Altenew Build-A-Flower: Balloon Flower Release Blog Hop + Giveaway



Hello there!
Welcome to the Altenew Build-a-Flower: Balloon Flower Release Blog Hop + Giveaway.  You are arriving from my friend - and amazing designer- Jaycee's blog.




Today, Altenew is releasing a new member in the Build-a-Flower stamp set.  Welcome Balloon Flower!  this new stamp and die set is beautiful and easy to build.  The size of the bloom is perfect for all types of papercrafting projects, but i chose a scrapbook  layout for it



I started by adding a bit of mixed media to the background using the Altenew Watercolor pan set!   While the background set, i stamped the images..



I used Shades of Purple and Rose Petal mini ink cube set to stamp the florals, and Tropical Forest mini ink cube set for the leaves.   



I backed the pictures of my little ones with papers from the Celebrate collection, and then create a column of florals and pieces of the Creative Cut outs:Wreath .  




To finish the page, I used the Handwritten Hello Die set to cut part of the title of the page, and then completed the page with a few more embellishments and stickers.




I love how this turned out, and i cannot wait to see what you create with this new stamp set.   Remember that you can always receive the Build a Flower stamp at home using the subscription program...



Of course this celebration will not be complete without a giveaway:

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 5 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog for a chance to win. 


We’ll also draw a winner to receive a $15 gift certificate from the comments left on each designer’s blog on the blog hop list below. All winners will be announced on the Altenew Winners Page on 08/09/2020.


Good luck everyone!
