cards. I love the layout of the flowers and the gray background is so beautiful. This is such a wonderful Altenew die set.
Wow! Gorgeous! I love how the stenciled sphere spotlights the flowers- the flowers really pop!
love your pretty buttercups Virginia! The stripe circle really sets them off nicely!
Your card is soooo Beautiful!!
The sphere stencil looks beautiful with those golden buttercups and all the variety in green leaves. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is so pretty!! I love the stenciled circle you created. It grounds those gorgeous flowers so well!
I think you did just fine at attempting to be a florist. And I think you didn't mean to say you used shades of grey for the "Buttercup" but for the stencil. I like your card a lot.
I love that background stencil. It adds so much to the whole!
I just LOVE this card! I especially love the Sphere Circle in the background!
I like the circular striped background for the pretty buttercups.
All I want to say is WOW, I love the cards!!
So pretty! Love this new CAF set! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love this layered buttercup die. If it's
as easy as the Virginia Rose it will be delightful to work with.
Pretty card!! LOVE the background!!
Such a pretty card! I love the colors you used and the awesome background. Very nice!!
Such a gorgeous card! Love the background...
Thanks for sharing.
Love it, the background makes it pop!
I just love the stenciled circle background...the effect is really cool!
The background has a window view feel. Gorgeous!
Your card is absolutely gorgeous. I love the layout and the colors are beautiful. Love those buttercups!
Although this isn’t my favorite of the CAF dies, your card sure does it up brilliantly
Virginia, your card is a stunner! The stencil you used in the background is such a beautiful enhancer to the gorgeous buttercups! I cannot wait to get my hands on the Gradient cardstock set summer afternoon! It is a game changer for sure. A fantastic thank you card!!!
