ALTENEW BUILD-a-FLOWER: DAHLIA Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hi there and welcome to the Build-a-Flower: Dahlia Release Blog Hop and Giveaway!   You should be arriving from the talented Emily Midgett's blog.      I am so happy you are joining me today as i show you a few projects created with the beautiful Build-a-Flower:  Dahlia Stamp and Die set.





For my  first project i chose to create a card using the Build-a-FLower: Dahlia Stamp and Die set and pairing up with the Leaf Medallion die.   I chose to stamp the flowers on mixed media paper and used the Altenew watercolors pan set to detail them and bring losts of dimension to the image.





To make the Dahlia stamped images stand out, i used the Leaf Medallion die to create the background from dark brown metallic paper from Tim Holtz.  This was all glued to a white cardstock panel.  The sentiment also comes from the Build-a-Flower:  Dahlia stamp set.   I chose this time to use a wine color card base as it frames the card pannel nicely.    Totally love how easy this was to put together.






After creating the card, i was totally loving the color combination, so i decided to use it to create this layout about my new baby cousin -my Goddaughter-.  This time, i chose to detail the Dahlia stamped images with the Altenew Shade of Purple, Rose Petal, Tropical Forest, Green Fields Crisp Ink Mini Cubes.






To have the colors of the flowers stand out, i paired them with a few papers from the Verdant 6x6 paper pad, and embellishments from the Acetate Butterfly collection.





The title was created using the Mini Hello stamp set and the Charmed Stamp set, and placed opposite to the picture in the layout.   The following video will showcase how this page came together:





The beautiful blooms from the Build-a-Flower: Dahlia set are the perfect background to the sweet picture of my new baby cousin.     The delicate images are so perfect to create all types of projects beyond cards and layouts.  Remember to stop by Altenew to check the new Build-a-Flower: Dahlia stamp and die set, or better yet sign in for the BAF subscription which will provide you with the monthly Build-a-Flower release at a discounted prize .
