Do you like to create your own beautiful backgrounds? Today I have a video sharing just how quick and easy it is to create 2 fast and fun card designs!
It’s time for another Build-A-Flower release from Altenew and this one is the beautiful Parrot Tulips. Did you arrive here from KEISHA’s incredible Blog, if you did, then you are in the right place!

Multi stamping makes quick work, especially if you have a stamp positioning tool such as the MISTI.

I started with a simple black and white combo and I die cut a negative space window with the Apothecary Labels Nesting Die.

I also added a little Antique Gold Ink Spray and a Signature Words Die sentiment.

You could easily choose any colour palette but today I was feeling ‘blue’ so I chose the beautiful Dusk Ink.

This time I added a bold Waterbrush Hello Die sentiment and a sub sentiment from the Hello and Hugs Stamp Set.

You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Just beautiful as usual Terese. Thanks for sharing.
Do you know that Tulips are near and dear to me? The Parrot tulips are so elegant, and way more fancy than those simple whites I carried down the aisle!
You’ve arranged them beautifully, Therese!

Lovely cards Therese. Haven’t made a card like that in quite a while. They’re just beautiful. Isn’t stamping just an amazing way to create? So versatile. Sometimes we forget an individual stamped image doesn’t need to the focus. Thanks for the reminder. Stay safe â¤ï¸
Altenew is the best for florals . Your creativity compliments their designs beautifully. Thanks
I love this as just the background stamp. Just simple but so impactful.
Such gorgeous cards!
Thanks for sharing.
Intriguing designs!! Thanks for the inspirations.
These are beautiful cards and the designs show this parrot tulip to perfection! Parrot tulips are my favorite tulips!
Really Beautiful cards!!! That layer is perfect!!!
I have always loved parrot tulips! Beautiful card – thanks for sharing!
Great cards as always Therese, Love your work and this set is so realistic of the flower itself. Good job Altenew. This was a beautiful hop. Thanks everyone for sharing your beautiful talent.
Wow- very creative and I wouldn’t have thought if it on my own. Reminds me of a toile fabric. Love the traditional blue one. TFS
Nice elegant touch! Nicely done!
I love how using these flower stamps in the background kind of gives it a marble effect!
Love the single color aspect of these. Very simply and beautiful.
Your cards are so simply beautiful! I love all the little touches!
As usual, you’ve taken this new flower stamp set and given it a twist. Both these cards are very beautiful and I love that you have created a unique background. Such a timeless, versatile and elegant design.
Cheers
Lisa
these are so pretty – I’ve never heard of parrot tulips before!
These parrot tulips really are a gorgeous stamp set & they are even more gorgeous in a garden. I like both the colours you used on your cards & the way you inset the die cut piece on the black & white one with the sentiment label.
Stunning cards!
Lovely cards! The black & gold is so elegant. This is a wonderful new set.
I just love your cards! Using one part to make a background was a great idea.
