Hi, everyone! Today, Altenew is releasing a new Build-a-Flower set and it’s the stunning Sakura Blossom. I absolutely adore this layered set, which is so easy to stamp. This is the easiest layering set I’ve ever used, which means you need it! The dies are also very unique, with score lines for all the petals and leaves to make them three-dimensional. Yes, heart eyes to all of that!
I need to add a lot of birthday cards to my stash so I decided to make two at once, in bright, sunny colours, instead of the usual pink for Sakura Blossoms.
I used the lightest three shades from Summer Afternoon to layer the yellow flowers and the lightest three shades from Warm and Cozy to layer the orange flowers. I used paler green leaves on the yellow card and brighter green leaves on the orange card. For the stamen, I used warm greys on the yellow flowers and cool greys on the orange flowers. The sentiments are stamped in two colours to match the flowers and leaves on their respective cards. Finally, I added vellum die cuts for balance.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
