Hello friends!
It is my turn to share an Altenew project with you.
This time I am doing something other than a rectangle card.
April's Build-A-Flower Aster
Have you ever decorated a paper bag? I love using stamps and dies for this purpose.
The white-embossed details from Build a-Flower Aster are amazing.

April's Build-A-Flower Aster
Have you ever decorated a paper bag? I love using stamps and dies for this purpose.

Can you believe all the colors are from the Altenew Shimmer Sprays?
I love stamping leaves. The Altenew Ink and Shimmer Sprays are in perfectly matched and there is no guess work involved. I took the chance while my supplies were all out and even made a tag with the scraps, too!
And that's not all...I made a square card with the same stamp set and die!
For the Aster flower here, I gold-embossed the image onto a heat-resistant acetate.
Hot Off The Press Acetate was used here.
I know I can think of more ways of using the Build a-Flower Aster , but I will stop...for now.

I am looking forward to finding out May's Build-A-Flower!!

Wow! That gift bag is spectacular. All those glorious, colorful asters are beautiful...then the tag and that simply gorgeous tag. I am definitely stealing...er...CASEing these ideas.
Love those gorgeous asters! Pretty colors on your gift bag, and a lovely card too!
WOW your gift bag set is absolutely gorgeous Virginia.
Gift bag---what a great idea. Your gold mum is gorgeous. The trio on the gift bad simply stunning.

I LOVE that fun bag you made!! The square card ROCKS!!
So beautiful with the embossed flowers. I like the colors and the strip of gold.
Virginia, This set is so pretty! The gift bag with the different colored asters is gorgeous- much nicer than anything you'd find in a store! I never would have thought to heat emboss an image on acetate and then cut it out with the matching die but it looks great! This whole ensemble is bound to put a smile on the recipients face no matter what gift is inside!
What a clever idea!! I have never decorated a bag before... I might have to give that a try one of these days.. hmmm, the wheels are turning.. lol. Beautiful work, as always. Love it all!! Bag, tag and card!!
Amazing projects. Love the flowers!
