We are celebrating this month's Craft Your Life Project Kit, Build-a Garden, Craft-a-Flower, Paint-a-Flower and Mini Delight, with a blog hop! If you arrive from the blog of Jolita DeSouza, you are in the right place.
For details and inspiration of this hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog. I have TWO projects to share and hope you enjoy seeing how the designs came about.
Feature product #1: Craft-A-Flower Himalayan Blue Poppy,
I was drawn to the large textured petals and leaves of the Poppies. All you need to do is die cut and assemble. You can keep the color scheme simple.
For the background, I dry-embossed the cardstock with Loving Birds 3D Embossing Folder.
Isn't it cool just to show off the textures of the leaves and flowers (without the lovebirds)?
I decided to ink and spray the petals and leaves. First up, it's about the inking. With first ink-blending the leaves and petals, you get a great mix of colors. It is also easy to control the shading and depth of the colors.
Next, it's about making the colors look natural and organic. I took out Altenew Iridescent Shimmer Ink Spray. You do not need to own every color of the ink spray, however, this Iridescent Shimmer Ink Spray is definitely great crafty arsenal.
The mixture of the spray gives shimmer and water. The spraying allows the colors shine. The water droplets made the images even more interesting. Once dried, it's time to assemble and embellish! Done.
I am loving the colros from Mystic Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set J and decided to practice coloring.
This card was my first try with the new Mystic Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set J
I love the ease of using the various shades of the same colors in one set. I like the result and didn't find it terrible!! I did have a surprise use of Maple Dots in Maple Washi Tape.... I think it brings out the colors even more.
What do you think? I am loving the addition of Dots in Maple Washi Tape.

You are right, the washi makes the poppy card just perfection. So pretty.
The Himalayan Blue Poppy card is so pretty! The ink sprayed petals add so much depth to the flowers. Love the flowers paired with the new embossing folder design.
I love that you use the embossing folder and then put the flowers over it, it really made the card pop. I also love the iridescent spray, I love stuff that gives cards that little extra something.
I love all the different things you used to create color and textures! So very exciting and inspirational!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the first card with the different colors you used on the flowers. WOW!!!!
Love how you used the new products. Love the coloring in both of your cards.
Your cards are beautiful. The way you created the colors on the dies is beautiful. i agree the texture created with the embossing folder adds the perfect subtle background to the flowers.
Your cards are simply gorgeous. Altenew has certainly outdone themselves with this release. Love it all.
The Himalayan Blue Poppy is so incredibly beautiful! Thanks for sharing your work.
Dear Virginia - Your Himalayan Blue Poppy is a stunning card! Wow! I also like the French marigold card. This release has a great deal of awesome items in it!

The poppies are amazing! If you had to pick one flower die to purchase, which would it be and why?
I love the flowers on the embossing folder! Great idea!

Both of these are Really Beautiful!!!!
Love the color blue, Virginia, so the first card is my favorite. But the second card is beautiful, too. Altenew has done it again - love this new release.
Such pretty cards! Love the poppies.
Thanks for the amazing inspiration. The Himalayan Poppy is my favorite product in this great release!
I alte-knew I would love this release...and I was right. The gorgeous blue poppies are so stunning, and I love what the shimmer spray does to the petals. My favorite in the release is the French Marigolds!!! And your coloring makes those marigolds explode off the page! Love it! 💜💜💜
Love your cards. The die cut pieces are amazing.
I love the white embossed flowers behind the die cuts ones. Such a subtle way to add to the card.
Beautiful, love the dimension and colors of the petals!
I love both of your cards but the colors of the first are amazing--so pretty!
This POPPY CARD! super duper!
I really like how you do your compositions. The first card has so much interest with all the coloring techniques on the die cuts against the texture of the white embossing to make a full floral layout. And poppies are always my favorite flower! Love that red paired with the kraft cardstock which makes the card charming and lovely. Thanks for sharing how your created your cards!
Your blue poppies card is lovely and thank you for the how-to tips. I love the orange card, too.
Hi Virginia. I really love your color choice for the Himalayan Poppy flowers. Your ink blending and shimmer spray makes them look very realistic. I like your color choice for the French Marigolds card and the washi tape is a unique touch. I am looking forward to your next creations.
Beautiful cards! I really love the thanks card!
These cards are both gorgeous, but I especially love all the wonderful textures on that first card you posted. The subtle color changes on the flower petals and leaves are really lovely, and so is the embossing. Super inspiring work!
Beautiful cards! The addition of the shimmer spray on the first card added so much to it. I love it.
Your beautiful projects are amazing. I love the texture and the colors!
I'm lovin' all that texture on your first card!!!
