Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Snowdrop

12/7/2020

 

Introducing...Snowdrop

Picture
Hello crafty friends! Please welcome Snowdrop to the Altenew Craft-A-Flower family. Craft-A-Flowers are a set of dies that when used together make beautiful flowers. This Snowdrop set will make 4 flowers with stems and leaves. You can sign up for a subscription and have the newest Craft-A-Flower sent to you each month. 
To celebrate this release, Altenew is sponsoring a blog hop. If you are hopping along, you have just come from Jessica Frost-Ballas of All the Sparkle. Your next stop is the talented designer from Just Made from Paper, Agnieszka Małyszek. To check out giveaways and prizes and for more information, check out the Altenew Card Blog. 
Snowdrops are harbingers of spring. Their lovely delicate flowers peeking up over the snow signal winter is finally over and spring is near. I wanted to bring that feeling to this card by using shades of white and green. 
Picture
To make this background, I took a piece of Neenah 80lb solar white cardstock and blended firefly and grass fields over it using the Altenew large blender brush. To add extra detail and texture to the background, I used the Garden Trellis stencil. On the Garden Trellis Stencil, I pounced a white pigment ink all over one side. Then I laid the inked stencil over the blended background. Carefully, I ran the stencil and blended background through my die cutting machine using the embossing mat. This will depress the white ink into the background in the stencil pattern. 
The snow drops and leaves were cut from metallic card stock.
Snowdrops: Curious Metallic in Ice Silver, Eris and Aloe
Leaves: Stardream Metallic in Fairway and Eucalyptus
The card was finished off with some Golden Trim Washi tape and a sentiment from Perfectly Perfect stamp set heat embossed with Altenew Antique Gold Embossing Powder.

Hi Lynne, thanks for the comment. I agree, the metallics add such a cool touch to these craft-a-flower die sets. I get a swatch book from Cut Card Stock for $10US (I am not an affiliate). Here is a link: https://www.cutcardstock.com/products/stardreammetallicsamplepack
The sample pack has each color of cardstock and they are A2 sized. Very economical and you are not stuck with a bunch of colors you'll never use.
