Altenew has absolutely knocked it out of the park with this month’s new Build-A-Flower!! It called to me, and I have three very different cards today that just show how beautiful the Bellaroma Hybrid Tea Rose is! This post is part of an Altenew Blog Hop with prizes! Stay tuned for more details. If you didn’t come here as part of the hop you can also head over to the Altenew Blog to start at the beginning!
For my first card, I decided to go for drama. I stamped the rose and the leaves in similar colors using the Fall Harvest set of inks and a black outline. In a few places I added a little more detail with an alcohol marker. I then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.
For my background I used a panel of Altenew Apple Red cardstock which I dry embossed with the Ornamental 3D Embossing Folder. I then added a little dark ink around the edges to deepen the red and emphasize the edges of the embossed image.
I mounted all of the rose and leaves over the panel with foam squares, and I also splattered a little white acrylic paint over the top. My sentiment was stamped in Obsidian Black Ink onto the same Red Apple cardstock, which I mounted in the centre. To finish I scattered a few red jewels for extra luxury!
I had a few of the leaves I’d colored left over. I stamped a few of the leaf outlines in white pigment ink onto a pale aqua card panel trimmed to 3.75″ x 5″, and added a few white acrylic paint splatters. I then mounted the left over leaves with foam squares over the top.
I heat embossed the sentiment in Pure White Crisp embossing powder and then mounted the panel onto a white notecard. I added a few sparkly white holographic enamel dots to finish and add subtle bling!
For my final card, I stamped the main rose flower in black ink and layered it with the Sugarplums range of purples. I then decided to spend a little time adding depth and shading with alcohol markers in more detail than before. It really adds a big difference. I also fussy cut out the rose to avoid leaving a white border and edged it with a black marker to tidy it up.
For my background I used a panel of kraft cardstock which I dry embossed with one of the Leaf Clusters from the Just Leaves dies. I also cut several more out using silver mirror cardstock which I mounted with foam tape onto the background. I stamped the ‘New Beginnings’ sentiment in black ink and then added a few white paint splatters. I mounted the rose in the centre and finished with a few dark sequins.

Sensational cards!
I like your minimalist colours!
Love the addition of the embossing folder on the first card which also has great colors!
Three very different cards and all beautiful in different ways. Your details on each of the cards really make them special. The dry embossed leaves on the third one are a touch I want to emulate. Thanks for all the inspiration.
All three of your cards and stunning. I love the dark red background with the yellow roses.
Very nice, roses are always a classic. Thanks for sharing different ways to use this set.
I like all your cards very much. This is such a pretty design from Altenew!
Wow! Gorgeous inspiration for this new stamp set! I love the deep, vibrant colors of that first card, the soft pastels of the second, and the kraft background on the third. All are beautiful!
You got the drama down perfect. The background is as rich as the flower itself. So much talent!

Sugarplums on kraft gets my vote for sure! Those leaves all by themselves make a beautiful background. Thanks for the inspiration.

Beautiful cards. My favorite is the first one with the stunning gold against the dark red. Thanks for the inspiration.

These designs are awesome! I love the die-embossed leaves that subtly fill out and ground your floral cluster, the bold red and gold colors on the first card, and the ghostly outline leaves on the green background.
Absolutely stunning! I LOVE the Red and yellowy gold!

Great idea shares. I like the show on how to add layers. Great use of the embossing.
Love the variety of your designs. Especially love the one with leaves only.
Oh my those are GORGEOUS! I love them all, but especially the last one for the use of the silver and the dry embossing on the card stock. You made really good use of the leaves.
Hi Jenny. I love the dry embossing on the background on your card. Lovely work!!

Sadly I have the need to make some sympathy cards, but there is some lovely inspiration here with simple yet elegant designs. Thank you.

Oh my goodness that REDcard is stunning!
All cards look great with a lot of inspiration when using the set. The colors used are so pretty with each card. Love the embossing on card #1 as I await for my folder to arrive. Going to be a good hop.
Very nice cards.
Wow, Jenny, you have outdone yourself with these beautiful creations. The color choices are spot on & I really like the simplicity of the left-over leaves card. A great design!
Very elegant cards and love the color choices
I enjoyed all 3 of your lovely cards, but the last one is my favorite! I love the colors!
Beautiful red and golden color combo, very unique!
that tea rose is so pretty! And I love your coloring.
I absolutely love the red and gold look! It’s not a combination that I often see together, but it is regal and reminds me of the opera or the theatre 🙂
Stunning! The colors are sensational!
Three very beautiful cards. That first one – what a Stunner! Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
What a gorgeous set of cards, Jenny! They are so eye-catching and make the most of these beautiful roses! Wonderfully clever designs and colour combinations! Thanks so much for the great inspiration! Stay safe! 🙂
Love the red background!!!
Gorgeous cards! The red and yellow one is stunning- love the texture on the background!
Pretty background designs and color combos!
You weren’t fooling when you said you were going for drama on your first card. WOW, WOW, WOW! Fantastic colors and extra accents. I also feel the last card had it’s own drama as well because of the extra shading you did on the rose.
I love how you used the 3D Embossing Folder for the background
I love your card with the purple rose! so pretty!
The red and gold is absolutely stunning
Gorgeous color combos!
