Do you like a large bloom on a card? Today I have 2 examples to share including a video! But first…
Did you know that this is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from the VICKI’s wonderful Blog!
I am enjoying the larger style flowers that are being released at the moment, they make such a statement on a card and very little else really needs to be done to make them shine! I loved colouring this sweet Simple Roses image and thought a little foil shine would add a little something.
I added a Trellis Stencil background and a Signature Words sentiment.
My next card features the Hello Hydrangea bloom.
And I have a video sharing how to create his fabulous border frame using the Thin Frame 3D Die Set.
You can see my video or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
Prizes:
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog by 10/11/2020 for a chance to win.

You’ve nailed it again, Therese! This new set of BIG flowers is going to be a hit. The hydrangeas are lovely in the simple coloring (always makes me hopeful that I might be able to do something like it). And the frame is terrific! Thank you!!
I like the subtle foil highlights and background stencilling on card one. Your hydrangea is also lovely.
Gorgeous, Therese! I’m speeding over….

Great video. Thanks for showing hints to help with making that frame. Love both cards.
This is gorgeous. I love the new hydrangea set. The big bloom is awesome and the sentiments are so varied and would be versatile additions to one’s stash. TFS!
These are beautiful. I love the simple roses stamp set from this release and that makes your card using it my favorite of these two! 🙂
I love that shimmer on the simple roses card; the flowers really look like they are vibrant and glowing. I love the colours of your hydrangeas too.
Love both cards, but I think the hydrangea has it because I love that sentiment! So contemporary ❤️Thank you for the tips too. Always love your tips. So useful.
Great cards. I love that frame! It makes your work more like art!
Loving that frame die!!
good job with the altenew cozy collection.
Fantastic cards! Very lovely. The foil shine makes it so special and extraordinary.
Beautiful cards, as always! Wasn’t feeling the hydrangea so much until I saw how you were able to showcase it with a frame. Will now need to rethink my shopping list. 🙂
I love the frame idea and the card with the stenciling is stunning.

Lovely video Therese! I can remember you creating a frame like this a few years ago – no dies then! But don’t they make life so much easier! Love your hydrangea in the corner – perfect complement to the large greeting!
WOW. What a great frame die set. Braver than I, I would have totally mucked it up cutting the leaf! Two gorgeous cards.
Gorgeous cards as always, Therese. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

I love the white on white texture background and the “shiny” highlights on the rose card.
How did I miss that Thin Frame 3D die set! I definitely need that! Your card is gorgeous. I love that hydrangea and your coloring is amazing.
I love hydrangeas, especially in the variety of colours, depending on the soil content. The Frame die is very cool looking. I am especially taken with the card using the Trellis die & the Simple Roses stamp. It is so beautiful!
Stunning flower and such an elegant card!
The big, soft, pink bloom is delicious over the white on white texture, Therese … and how gorgeous is the hydrangea all crisply framed up … lovely! Hugs, Anita 🙂
This October release has some great products, and you picked 2 of my top 3 favorites. I haven’t seen much with the frames, so it was nice to see the video. TFS!
I love a big bloom… the font on the first card looks amazing. Great video!
GORGEOUS cards, Therese! Beautiful watercoloring on your flowers and leaves…WOW! I would love to know which colors you used on the ‘Simple Rose’…it’s so pretty!!!
