Hello! Welcome to the Altenew Build A Flower Queen of the Lilies Blog hop. This new Build a Flower stamp set is quite majestic and I enjoyed building them up with inks!
I have 2 cards to share with you today using this stamp set!
Card 1: Soft Watercolor Background
For this first card, I used a soft blue watercolor background to really make those Queen Lilies pop! I stamped up the lily in white by using a soft grey ink for the first layer. For the center of the lily, I used yellow ink; and for the spots I used an orange ink. I LOVE how this lily came out.
Card 2: Pink Lily (No Outline)
These lilies are beautiful in all the colors, and for my next one I wanted a PINK lily that was a little softer…so I didn’t stamp the outline layer.
I also created a soft watercolor background for this card, but this time I used blues, yellows, green, and soft pink. Then I added that bold pink lily on top, together with some of the leaves.
I stamped this one with some beautiful pink inks from Altenew, creating a black stamen with orange pollen. The spots are stamped in a soft grey ink.
Imagine the different colors of lily you could make just changing up your inks!
I love that Altenew makes it easy to create stunning flowers with a layering guide inside the stamp set pamphlet.
This set is also available as a Build A Flower subscription, when you sign up for the subscription you will save 14%.
I’ve created a short video to show you just how easy this set is to get a stunning result! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:
