Altenew Build-A-Flower: Torch Ginger Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hi there!
Welcome to the ALTENEW BUILD-A-FLOWER: TORCH GINGER RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Altenew Card Blog ( a list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post).


This month's BAF: TORCH GINGER is a great addition to the family.  The stamp is detailed, and easy to layer, so you will be creating lots of these flowers in a short amount of time.   The size of the image is perfect for memory keeping, so i used it to create a 12x12 layout:



I used inks from the Red Cosmos and Tea Party Mini Ink cube set to create the flowers for the page, and Green Meadow Ink set to stamp the images.  However, i chose to skip the first (full image of the flower)after stamping the outline with Obsidian ink, so that i can get a softer image of the flower.



After stamping and die cutting all the flowers.  I used theCreative Edges: Lace die set to cut a few decorative strips of paper, and also added a bit of color to the background using the Wavy Grid stencil and Jet Black ink.



Though the strips of paper anchor the page, the small  marker (Artist Marker set E)  lines at the bottom of the page help to ground the flowers to the layout.   These are so easy to cluster using a bit of foam adhesive between them.  The following video will show you how the page came together:





Just love how easy this came together...

  43. I really like how you used plain white paper as a background and for the most part left it that way. It really makes the flowers stand out, as well as the picture in the middle. I’m not one for super-busy pages in the first place. To me, this is the perfect balance - enough to fill the page, but not so much that it’s hard to determine the main focal points.
