Today it’s time for the newest Build-A-Flower: Flourishing Zinnia release and we are hopping along to celebrate. You should have arrived here from ZINIA’s wonderful Blog.
How big is this flower! It seriously dominates a card design so that is what I thought I should do with it today.
My background is from the Celebrations Paper Set and I added a frame from the Create-A-Wreath die set.
It was easy to add a simple sentiment from the Signature Words Die set. I have a video today showing how I layered this stamp.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Another simple yet beautiful card. The zinnia is beautiful. I also liked the way you put the acetate onto the image to see the layering process. Simple and clever.
Hi Therese, I have had trouble with layering stamps in the past. Thanks so much for the coloured pencil tip. I am going to get my layering stamps out and have a play. I thought the zinnia was fantastic
Oh my gosh Therese, this Zinnia is gorgeous in those colors, the simple design with that awesome background, lets your flower be the star.
Thank you for sharing.
XO
Maria.
PS. Can I ask you why you don’t use the little magnets on the MISTI? Just curious. 😉
Hi Maria, I haven’t used the magnets for ages as I find that consistently putting the paper back into the same corner is better and more reliable… I found that if the stamps were really ‘sticky’ the paper would sometimes shift with the magnets and I wouldn’t have realised in time before I restamped (doh!). If I really want something to stay in position I will use the magnets then but I will watch the paper like a hawk lol. Crafty hugs, Therese
Love your card and the tips and techniques you always share with us. They really are helpful. Thank you.
Altenew rocks when it comes to layering floral stamps. Thank you for the tips on layering. Sadly I am intimidated by layering stamps. Maybe I should give it a whirl again. Your card is fabulous.
Thanks for the layering tips. I used to try to wing it on layering too, but gave in to use the guides on the packaging which do help. Your card is so elegant!!!
I think that flower is beautiful and so realistic. I love that the directions are so easy to follow unlike some other layered flower stamps I have. You always do a great job in your cards and are so helpful Thanks for all your videos
I love this flower. I too have trouble lining them up correctly. Someone should have a class on this! Your finished card is amazing! I love Altenew layering stamps and use them all the time! Sometimes I even get them lined up perfectly! Tips and tricks are always appreciated 🙂
Simple & elegant! Love how you’ve framed your beautiful zinnia.

I like those ink colors!
After growing ten large pots of zinnias this summer (from seeds) in my yard, I can appreciate how “real” your pretty stamped zinnia is!!! 🙂 I love how you showcased this stamp with your card. This new Altenew set wants to come to my house to live. 😉
So much detail! Love it!
Stunning! I love the colors and THANK YOU for the video
A simply elegant card Therese. Love the colours of the flower and it provides a perfect spot for the sentiment. Hugs Ali xx
What a beautiful card, Theresa. Thanks for the chance.
A lovely simple card… using gorgeous soft colours. Thanks for the tips with building and touching up at the end. Really helpful!
For me, the layered stamps are hardest to get the outline stamp to work, so I usually skip that one. I like that Altenew has the guide and the ink sets that really make finding the right color combos easier. I hope to get more of the ink selections from them! Thanks for the great tutorial.
Gorgeous Zinnia in such a pretty color. I love how you framed it!!
Love the zinnias amazing stamp set
The zinnia is beautiful! I wish I was better at lining these stamps up. Maybe I’ll have to try again!
Your card looks great! I love how the flower is front and center. 🙂

Another great card Therese. The leaf behind the round frame really created a lot of depth.
Awesome Therese. Love the way you framed the Zinnia.
This is just gorgeous! I wondered if that background was the new wide washi tape but then I saw it was paper. I love how the flower is such a beautiful pop of colour on the neutral background
Clean and simple, beautiful and elegant! I love it, the colors are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing and the inspiration for this beautiful new Zinnia.
I love the Altenew layering sets…and now another to love! 😀 Thanks for the tips and great tutorial!
