Hello friends!
Every 15th day of the month and over Altenew, a brand new Build-a Flower set will be released. The stamp set and die set won't be available for purchase individually - it's
only available as a set. You can find the blog post for the previous release here.
This month, it is the beautiful Build-a Flower Aster.
I have a ton of fun creating with this flower as you can imagine. 😉
I love the pointy details of the Aster and decided to do partial die-cutting.
Once the flower had gone through the die cut machine half way, I trimmed off the upper portion from the white card stock with my big Fiskar scissors. For the text background, I stamped all the sentiment from the set and adhered the vellum over.
I only used the outline stamp (the flower comes with 3 images!). I love the intensity of blue from the Shimmer Spray.

I also added 3 pieces of Aster die cut underneath the blue one and offset it a bit.
I will definitely share more versions with this lovely stamp set and die.

Love the design on this card:)
Just love your layered blue aster, Virginia!
No other word for it...stunning. That aster is gorgeous in the blues and the love the use of vellum and partial diecutting.
Love you design, Virginia--beautiful card!
This is lovely. I like the way you stamped the kraft and then layered the vellum over it. Your flower is so beautiful!! Great design!!
Hi Virginia, Lovely card! This set is stunning and the sentiments are also just what I have been looking for, so I ordered it this morning! Looking forward to seeing what else you do with it. To partial die cut, did you do that only on the bottom white cardstock, and then layer the fully die cut images on top? I haven't tried that technique yet. Love the shimmer spray, too!
Love your idea for what you made.. your card is so pretty.
Just lovely! Love the partial die cut.
This is a wonderful stamp set & your aster is gorgeous! That blue!! Oh my... Your card is so lovely with the verse muted underneath the vellum. Thanks for sharing your inspiration.
