Hello there, today I have a bright (you need your sunglasses on for this one!) and summery card to share using the new Altenew Lush Botanicals: African Daisy 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set. This set is fab as not only can you cut the petals to make a beautiful flower using the wonderful keyhole system, you can also emboss them to add beautiful texture too!
PLEASE

I started off my card by die cutting the Altenew Lush Botanicals: African Daisy die set from white cardstock. I then placed them on my Sticky Mat to add ink blending on top. I used Altenew Cherry Blossom Fresh Dye Inks (Rubellite and Razzleberry), as well as Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks (Snapdragon) for the petals. I then used Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks (Sunray & Chamomile) for the centres.
I placed the die cuts into the Altenew Lush Botanicals: African Daisy embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. I then set them aside to dry. Adding the ink onto the die cuts first adds moisture to the cardstock and helps them to not crack when being embossed. The flowers were then adhered together using the keyhole system and liquid glue.
They were adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with liquid glue, cutting off the excess from the sides using scissors. I stamped a sentiment from the new Altenew Sakura Blossoms Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins.

key hole system - whats that ? lovely card btw
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, thank you so much for your kind comment. The keyhole system is a system by Altenew that they use to assemble their dies. In each layer there is a hole cut out in middle shaped like a keyhole. When you add the next layer on top, you line up that keyhole so that the pieces are all in the right place. Makes assembling flowers very easy! I show it better in some of my videos.
Deleteoooooo wow thats clever will go check out the video - thank you
