Hi everyone! Welcome to Altenew’s Build-a Flower: Fuschia release! You have arrived from the blog of the amazing EMILY MIDGETT. Just in case you are lost, the master list will be at the end of this blog post and at the Altenew Card Blog where this stamp set release is being hosted. Take a look at this beautiful stamp and die set!!!
Below are 2 samples of cards I made for this stamp set using the stamp layering technique and the
SMILE BIG CARD
MATERIALS:
- ALTENEW BUILD-A-FLOWER: FUCHSIA STAMP AND DIE BUNDLE
- ALTENEW MID-CENTURY FRAME DIE
- ALTENEW OBSIDIAN PIGMENT INK
- ALTENEW CRISP CLEAR EMBOSSING POWDER

- Neenah solar white Cardstock, hot pink cardstock

I decided not to use the stems for this flower and just use the flowers, buds and leaves to create a focal point. The mid-century frame die was used to create a frame using white cardstock. Two of them were layered to add more rays. The flowers were then stamped using the different layers then the flowers were arranged using adhesive and foam tape for dimension.
I always die cut scratch paper to act as a template when lining up the die with the stamped image to make sure the white outline around the image is uniform.
The sentiment from the Circled Sentiments was stamped using the Obsidian pigment ink then embossed with clear embossing powder.

I had a booboo 🙁 After carefully stamping and masking my card front, I didn’t realize that the magnet of my Misti somehow had ink underneath it so when I lifted it from the card front, this was what I saw. 🙁
So instead of starting all over again with stamping and masking, I just decide to cover up the area with a
I chose to make a simple no-line
I also inked the edges of the card front and sentiment strip with Versmark Ink and then heat embossed with Rose Gold embossing powder to add a touch of shimmer at the edges of the card.
Since I had extra flowers and leaves, I decided to fussy cut
