Today I’m sharing a CAS floral card created with products from the October 2025 Release collection. The Craft-A-Flower: Garden Cosmos Layering Die Set is a stunning addition to the Altenew 3D flowers family, with five layered blooms, flowing leaves, and graceful stems, perfect for bringing the beauty of cosmos flowers to life in your handmade projects. It’s one of my favourite sets from this month’s release!

I started by die-cutting all the elements from white cardstock, then used Altenew Fresh Dye Inks along with mini blending brushes to add colour to the flowers and leaves. For the florals, I chose pink shades from the Rose Petal Fresh Dye Ink Bundle, paired with lush greens from the Tropical Forest Fresh Dye Ink set for the foliage.

For the background, I created a panel by inking The Original Sticky Mat with black ink and making a simple impression on white cardstock. To finish the card I added a tiny sentiment from Build-A-Garden: Serene Blooms.
