For today’s blog hop, I created a simple card featuring some products from the February 2025 Release collection. The Craft-A-Flower: Bearded Iris Layering Die Set is a fabulous addition to the Altenew Craft-A-Flower series, beautifully capturing the elegance of the iris flower.
I started by die-cutting all the elements from white cardstock and used the newly released Shades of Purple and Whispering Woodland Fresh Dye Inks to bring the petals and leaves to life.
To create my background, I used Stencil No. 4 from the Patterned Petals Stencil Set along with Fresh Leaf Fresh Dye Ink. I repeated the stencilling process until I had a beautifully seamless pattern.
To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Label Love Stamp Set, stamped in black ink, and adhered it with Instant Dimension Foam Tape to give the design an added layer of depth and dimension.
That’s it for me, your next stop is Therese Calvird.
You can find the full line up below.
Thank you for stopping by today, enjoy the rest of the hop!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! The iris is beautifully colored.
ReplyDeleteI can not get enough of that fabulous Bearded Iris. It is magnificent! Your colors are perfect! Great Release!
ReplyDeleteHi, Aga -
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card!!! You used the same colors as my wedding decor and irises are among my very favorite flowers. Your color choices are spot-on. Those new inks may just "jump into my cart" as my husband jokes. And I love the stencil you used to get the pattern on the background.
