Happy 2019, my friends!
Let's kick off the new year with another exciting Altenew Build-A-Flower Hyacinth release!
What I love about this set is that it comes with two gorgeous images and each layer is stunning on its own. I can think of all sorts of ways to use them, but I had to stamp them first, so this is the first version that I came up with.
This stamp set is definitely one of a kind.
The images are delicate and intricate! The die will cut each tiny part off like butter!
I love the rich and vibrant colors from the Watercolor Brush Markers ( you NEED!).
I inserted the bottom part of the flowers and added Nuvo Gold Glitter to ground the Hyacinth.
I love the contrast of colors with the kraft and white card stock and I hope you like it, too!

I also loved how you tucked the stems behind the stripes! So cool!!!
Your combination of background kraft and white stripes sets these intricate blossoms beautifully. Gold glitter "grounding" the flowers is a super idea too. I've already used my scrapbook.com gc you gave away (Altenew fine alphabet). Maybe another gc will come my way. ;-O
Your card is beautiful! I love Hyacinths and it's so fun to see a new flower set from Altenew! I love the colors in the kit too.
gorgeous card, love the way you used this stamp set
Lovely card - For some reason, I really love the more sparse stem you have in the middle - it makes me think of the odd little one in my own garden in Spring. Very pretty.
As always...beautiful.
This is my favorite card of the hop! Great job😀
Such a beautiful card :)
-LOve your card! It is beautiful. Such inspiration.
Your card is so lovely!
How appropriate this is, considering my hyacinths are sprouting as we speak. However, they aren't going to be as vibrant and beautiful as you made yours. Think the kraft under the cover plate is brilliant to show the flowers off, perfectly.
Lovely, lovely card. I love hyacinths, their fragrance represents Spring to me!
Beautiful card! I love the different colors of your flowers. So pretty!!
Love this paired with the watercolor die in the background! :)
Love the bold background with the delicate floral images. You did an amazing job with this set. Happy New year. Thank you for sharing your art..
Simply gorgeous, Virginia! The new BAF set is so pretty and your card design is really nice. Happy New Year!

Beautiful colors, and love the background die! So many wonderful ideas.
Virginia, you've done it again. You've made a fabulous card & even thought of the small detail of tucking the stems under the stripe. You have a good eye for detail. Love the bold colours of the markers you used. It really makes the intricacy of the flower stand out. Thanks & Happy New Year!
It's gorgeous, and it makes me forget the cool temperature outside! Love how you placed the flowers!!
I love your approach to the background and the contrast created with the fussiness of the hyacinth and gold against the white and kraft paper, more linear backgrounds! Beautiful work, feels fresh and new, very creative!
Beautiful set. You did a great job on your card.
Awesome colour combination!
Virginia there is nothing I don't like about your card. Love how the stripes set the hyacinth off.
Beautiful card - I really like how you've planted your vibrant flowers in the bottom stripe of the cover die!
Gorgeous card! I love that you did the flowers in the different colors, and the stripe background really sets it off! Thanks for the inspiration!

Another great sample for using my watercolor stripe cover die! Love how colorful your card is!
Your pretty hyacinths really stand out against this neutral striped background, and it looks amazing!

Oh what a way to start the New Year - a gorgeous new BAF and it's a Hyacinth definitely a favorite! Your card is gorgeous, I do love the craft and white and the Watercolor Stripe cover die is perfect. I can't believe how detailed the layers are with this set, so realistic looking. I was already thinking (before I read your notation) that I needed to get the bundle because I love the ink cube colors they included with this set.... great minds lol. Happy New Year and here's to a wonderful, crafty, blessed 2019!!
