Good morning! Today I'm joining Altenew to celebrate the newest addition to the Build a Flower family for March - Sweet Violet! You can also find the bundle with inks HERE.
I'm sharing a set of two cards today using this lovely new release set!
Don't you just love how intricate this stamped image is?!?!? I thought it was so gorgeous to layer up in shades of purple using the Enchanted Garden Inks, and of course a bit of Green Valley and Pocketful of Sunshine.
I used two different sentiments from the stamp set - using the Magnolia Heart Coordinating Die set with a bit of ink blending to help it coordinate and part of the sentiment stamped on it, then heat embossing the rest on a strip of black cardstock.
I arranged my flowers how I wanted them to sit on my card, then picked the entire thing up with Press and Seal to add foam adhesive to back of them. (LOVE this Jennifer McGuire trick!)
The background on both of these has a bit of texture added with the Dotted Scales Debossing Cover Die - one of my favs!
Finished off by layering everything together with some extra white cardstock between layers, and a soft lavender cardbase to coordinate with those lovely flowers!
Here is a closer look at the set, a layering guide, and option of the bundle with inks (which happens to be the same ink colors I selected for my flowers!):
