Do you have any layering floral stamps? Today I have a fantastic idea with 2 different card examples!
But first… Did you know that this video is part of my Take 2 With Therese series of videos that I create for Altenew? You can check out the full playlist right HERE for more inspiration.
The Altenew Build-A-Flower stamp sets are perfect for the technique that I am sharing today! And that because I am going to use the layers to create silhouette images! For todays card I am using the Giant Bellflower stamp set, but you could any set you have.
My first idea is to create an ombre background with a bold silhouette bouquet.
I used the beautiful Sweet Dreams colours and die cut it into a Rounded Rectangles panel.
And then added a sentiment from the Fragile Foliage Stamp Set.
My second card uses the same bouquet but this time I stamped it using Dew Drops Ink.
I was able to add colouring and shading to the ‘silhouette’ using the Woodless Coloring Pencils.
And finally, I added a sentiment from the Fancy Hello Die with a heart enamel dot.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
I hope you are inspired to create a silhouette floral card! And if you do, I’d love to see it so please tag me on social media! Thanks so much for stopping by today, hugs,

Only one thing could make these gorgeous cards more beautiful – me watching you make them IRL! In the meantime, I’m dashing over to watch ‘over your shoulder’ kinda!
So beautiful – and I really must have that hello!
=]
I know right, this fancy hello is one of my fave sentiment dies!
Gorgeous cards!
Thanks so much Carol!
Really beautiful sympathy card! Love that bold black with the blues
I think that one is my fave and it was so very easy to do too!
Loving that gorgeous blue
This is one of my fave sets of ink from Altenew!
It is amazing how the same stamp set created two totally different looks. Brilliant idea to use the second layer of the floral image for the sillouette– perfect!
These layering sets are fabulous for using in such different ways!
Two amazing cards and can’t wait to watch the video when I’m back home from work this evening.

Thank you Lisa, I love the versatility of these sets!
Now that’s nice! I love it, such a beautiful project, thank you. I gave up purchasing paper crafts for Lent – but I’m still looking and this is wonderful!
Looking is great Denise, it may just inspire you to create something similar with what you already have (and for me, that’s a lot to choose from lol)
Stunning cards, Therese. They’re gorgeous. The aqua blue background is perfect! Wow! 😍😍😍
I’m totally loving blending at the moment!
So beautiful both of them,the silhouette against the gorgeous sponged background is very dynamic and I was mesmerized by your pencil colouriung on the second.Those pencils look amazing,you make it look so easy but i know it isn’t . I really enjoyed the video am always inspired firstly to spend money lol and then to how ago myself so thank you for that.
Marie
So happy you were inspired Marie, I do love the versatility of these layering sets for this reason.
Simply gorgeous. This Bellflower is so pretty I just had to go down to my local to buy the stamp and die set. Now if only I could colour half as good as you.
Thanks so much Lyn!
Oh my word! Where to start? Your cards are simply stunning, I literally love EVERYTHING about these, the style, the sentiment, the colours are simply beautiful. Never in a million years could I imagine making a card so beautiful, but I will certainly keep trying. As recommended by my sister Marie I’m going to watch some of your videos this afternoon. I’ll certainly be watching you closely(hope that doesn’t sound creepy haha)
Kal
Welcome Kal, I’m so happy that you are here! I’ve known your sister Marie for years now and really look forward to seeing what both of you create! Big hugs
