ALTENEW: FLORAL LAYOUT + HOW TO VIDEO!

Hello, crafty friends! I hope you are having a fantastic day. This is Maryám and today I am going to be sharing with you how to create a CAS floral layout featuring the new Mod Vases Die Set and the Build-A-Flower Triumph Tulip Set.

How-to:

When I am creating a layout what I do first is to focus on gathering all the elements and embellishments (or making some of them if needed) that I will use for my project and in this case, I started by building the flowers and leaves.

Here are the ink colors I used:

• Yellow tulip- Butternut, Pumpkin Pie, Yellow Ochre, Sicilian Amber.
• Purple tulip- Pale Mauve, Amethyst, Grape Agate, Plum.
• For the leaves- Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen.

Once I finished stamping all the layers, I created a quick mask from a post-it note and pulled out the Beloved Daisy Stamp Set to incorporate a stem to my tulip. I also stamped some leaves and floral sprigs and cut them out using coordinating dies.

Following this, I cut three vases from the Mod Vases Die Set out of white cardstock.

Since I wanted them to have a more realistic look, I took some inks and did some ink blending with the help of my blending tool. The ink colors I used are Sicilian Amber and Dark Chocolate.

To add more texture, I grabbed Sketched Lines Stencil and applied some Embossing Paste with the help of a palette knife. It is really hard to photograph the texture that the paste adds to a page, but in real life, it looks amazing!

Last but not least, I added some sequins and enamel dots and my layout was done!

Let’s take a look at the finished floral layout!
