Hi there! Today I’m joining Altenew for the release of their Build-A-Flower:Carnation set.
I love these gorgeous multi-step stamping sets. They really make you look like you know what you’re doing, ha! The carnation image is such a classic that will never go out of style.
I used variations of the Red Cosmos ink set to get the three different looks for each carnation and the Tropical Forest ink set for the leaves.
GIVEAWAY!
Leave a comment on the Altenew Card or/and Scrapbook blogs for a chance to win one of four $30 gift certificates. Winners will be announced on December 20th. (Two winners chosen from the card blog post, two winners chosen from the scrapbook blog post.)
You can also leave me a comment for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate:)
Thanks so much for stopping by!

December 16, 2017 at 8:53 amLaura, I like the touch of the outline support flower cluster next to the green leaves — a simple touch that adds to the card but doesn’t fight with the main (gorgeous) images. Nice work, as always.
