Altenew Build-A-Flower: Clover Release Blog Hop + Giveaway


Hello Friends! Welcome to the Altenew Build-a-Flower: Clover blog hop, where we are featuring the compact, round floral beauty, the clover. This blog hop starts at none other than the Altenew Card Blog, which is where you may have come from.

I made two different cards with this set ... one card using the solid leaf shapes, and another more traditional card using the layered stamps for the flower and leaves.

Here's what this set looks like ... two different clover flower heads, and two different sets of leaves.



These neat, compact blooms are easy to assemble into a bouquet because they are all pretty uniform in shape. There's not a lot of floral arranging you need to know how to do.

The background is from sponging ink through the useful Linear Stencil and then adding some gold spatters. The wavy edge circle is actually a leftover I still had on my desk from the recent Layered Geometric Cover Die. There's always a use for everything ... don't toss your leftovers! (unless they are piling all over your desk, then maybe a periodic purge is in order)

The pretty sentiment is one that's included in this set.



For a bonus card, I stamped the two different solid leaf stamps randomly on the card base and added some gold spatter.

This card features the other sentiment included in this set. As much as I love the florals, any time a good sentiment is included in a set, I get so happy. This sentiment is one I can use many, many times. I embossed it in gold on a few of the Diamond Dies.

Giveaway Prizes

    I'm inspired by the use of just the solid layer on the envelope - sometimes I forget you don't have to use every layer! The clover combined with the spectacular stencil is beautiful!

    I love that you used a leftover scrap with the wavy circle. When I craft, I SO often forget to use up scraps and miscellaneous ephemera, die cuts, etc. The colors you chose for the clovers are so vibrant! Love the flowers in the set, but not really sold on the stems.
