Happy June, my friends!
It's time to share another exciting Altenew Build-A-Flower with you.
This month's Build-A-Flower is Crocus is absolutely stellar!

I have an absolute blast creating today's project. After I played with the stamp a little bit, I realized that I want to apply the "Partial Die-cutting" technique!
Since the stamp-layering is super easy to do, I planned out the design and stamped the foreground first. As you can see, there are four leaves and two Crocus.
After stamping the images, I lined up the dies and left the bottom part hanging outside the die-cut machine. In this case, that part will not cut through (only the top part). Then it's time to stamped the background with the tall leaves and inked up with minty green. I also added two extra crocus in the background.
The "Partial Die-cutting" may seem to be tricky, but the end result was well worth it!
I didn't have a re-do as my plan totally worked!
I hope that you love my take with the Partial Die-cutting!
For my purple Crocus, I used the Crocus and Ink Bundle combo and added yellow.

What beautiful bold colors! I love the softer colors and to see the bolder colors really show how far Altenew has come in creating their layering stamps.

Your cardbrings happiness
I agree. The end result was truly worth it. Love the effect of the partial die cutting. I am still unsure of how I do with layering stamps. But I enjoy looking at others work using this kind of stamp.
Oh, the partial die cutting is amazing on your card! A 3D look like you’re looking into a garden! Thank you!
Beautiful, so beautiful. Love the partial die cutting and it worked perfectly. Love the colors too!
I like the spikey effect you got with your leaves. It added to the drama and balance of your excellent card.
The partial die cutting is fabulous and really adds a lovely dimension to your card.
Crocus are such happy flowers. Too bad they are short lived.
Beautiful!! Looks like my backyard!
I am totally in love with your technique. So cute. I will have to try that myself.
Oh dear...so pretty and life-like. Sadly, all my croci are gone now but they're such a happy little flower and a true harbinger of Spring. Love how you used partial diecutting and filled it out with extra flowers.
A very clever card design, Virginia! Love the new crocus stamp/die set.

Really nice card! I like the large size of the blooms.
The depth of your project with partial die cutting is lovely! I love the purple/greens the inks in the bundle too. It's nice to know that it layers easily as some layering sets are tricky, ie. Vintage Roses and Zinnia sets that I own.
