Hello from the Scottish Highlands, This is  Bibi Cameron and I’m passing by to share two easy and simple card ideas using the new  Build -A -Garden Radiant Blossoms  by Altenew.

This beautiful set includes a stamp set, coordinating stencils, and dies—making the creative process effortless and accessible, even if you’re not a colouring expert or when your mojo is low.

The layered stencils allow you to quickly add vibrant colour to your stamped images without the need for advanced skills or expensive markers and once you have the images, it is easy to find your way to create different compositions.

The Cardmaking Process

Let’s start by stamping and colouring the gorgeous Radiant Blossoms images.

I like to use  Neenah 110 lbs and Altenew Obsidian Black Ink or Versafine Nocturne Ink. Both inks work well with Altenew Fresh Dye Inks.

Once the ink is dry, I use the layering stencils to add colour.

I start by using stencil number one (1 ) with a light ink colour, and I increase colour intensity with each layer of the stencil.

After colouring,  I  die-cut the images and set them aside. 

To bring extra detail to this card,  I used the new  Blooming Doily Charm 3D Embossing Folder  to emboss a 4 x 5-1/4″   piece of Moss cardstock.

After embossing the cardstock, I applied white and gold Altenew ink over the raised areas of the stencilled image and Oak Moss Ink  all around the edges for contrast.

You can use any cardstock colour to create this type of background to add a wow factor to your projects with almost no effort.

Next, I use foam tape to stick different elements on the background  and I tucked in die-cut leaves from the Craft-A-Flower: Prairie Roses Layering Die Set, and added a sweet sentiment—“sending hugs your way” from the stamp set included in the  Build -A -Garden Radiant Blossoms project kit. 

I finished the look with scattered Champagne Stellar Sequins for sparkle.
