Hi it's Therese and I'm here with a build a flower released for altenew
and this one is called chrysanthemum and it's a really gorgeous flower because
it's kind of got that painterly look about it so like all of the Build a
flower sets so far they are layering stamp sets as well as they include the
matching dies but I'll go through that a little bit more in a
minute I decided to use my Misti today because I want to stamp a couple of the
flowers out at the same time I'm going to use the set of oranges and I am using
them in the order that they are intended you know how often you make their inks
in color sets so starting with Sunkissed which is the lightest orange cream then
working my way to the Autumn Blaze and the final ones that Firebrick color
so it's a really kind of a rich looking flower I've got a piece of white
cardstock it's cut the same size as my card front and I'm going to be stamping
both of the flowers in the same colors opposite each other so this is going to
be the panel that goes on the front of my card and I'll decorate it in a minute
I'll show you I'm going to anyway so to line up my stamps I have used my Misti I
hold them over top I can see exactly where they're going to be and then all I
need to do is pick up the stamp with the lid of the Misti add my ink and then press
down because I'm doing two flowers at the same time this is a really cheaty way
of doing it, actually all I need to do is flip my cardstock panel
around and then I can just stamp out this second image at the same time
without having to line up another image I'm prepping my stamps with an eraser
just to make sure that the ink gives me a nice solid color because these are
brand new stamps and obviously the more you use a stamp the better they stamp
so here's the hint use your stamps... the last color in this is the firebrick and like I
said it's a really deep dark orangey color and being the darkest color
there's the smallest amount does that make sense because that's going to be
where the shadows are. my sentiment today comes from two different stamp sets the
main portion which is I love you I'm actually stamping only the love you out
of this part of the sentiment and it's from the oriental orchid stamp set and
I'm just using some black ink and I'm using my Misti so I can stamp it a
couple of times as well now the second portion of the sentiment
comes from a set called Precious Moments and I did decide to stamp that in some
green ink today just to mix it up a bit I think that was the moss color that I
used to the darkest of the greens in this set I've also got some leaves that
I've been stamping out there's a couple of leaf images in this set and I play
all 'some you could actually use these almost like a artsy tree looking image
as well if you want it to but anyway I have used the tropical green colors
bamboo parrot olive and moss visa probably my favorite
greens from Altenew they are just beautiful and they do when they dry off
they do actually dry a little bit lighter so like I said this comes with
them matching die and this die is a little bit different to their normal
dies and actually comes in two pieces so there is the usual outline die as well
as an inside die it's that the best way to describe it that will cut some of the
petals on the flower so what I've done is cut myself a guide out of another
piece of white cardstock I can just line up the outline of the flower around the
image that I created and then insert the inner die and just I'm holding
everything in place with some low tack tape and I do like to use a lot of tape
because I don't want to shift that I want this to shift as I pop it through
my Big Shot machine because I don't want to start again and these tapes getting a
little bit old I do need to get some new stuff that's on the roll beside me... I
just haven't got it out. And I'm a bit gentle when I'm pulling that away
because I don't want to tear the cardstock either and look there you go
you can see how the petals lift up and that's why I've done this as a panel I
don't want to actually cut my flowers out but here's my practice flower that I
did whilst to showing that you can actually cut the whole image out as well
as pop up the petals but so to pop up these petals I'm using some they're foam
dots but I'm actually just cutting them to make sure that they sort of fit
behind them and I am going to double them up because they are only 1
millimeter high these dots so I want them to be a little bit more 3d and then
I've just used some scor tape and I've made sure to put some scor tape in the
flower itself just to hold the base of the flower down I just wanted to use a really
strong tape for this to hold the panel in place and to make sure that I can get
those flower petals popped up love these oranges I don't use them enough I'm
trying so the leaves that I did I also use the coordinating dies to cut those
out and and because I've got those die cuts on the petals I'm able to tuck them
in around the petal as well how easy is that I did also decide to add some
sequins to my final design so I head to my blog and you can find the links to
see more inspiration using this beautiful builder flower set until next
time happy papercrafting bye
