Hello friends!

We are celebrating this month's Craft-A-Flower Cosmos with a blog hop!
We are celebrating this month's Craft-A-Flower Cosmos with a blog hop!
If you arrive from the blog of Michelle Short, you are in the right place.
If not, come and join the fun hop for ideas and inspiration. All the details about this blog are listed in Altenew Card Blog.
For this die set, it was really easy to die cut and assemble each piece. I took a lazy approach to get the die cut piece inked up.
I applied bright pink, orange and purple Watercolor Brush Markers liberally all over the Altenew Watercolor Card Stock. This was done before bed time.
The next morning, I have a bright piece of watercolor card stock--tada! Next comes the fun part: die-cutting and assembling. I strategically selected the colors and die cut the pieces based on the depth and colors.
Noticed I also "stamped" the background? Yes, I die cut some craft foam and used it as a stamp....works like magic! This makes my design more cohesive and interesting.
I hope that you like my approach with this amazing Craft-A-Flower Cosmos.

Thanks for sharing.
Your colors are incredible!!! I also love how you added the stenciled flowers in the background. NICE JOB
What a wonderfully colorful card!
This craft flower cosmos die is awesome and I absolutely adore your stunning card!
I love your unexpected colors from the watercoloring. Also the stamped background is a clever idea. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Great idea to make a stamp with foam and to create awesome, wildly colored flowers by watercoloring the paper first. What a creative artist you are, Virginia.
Pretty card. Love the coloring and the 3D effect by lifting the petals. Always love seeing your work.
Pretty colors. I like to grow cosmos in my garden.
I like the color combo. Thank you for sharing.
So fun! What a great idea to just drop some colors, and just be surprised every time at the results! I am going to have to try this, as yours turned out amazing!
The colors you chose to watercolor were stunning and made for a very striking card. What I loved the most was what you wrote about using the foam to then stamp the rest. I would have never thought of that and can’t wait to try it. I’ve never used craft foam for anything so I read up on it after seeing your card and before posting. Thank you for a fresh idea! This blog hop is really getting me excited!
Отличная идея когда хочешь добавить определенный цвет а бумаги такой нет!!! Браво
Your card is so beautiful! I love those lovely, colorful cosmos blooms.
Love how you think outside of the box with the ink blending so cool and adding extra color to the flowers.
Gorgeous! I love the bright colors on your card!
Your watercolor idea was brilliant. Such beautiful artistic results!
Just beautiful, Virginia - love the colors and the technique of creating the bg stamp from foam!!!! Inspiring, as always!!!
Your card has so much depth. Great job.
Love the brightness of your card!
Love the card. I really liked how you made a "stamp" of the die cut to create additional flowers. It added depth without distracting from the die cut flowers as the focal point.
Love your beautiful card and your clever ideas. The watercolor card stock and the stamped background are genius. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
Wonderful cards x
