introducing Altenew Craft-A-Flower (Lily) with you.
We are celebrating this new feature with a blog hop and you can find all details about this over Altenew Card Blog!
Craft-A-Flower die sets are released monthly and celebrate the beauty of a wide
variety of flowers! Each set includes all the pieces you need to create a
multi-layered floral arrangement, inspired by our popular 3D flower dies. All
you need to add is colored cardstock and a die cutting machine.
If you arrive from the blog of Nathalie DeSousa, you are in the right place.
If not, come and join the fun hop for ideas and inspiration.
Let me tell ya, this die works like a DREAM! It is super easy and fun to line up.
I had a blast creating with this set and you will, too!

I had a blast creating with this set and you will, too!
I opted the organic approach, so I made my own color paper with the Altenew 24 Pan Watercolor Pan Set and Watercolor Paper Pad (9"x12").
The color- layering card stock will make this an easy task, too!
I used one sheet from d Watercolor Paper Pad (9"x12") for all the layered pieces.
Before my bed time, I painted the paper in various shades of pink, yellow, red, orange and green.
The first thing in the morning, I get to die-cut all the pieces.
The colors are so rich and bright! I decided to incorporate dots (Feeling Dotty Stencil with Embossing Paste) into the background.
The flower center was die cut from black card stock.
The sentiment from Dot Botanicals is just lovely in this.

The paper you made for the lilies is gorgeous!!! Love the bright colors and the variegation you achieved with the green is amazing. Really like the way you did the groups of dots with the embossing paste. I will have to try that. Great card!
This is stunning! I love the waterpaper cardstock you created for this.
These are a work of art. I'm not KIDDING!!!
This has to be my favourite card from the whole blog hop! I just love how you watercoloured those flowers, and the background with the paste and stencil. STUNNING! Another one of my favourite cards made by Virginia!
I LOVE your lilies, those water colored layers are so gorgeous!
Love this idea, layered dies are the best thing to come along in a long time.Thanks for sharing your card.
Your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love your watercolored lilies. I have several Altenew layering die sets and I struggle to find the right papers in coordinating colors -- this idea is genius.
So beautifully colored. What a great set of stamps.
Absolutely gorgeous Virginia! How cool that you made your own paper with watercolors! I’m so excited about the Craft A Flower option!!!
Making your own paper with the watercolors added depth to the flowers vs die cutting single colored papers. The dots made with the embossing paste added and other 3-D element. Having some of the flowers go off the edge drew your eyes out from the card - nice touch. Spectacular work! Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us!!!!
Wow! Outstanding colors and layout design. Thank you!
very beautiful and cheerful
Oh, my, this card is GORGEOUS!!!! And the colors are fab as is the design!!!
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! I love the watercolor look of the flowers. My favorite so far!

Oh wow, love the marbled look on these flowers! It adds so much depth!
I adore these flowers. They are just stunning
Gorgeous card! Love the watercoloring!
I like that you made three different colored flowers for the same card. Looks more natural. You are very talented and really made this set shine. Great job. Staying home, crafting, reading and blog hopping. Keeping safe.. you do the same!
I love the watercolor affect you used in this card, so creative. Can't wait to try it.
So far, yours is definitely my favourite. Straight away, you could tell there was something different about your flowers. The colours are beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.
wow, absolutely gorgeous!
