It’s time for the next Build-A-Flower set from Altenew and this one is so sweet, it’s called Japanese Mum. We are hopping along to celebrate the release so you should have arrived here from SEEKA’s amazing Blog!
I love that this stamp has both an outline and is a layering stamp so to me (ie. a person that likes to colour) this means that I have options. But today I opted for the layers… but without the outline.
I had some leftovers so quickly threw this card together. The dotty background is from the Essential Black & White Paper Pack.
and the heat embossed sentiment is from the Sentiments & Quotes Stamp Set.
I have a video showing how this card came together and the No Outline Stamp :Layering process. I also added some design paper from the Celebrations Paper Set.
and a sentiment from More Than Words. It’s been an age since I have used this ‘layout’ and I always love it (even though it covers the flowers wink!).
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Gorgeous, Therese … the drama of the black base with the polka dots is fabulous behind that single bloom … and I love how the wavy lines on the DP make it seem that the floral cluster is being gently wafted by the breeze! Hugs, Anita 🙂
