Yay! It’s time for another 3D floral to add to the stash…. but first, did you know
that this is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew and if you are hopping along you should have arrived here from NENETTE’s fabulous Blog!
I have 2 cards and a video to share with you today. I decided to create my very own bespoke watercolour design paper using the Altenew Artists’ Watercolor paints and I used this on both card designs.
Starting with a background which has a subtle pattern added using the Dotted Starburst Debossing cover Die.
The sentiment is cut in Navy Cardstock with the Fancy For You Die.
My second card (and video linked below) has the beautiful Open Bloom 3D Die sitting on a Nesting Frame.
and the sentiment for this one comes from the Retro Plantines Stamp Set.
You can see the video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Beautiful card, and I love that you created your own watercolor paper to cut the flower from!
Beautiful set of cards! The first one is so pretty with the background and debossing! 🙂
Great cards! Your own watercolor paper made the 3D flower extra-special.
Love the look of both of these. I just got the Garden Picks 3D dies.
you make that 3d die look easy.
Beautiful cards Therese – LOVE the water colour paper your created. (It’s on my “to do” list for the weekend). I had no idea about the 3D flower class at Altenew – sounds wonderful 🙂
I like the color combination of the diy paper.
Lovely card, Therese. It looks fairly quick & easy, too! Always love the wonderful flower sets from Altenew!
Fabulous background on the first card—the dotted starburst pattern adds a subtle but super fun texture/detail. And I absolutely LOVE the watercolored cardstock you created and your beautiful color combo!!!
Such amazing designs! Lovely!
Pretty cards! I really love that 3D flower.
Beautiful cards – love the soft color combo you used for both. The open bloom 3D die is so pretty!
Beautiful cards, Therese!! I love the background of the first card!

Wonderful cards! I already had to buy that beautiful 3D flower.

Wow to that gorgeous soft coloured background Therese. Also love the layers of that beautiful flower on your second card.
Your cards are gorgeous Therese and I love that you used the same colour tones in both. Another great release to tempt me with…and believe me, I am tempted.
Therese, I love both of your cards. You have a great eye for colours, the first is so soft and pretty and your second, love the dark leaves, just makes your flower pop!
What chic, awesome designs. They feel as fresh as spring’s return itself.

Great pair of cards and I love them both. Though in a bit of a sucker for a 3D floral. Ant wait to get home to watch the video.

Beautiful job with the watercolors. Great color choices!
Such pretty cards!
Both cards are beautiful and I love that you created your own background paper. it’s subtle and beautiful and worked so well for both cards. The Dotted Starburst cover die and the Open Blooms floral die are my two favorites from this release. I think the layered floral blooms look great in any paper but there is something very special about them on a hand watercolored paper! 🙂
Love your cards. The 3D dies are just awesome!

My favorite product in this Altenew release is the dotted starburst so I was delighted that you used it in your first card! but both of your cards are gorgeous!b
Very pretty card creations. Thank you for the inspiration!
I love the way you added watercolor paper to solid cardstock. It gives a lovely texture to the flower.
So very pretty! And the splatters really add a special touch.
I love the 3D layers done in watercolor finishes, Therese. They are so soft and dimensional with their color variations.
Sooooo pretty!
I like the extra subtle texture the Dotted Starburst die adds to the hand painted background of the first card.
A couple of beauties, Therese … don’t the pink and navy make a wonderful combination … fabulous with the dotted texture and bold sentiment … and so lovely on that gorgeous dimensional bloom! Hugs, Anita 🙂
